not running a virus checker and not getting a virus, wether from bt or net or email, probably has more to do with luck than skill. I would recommend running as a bare minimum a free AV (avg is good) and firewall (zonealarm) as well as some sort of adware etc
Dont know about bt but most other p2p is rotten in virus, esp. kazaa. Personally i would scan anything i download
