My question is
Can I get a virus, spyware, keylogging, or hacked if I do not go into any "wrong websites?" What I mean is I have 2 computers, 1 I use for my financials, homework, and games only. The other I use for everything else, I know I have viruses in that second one.
Can I get stuff on the other one if I only go into legitimate websites and play online games. I do not have an anti virus for it.

Any info is useful. thanks

I wouldn't surf without any protection. Free protection is simple and easy to use.

1. Use Firefox for surfing and use the NoScript Extension, with Distrust & Adblock
2. free antivirus such as AVG Free or Avast are excellent.
3. Spyware tools to use SuperAntiSpyware & Spybot: Search & Destroy.

But to answer your question, yes even supposed safe pages can do undesirable things to your PC.
