With legitimate sites being poisoned on an infrequent, but not uncommon, basis, I'd say that's no longer true.
Of course, being smart will really cut down your chances of being infected, but with so many free and cheap options that don't really hinder the performance or usability of your computer, I don't see any reason why you wouldn't use an anti-virus other than to be self-righteous like 3 of my friends who have been infected in the last 3 months w/ the same attitude. Only 1 of those friends switched to an active anti-virus after reformatting. :shrug:
