As too often occurs, you've added much more to my post than was actually in 
it. Look again: nowhere does it say that I have never had a virus on my hard 
drive; I have. I simply said that I have not made cash outlays to avoid 
them, to elimnate them, or fix any damage. I also did not say some kind of 
"cost" was not incurred; "cost" is often measured as time. Some small amount 
of time is invested. I use free virus scanners on a regular basis. I have 
backups of "important" files. 

My reply was a succinct, direct reponse to a likewise succinct, direct 
comment. When formulating a reply, I read nothing into the comment, nor 
attempted some type of exegesis.
