I don't see how this can be true. I run Windows XP SP1 on my laptop and haven't applied any patches for over a year. I don't run any firewall or antivirus software. I run firefox as my browser and don't install any obviously virus-ey type stuff. Yet still my PC is fine after 2 and half years running the same Windows installation.
