I generally do not like virus checkers. They seem to be resource hogs and slow down operations. I also get irritated by false positives (Avast) & continuous updating. I have ran my laptop w/o any protection for 2 years w/o incident. An occasional spybot portable scan only seems to find a couple of tracking cookies.
On my new build, LGA2011 system (6 core CPU, 32gb, 256gb HD), I am considering this approach. Using a light firewall to monitor all internet access (Windows 7 Firewall Control or Comodo) and then putting my browsers/ftp ect in a sandox.
It seems this way I should be protected as long as I don't get seduced by a Trojan.
I'll ghost my system to an external drive and reformat and restore if I find any trouble.
