That won't cut it these days. Just because your system isn't acting up doesn't mean some real bad stuff is operating in there.
At a minimum you ought to download, update and run Spybot and Adaware, and run through a few of the online scanners.
The reason your friends are always fixing things is probably because they discovered that they were there...
"That's good enough..." usually isn't.
