Heheh, the key word here is "No antivirus or firewall locally".

I've got a Linux firewall with netfilter. Large portions of Asia and the Eastern Block are banned... They kept harassing my DNS.

I've only "caught" a worm once since I started on the net in the 1980's (before the early 90's explosion), and that's because I used a VPN to tunnel to my company. My bare computer exposed to the company's infected LAN...

So I'm not too worried.
