I wonder what the practical infection vectors for windows these days
if one is careful about installing stuff.

I don't install random binaries from the net. I do install precompiled
exes, but those are from known sources (e.g. git, emacs, etc.). 

Firefox is a possible vector, because one visits lots of random sites with
it, so it may be possible that a site exploits some yet unknown security
hole.

So the question is: does the latter warrant running a virus a scanner or
is the danger so low that it's better to keep windows defender off?
