That is only one method of infection.
There are plenty of viruses (and hackers) that scan for open ports and
exploit bugs like buffer over-runs to get in. The hackers and viruses may
be ahead of your security patches, though M$ are getting better at that.
Once something has got in you need to know about it. Its all very well  
having
skin (firewall) to protect us from bugs in the real world but we need an  
immune
system (malware scanner) as well. Its a belt and braces thing.
Of course, on linux your skin is more like a spacesuit so there's less to  
worry
about. Less virus writers and a less flawed security model.
