Or you can get a free Open Source Windows Authenticator...

If you prefer you can use these instructions to run the official Blizzard java authenticator on a Java emulator as well.

Two FREE options to have an authenticator on your account. 99% of the time it doesn't ask you for the code because unless you login from somewhere else it remembers that you entered a code recently. Is this option as secure as the other mobile authenticator or the dongle? No, but I ensure you the hackers have MUCH lower fruit to exploit than to try and see if you have a PC authenticator on your machine.
There is NO legitimate reason to not have an authenticator on your account at all times. It's not Blizzard's responsibility to secure your account credentials. Having an authenticator is not making up for a shortcoming of Blizzard security nor some way to exploit money out of you. If you have an authenticator you will not be hacked. PERIOD.
