you can get infected by just visiting a website? Damn thats hard. I always knew MS was the root of all evil. ( yet still i use it
)
It's hardly that bad.
This site has a pretty well presented case study of actual ActiveX exploits compared to user-dependent infections. And if you already clicked the link and I hadn't deleted the hyphen, you'd be in the exact same situation as any IE, FF, Moz, Opera user - facing a run box.
Malware is caused by ignorance and clicking 'yes'. I'd use IE if no one else ever touched my computer (and it had tabs, and rss bookmarks). Just the other day I found someone panicking because 'the popup won't close, and keeps opening windows!'. I go to investigate and find that they're clicking the Win98 style X box on a static banner on a webpage, opening god knows how many instances of an ad. Nevermind that the rest of Windows is skinned to look like OSX.
