A virus is a program that must be executed in order to do damage to your computer. You cannot get a virus just from visiting a web site. Ned is correct, you can get malware, but not a virus. If you did get a virus put on your computer from a web site it could not do any damage until you execute the file. Windows will not let you execute a file without giving you a big warning screen first. So you had to visit a malicious site with a lousy browser and then tell Windows to execute the virus exe to get the virus. That is not proper use of a computer.SCVJeff said:NEWSFLASH!
I caught the "XP Anti-Spyware" virus from a broadcast TV related site.
