[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 820649, member: 32260"] It is normal that the malicious website can run the malware, but in most cases, it will be contained/restricted in the web browser sandbox (except web browser exploits). The AV with web filtering feature can prevent access to many malicious websites and can block malicious scripts injected to legal websites, but it can be done without the AV, too. In theory (on the well updated system/software), it is possible that very cautious and experienced user could harden a little the web browser and system without losing much usability, and skip the AV real-time protection. She/he would be probably safer than average users with AV protection, but still using the AV by her/him will be safer. :giggle: [/QUOTE]
