[QUOTE="Minimalist, post: 936972, member: 89179"] For ordinary user automatic download of malware can be problematic. I guess that they should be educated not to open files that were not intentionally downloaded. OTOH drive-byes that exploit a weakness in software or OS are harder to fight against (apart from regular patching) but it's also probably harder to stumble upon one of these. [/QUOTE]
