[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 1070623, member: 31436"] While it is possible to get infected just by visiting a malicious website, if you keep Windows and your browser updated, then it's something that in my experience is highly unlikely to happen. The vast majority of infections occur when you manually download and open an infected file from a website, rather than just from visiting the website. [/QUOTE]
