Dencandy Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Two weeks ago I got infected by 4 worms & 2 trojans all from a well-known Indian news site called Express Buzz (now added to my restricted sites list). They came through security flaws in Java Runtime (now patched) used to display adverts & other stuff. ESET only detected them afterwards. So malware can hit is anytime from any source.

So malware can hit is anytime from any source.Use NoScript ( http://noscript.net/ ), it will stop all the extras from opening, can be a pain untill you get in the habit of allowing new sights to work but stops all the extras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted September 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 I use NoScript as well. A real pain when you first install it but, I wouldn't be without it now.Installed on the recommendation of Nellie2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem arose with failing to digest the news I was reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
