Both I and him are in the same mindset as you, nothing can be installed without user intervention, we're technically clued on computers and both
software developers. I've never in my time seen malware install from visiting a website and thought it to be a myth, but somehow its arrived on,
strange but true, live and learn.
Windows XP 32 bit
IE8 - popup blocker enabled
Symantec Endpoint protection 11 <-- Pretty useless software tbh
Windows defender
Spybot search an destroy
I've never had an issue but I use Server 2008 and Windows 7 (both 64bit versions) on my 3 machines in the office
I am intrigued so I'm gonna set up a sacrificial XP machine with no protection on it and leave it to see if anything happens
