    How can you get a virus by just visting a web page & not clicking...?


    Well, not necessarily true nowadays. ANY SITE which has ads, is a possible infection vector - even totally and completely legitimate, otherwise harmless sites.

    Well besides company owned(like MS) and other non profit sites most places will have some sponsorship. But that will as far as I go on that topic. Sites that have been compromised if not having deliberately installed a bug dropper might see something passed along. The hack would need to be sophisticated as well as cleverly hidden however since a restoration of the server's backup will simply put things back the way they were.

    VIPRE will flag any number of sites simply due to how things are coded while still being totally innocent at the same time. You will this mostly among the sites that are set up to be anywhere near as secure as others simply by the owner having cut costs or through neglect hasn't upgraded things over time in any type of regular pattern.
    (I know that from one place only too well. *Rolleyes)
