Use Mozilla Firefox as well. I have a very secure system, virus and spyware-wise (As I have Ad-Aware, Spybot, SpywareBlaster, Microsoft AntiSpyware, Norton Antivirus) so I wanted to test it. One of my friends had the AIM virus so I got an instant message with only "Check out these great pics from my trip! http://www.genericpicturesite.com/trip/fun.jpg". I opened it up and a popup appeared from Firefox "The website is trying to install "funpictures.jpg.exe" do you wish to install?"
Of course, I selected no and moved along.
Jackasses write viruses and computer illiterates spread them through the web.
