That is very true... [still off topic] I never thought you can get a virus from a web site (assuming you don't download anything), but sure enough... I was browsing the web, searching on google, clicked on link that redirected me to another site that popped up 20 IE windows (loading ads I think), and then my AV software came up with a warning. In the end, IE crashed, AV went back to sleep and I rebooted. Just a weird thing I guess.
