You need something that's monitoring each website as it loads. My two cents, of course, but in the event you get a virus, are you ever going to trust that install again?

I say we blast off and nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

15 years, zero viruses

Of course i've been in IT for most of 17 years so I know how the stuff works.

I never click on ads which is mostly what keeps me safe (and staying away from the gray sites), if I want to check out what they have to offer I search for the site. I don't recomend this for 99.9% of people out there, I've just seen enough people make the mistakes and had to clean up their mess to not make them myself. From my experience, people are their own worst enemies when it comes to getting this stuff, it only has half to do with what they are using. If the virus community wanted to target Linux and Firefox, they could... MS makes money from their product so they are the primary target.
