I'm curious. How do you all respond to a fake virus warning (a pop-up window
that says your PC is infected) when browsing the web? I've always used Task
Manager - select the pop-up window and End Task it. That way I won't have to
click any part of that pop-up window because it doesn't matter what we click
(Yes/No, OK/Cancel) the malware will be installed. Sometimes I also wonder
why malicious sites even bother asking us if we want it or not. Why don't
they just install it silently? Is this because of restrictions in one of IE
settings (can't install without asking)? Anyone?
