Hey guys, i've had several viruses during my time using browsers, like ie. But still, is it normal? Or am i just unlucky, or go to the wrong sites? I've at least been attacked 7 times, and probably more, but how many times have this happened for you?

There are many sites that can have viruses. However, usually when you go into a site, you can get spyware/malware, which sometimes can look like a virus. If you don't have an active anti-virus and anti-spyware, they can wreck havoc on your computer. I have had this only happen once or twice, but this was before we got any good anti-virus and anti-spyware.

Well, its not bothering, sometimes i let the viruses stay and see what they do, but i got an active firewall/antimalware (avg/avast!). But still, since the asprox is still going on, we should watch out

That used to happen to me when I used Internet Explorer. It hasn't happened in the two years since I switched to Firefox :)
