Reading between the lines one (EdC? ha!ha!) could get the idea that you have to visit questionable web sites to get a virus or a worm, not true!
You may get one simply by opening e-mail from RD or Marty! ha!ha!
To clarify, you may very well get your cookies attacked by spy ware by visiting any commercial site, but not if you have adaware or some other spy ware blocker and/or firewall. These spyware programs can track your useage, keystrokes etc. and if you buy on-line, bank on line etc. you are putting yourself at risk for Identity theft, bank account draining or any other Nigerian type scheme to profit at your expense.
