Drive-by Downloads

Drive-by Dowloads can occur without the user even knowing they've occurred. A drive-by download is a program that is automatically downloaded to your computer without even needing your permission. A drive-by download is installed invisibly to the user and it can occur from simply visiting a website. Sometimes drive-by downloads are installed during another application's install. You need to review your computer's security settings to be sure that they are robust enough to ward off drive-by downloads, otherwise, it may be possible for drive-by downloads to infest your pc without you knowing they even exist...
