seen one of these thing happen on my Win2K & XP systems,
mind you, I use FireFox with:
- NoScript
- FlashBlock
- AdBlock Plus
- Better Privacy
- FlagFox
- FormFox
I also have my network behind a dual cascaded DHCP NAT IPS security router setup
the first router creates a subnet to which the second belongs and then the second creates another subnet creating a sort of "no-mans land" between them
modem > Router > Router > Network
and I don't
- surf
- use facebook, etc.
- go to unsolicited links (ie. those in spam etc.)
also I refuse to use IE for anything but the win update site and the occasional visit to the E-SET site for the Online AV scanner just to verify what I already know
my systems are clean
