    Default OK how is this possible ?

    I purposely tried to get a virus, I know stupid. Except I didnt allow temp or any other popups on web sites requesting them. Then later in the day I went to a web site that I play poker on everyday and for the first time it warned me about site wanting to run popups. I didnt allow, and for the heck of it ran a spybot scan and to my surprise , I had a site attach a virus to the web site I play poker at. Claiming to be high speed dialer. So how did I get a virus? By the way spybot killed it DEAD.

    Hello,

    Most online gambling sites, specifically poker sites are not recommendable and install bad stuff. It just is enough sometimes to open the site or allow any script - it are not only pop-ups that do harm. Cookies are installed, or ActiveX elements or BHO's.

    Anyway, glad that Spybot catched it.

    Best regards
