In the past month IE users have been hit with continues
malware from many infected Web sites. It is real easy to
get reinficted if one of these sites is one you visit. I would
also suggest to stop using IE, it is just to big a target for
the malware writers now. MS has been unsuccessful at
being able to make IE safe. Every time internet Security firms find
a IE hole they post the problem on the internet, and within
hours virus, and trojans are writen to take advantage of
the new find.
