It is possible to download a file that installs its malware on your computer automatically (or triggered by a virus scan, mouse movement, etc.)? Or do you have to open or execute it for it to install?
And those websites that say you have spyware on our computer. I went to one today accidentally. I was searching up my calculator my anyways it automatically scanned my computer for spyware. It was quick though I pressed back before it go to the end. When i pressed back, is said that I still have spyware on my computer and that I need to download so and so. (Obviously I did not download it) Is it possible for it to install malware on my computer while I am visiting the site?
Should I post the site that I just went to?
BTW I am doing a Spybot S&D scan right now.
Thanks,

OOO it turns out that Spybot S&D has found BPS Spyware Remover:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{some code in hex}
EDIT: I used S&D to fix the BPS problem.
website I went to was www2.posfy.cn/casio.html.
BECAREFUL. WEBSITE COULD BE DANGEROUS.
