Those flaws allow the Web server to install a program that takes control of the user's computer.
Would you like to know more? Might I suggest? an alternative.

I don't know to be honest, I've not seen anyone actually listing infected websites yet, beyond some comment about "not naming them for liability reasons". So in the meantime people keep visiting these "popular" sites & getting infected, great decision. |

I wonder if this problem has been happening for a while already but we just did not know about it. Imagine how much damage could have already been done. |
