Browser And E-mail Software Bugs
Users do not update their software versions as often as they should be, and a lot of the attackers are taking advantage of this well known fact. Imagine you are using an old version of Internet Explorer and you visit a (malicious) site
that will check and automatically infect your machine without you downloading or executing any programs.
The same scenario goes when you check your E-mail with Outlook Express or some other software with well known problems, again you will be infected without downloading the attachment. Make sure you always have the latest version of your Browser and E-mail Software, and reduce the ways of these variations to minimum. Here are some links about Browser and E-mail Software bugs, check them out and understand how dangerous these bugs are, and it's all because of you using an old version of the software.
