when surfing adult websites, is there still a way for a malicious file to be installed without my approval? usually, imo, people get worms or viruses because they click "ok" on a fake popup box. but i could be wrong. i have firefox with popup blocker, noscript and flashblock extension. i clear cookies after i'm finished browsing. are those pretty much safeguards?

hi, porn site always has virus. it can hack your IE browser. i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can disable all virus to run, because the virus can only run on IE.
besides, firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.
firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.
