How can you be forced to install a program from a site? Windows will tell you when something wants to be installed, and give you the choice.

If you're running an unpatched OS or even pre-SP2 Windows XP, some sites can exploit bugs in IE to gain access and install shit. And it's not limited to IE either, other browsers can and will have similar issues.

Keep your system up-to-date and don't visit shady sites. It also helps to install antispyware software(Hint: Windows Defender is both free and good) and a good antivirus(Antivir for example. Don't use Norton since it's a piece of shit and has a habit of not being up to date)

Also, if you suspect that a post or link can pose a risk, use the Report button. It's what it's there for.

I also wanted to help prevent this from happening to others who were unprepared as I was.
