I fully agree with lifeisabeach ,
We have entered a stage where " safe browsing " is being redefined.
Keep your operating system and applications up to date as well as your browser plug-ins.
Never ever install/update software through some fancy looking pop-up window.
Instead, go to the respective web site and update from there. ( Especially Flash and Java )
If you did not specifically went looking for it, don't install it.

Cheers ... McBie
