Many drive-by installs happen directly through your browser - even if you don't click to download anything.

So update Java, and remove old versions

Good info, thanks

I checked this page for older versions:

http://www.java.com/en/download/uninstall.jsp

and indeed I have one from 2007 on there. Look in Settings/Control Panel/Programs and Features to see if any old versions of Java exist or go to the above page and it will tell you:

"We have detected the following old versions of Java that are installed on your system:

* Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 6 Update 1

These should be removed to ensure your system security."

Cool beans.
