Last night, while at home, I ran short on things to do. So I set up a virtual XP machine with no AV/Firewall/Security Patches with the intention of finding a virus from some sketchy site and running it to see what it would do.
I couldn't.
I visited EVERY banner and pop up ad I could, most only asked you to buy something. I downloaded 3-4 "pc optimizer" programs and even let them install the tool bars and additional programs (you know the ones, they have the tiny tick box so it looks like a ToS agreement).
Nothing.
I then downloaded a "free downloader for 7-zip". I got about 4 programs from the install, but still no virus (or 7-zip for that matter).
The next thing I did I thought FOR SURE would get me somewhere, I Googled "GTA5 PC Free Download" and opened the first link. Downloaded an executable for my "GTA5 downloader" and it did.......

Seriously! Where do people get these things?
