Do you think you can get viruses via drive by download via eBesucher?

@HiDevin I suggest you dont download anything. Just view the ads

@jervis I mean you never heard of Drive by Download? you go to a site, and secretly it downloads in the background and executed it in the background which is why im asking

@HiDevin no, i have not. I am only using a spare laptop on eBesucher so i dont really care about the virus. I can just purge it with reformat if ever there was any virus that goes in. I dont run anti-viruses. it just loads too much crap on my hardware.

@HiDevin you can run the surfbar inside of a VM for precaution, that way if you get some Virus you just reformat the VM instead the whole PC
