I've been trying to get infected

[moontan]

by 'drive-by' malwares.

i been surfing malicious sites for the past 2 hours.
no anti virus programs, only Chrome and UAC at maximum.

a few sites opened what i assume where malicious PDF but Chrome displayed a "Failed to Load PDF" message.

almost all the malicious sites i've been to required the user to install a plugin or download a file and execute it.
a few sites where able to drop files to the desktop without user intervention but they were easily thrown in the Recycle Bin.

seems like you pretty got to install a virus yourself if you want one.


is there any drive-by malware around?
if there are, i haven't found them...

Tip: You may want to give IE a try. Disable UAC, which equals to no Protected Mode. See what happens. Enable UAC, which equals to PM back. See what happens.

That would make a nice test. Live dangerously.

sorry, i will only test with Chrome.
I only use IE9 for banking and other sensitive stuff.
i'm not in the habit of "spanking and banking".

So... you went with the browser that has no known in-the-wild exploits to try to find exploits in the wild? :p haha what exactly were you expecting?

errr, i don't know.
i would expect that if Chrome had an encounter with a drive-by, it would at least burp.
or fart.
