Trojans While Surfing

[Ryan Hayward]

Sometimes I get trojans from song lyrics sites such as musicsonglyrics.com
Here is an event logged from the above site. Should I be worried about these trojan threats, even with Nod32 protection ?
If so, could I turn something off with IE to prevent possible trojans from infesting my 'puter ?
I have to ask as I use internet banking and don't want those trojans that can log key presses :-)

I am not concerned while using Nod32, though I do also have Process Guard 3 preventing Trojan installation.

Here's the most recent log of yet another attack, this makes 4 in the last 2 hours and all from song lyric sites. Should I delete the files from quarantine to be extra safe or should they be harmless there ?
I wonder why quite a few song lyric sites are up to this sort of behaviour, I thought most trojans would come from porn or warez sites, not seemngly legitimate sites....

They are totally harmless in Quarantine.

Its been like that for a long time... What their gain is I do not know. I suppose lyrics sites are more of an easy way to spread their stuff to the masses. More people prob visit them then some other non legit sites.

And arent the lyrics themselves copyrighted so how legit are lyrics sites anyway?

Why Process Guard?

Text extraxted from ProcessGuard help:

JUST IMAGINE A SECURITY SOLUTION AS POWERFUL AS THIS ...
... that could stop the most dangerous trojans in the world from running
... that allowed you to control which programs can and can't run
... that secured processes from other process-based attacks
... that could prevent kernel rootkit drivers from infecting you
... that allowed you to observe the behaviour of programs
... that allowed you to block hooks and injections
... that secured physical memory from attack
