How can I possibly get a virus that does not come through e-mail?

That is a dangerously naive view of your risks. You should
keep better informed about the kinds of malware that is
out there. There are now websites that can download and
run undesirable code simply by going to the URL.


Perhaps ignorance is bliss. I never knew of 'possession' until
"The Exorcist". ;-) I don't think that any place that I'm going
to be visiting will be dealing out malicious code. I can't imagine
a URL or it's host getting away with that for too long. Malware
and spyware aren't exactly virii, but I'm aware that staying on
the net after obtaining either of the above can lead to serious
problems that might lead to a virus. However....

Given the precautions I outlined earlier, my question stands.
