Re: virus/spyware: divxturka.net If your browser is running as a full admin you should know better. You need to run it as a limited user, or have UAC(Vista/Win7) enabled properly to prevent things like this.
The plugins are commonly targeted for exploits, and so are the browsers so it's good to make sure those are up to date.
No anti-software is perfect, and they can only detect a finite number of patterns, which can also lead to false positives. So you cannot depend on them to protect you from your own actions.
