I went to my website, Google Community, and read a post about someone who got a virus by visiting the home page of my site. How is that possible? I hadn’t noticed it. Well, they were using Internet Explorer. So I fired up IE, went to Google Community, and sure enough: script dialog boxes appeared, Norton Antivirus popped up, said it couldn’t repair the virus, and Internet Explorer crashed. All just because I visited my own website. I did not click anything, I did not agree to download anything. I did not do anything but simply visit the URL.
