I’m running CAV (2.0.17.58).
I got hit by a nice drive by download. With lots of detective work 4 hours later I finished nixing the half-dozen .exe’s that appeared in my system32 dir.
Google has a whitepaper on drive by downloads dated Feb. 2008 claiming a huge volume of “malicious URL’s” in their research.
From the whitepaper:
“Unfortunately, we also find that even state-of-the-art anti-virus engines are lacking in
their ability to protect against drive-by downloads. While this is to be expected, it does call for
more elaborate defense mechanisms to curtail this rapidly increasing threat.”
