Is it possible to download a adware if you are just surfing the web?nortin
Yes, but it is much less likely if you keep your Windows fully updated and patched every month and you never allow a website to install an Active-X control on your computer. Never lower your Internet Zone security level below Medium and never turn off your firewall for even a minute.
Remember, Microsoft issues updates on the 2nd Tuesday of every month.

Yes, you can get spyware/adware by just visiting a site...it automatically installs without you knowing about it. Not all sites have it, and some are harmless.
As opposed to NOT surfing the web? If you're connected, adware can come from anywhere at any time.
