I just clicked on a website and got attacked when I clicked on a site. I quick hit ctrl alt delete and stopped it in time I think. It was a site in googles listing. I'm using firefox and avg, and they did nothing to stop it. I think I just got real lucky, if i would have clicked to close one of the windows it would have installed. Been there done that.

This shows what happened.

I reported it to google.

Google calls for users to report malicious sites

Google is hoping users of its search engine will report "bad sites" to help the company fight criminals exploiting its infrastructure in order to distribute malicious software.

According to the Google security blog, the search giant already knows about hundreds of thousands of "bad" Web sites but is hoping that its users will add to the list by completing an online form to report malicious sites that are not already flagged.

The fight is important to Google because sites containing malicious software endanger the search giant's reputation by exploiting and infecting its users. This was described recently in a blog by security company Sunbelt.
