It's often said that Spyware can be installed on your PC "just by visiting wrong website." This statement is absolutely true, but have you wondered how that's possible? After all, website operators do not usually have ability to install programs on people's computer without their knowledge.
It's because hackers are able to exploit security vulnerabilities in web browsers (most commonly Internet Explorer). Usually Microsoft releases fixes for security vulnerabilities shortly after they are discovered - yet average Windows user 1.) doesn't know about vulnerability and 2.) doesn't know about fix.
What this means is that most people go for long periods of time with vulnerable versions of Internet Explorer.
