Like the Duck, I am also careful about where and what I look for. Maybe
it's luck or maybe it's not, but I certainly have never experienced any

*Where* may have a lot to do with it. A computer illiterate friend had
me look at his computer. It had slowed to a crawl, and he couldn't
figure it out. The "problem" was a 15 year old son that had access to
the computer. I can only guess at all the warez, porno, and other
crapware sites he had been visiting. I couldn't count all the malware
installed.
