The two most common applications attacked, PDF's and IE

Surprisingly, PDF-based download exploits rose to account for 49 percent of online attacks. Internet Explorer was the second most attacked application, accounting for 18 percent of web-based attacks. Incredibly, the Internet Explorer vulnerability in question is the Microsoft Internet Explorer ADODB.Stream Object File Installation Weakness that first came to the world's attention in August 2003, and was patched the following July – and that means that a whole lot of people AREN’T patching their computer regularly.

How to Protect Yourself from Getting Infected

Since new threats are developed daily, it’s important to stay vigilant about keeping your computer or network’s security current. The most obvious line of defense is up-to-date virus protection that has the ability to scan and clean inbound and outbound e-mail messages. Next, make sure you have the latest security patches and updates installed for your operating system, especially if you are running Microsoft Windows. You should also have a software or hardware firewall installed. Finally, modify your browsing habits. Do not click on pop up ads, download “cute” screen saver programs or emoticons, and never participate in peer-to-peer network download sites.
