I noticed your site title, "The Best Antivirus Protection: Common Sense  RandomThoughts" doesn't really reflect the content of your web-site. When writing your website title, do you believe it's most beneficial to write it for SEO or for your readers? This is one thing I've been struggling with because I want good rankings but at the same time I want the best quality for my website visitors. Hello.

None were found. While drive-by attacks on the web are certainly a possibility, many of these sites will be identified by modern browser security implementations. A/V software generally won't protect you against cross-site scripting or HTTP response splitting. SQL Injection has more to do with server attacks than client-side threats. A/V software won't help in any of these cases since simple XSS or SQL Injection can't install software on your computer directly. These types of attacks would be more compromising to an individual's online identity than it would be to their computer. I have done quite a bit of research on the subject :) During the writing of this article, I used Trend-Micro’s Housecall antivirus to scan all of my Windows machines for threats. None were found.
