Security 101 - Drive By Downloads

In our very first episode we talked about drive by downloads and how they can infect your machine in just milliseconds after arriving at the site. We had questions about the drive by downloading so we are going to describe what is drive by downloading and how it puts you at risk.

How would you know you are infected and how would you remove the infection?
Will the download show up in download history, will the file activate and run on task manager? How easily would it be detected by most anti virus programs?
