Latest on the sensational infection last week
Websense.com reports that 130 web sites are still infected, but none of them especially high profile.
What happens if you visit an infected web site today? You won't get hurt. The web site will still take over your Internet Explorer and try to install software to record what you type. Fortunately the infected web sites never had copies of the software they try to install. Instead they sent you to a server in Russia to get it. The Russian server's been shut down so the infection process can't finish.
