I don't open any attachments unless it was preceded with a phone call. (Mostly Blueprints and drawings or specs PDF etc)

I've lost too much time rebuilding to take any chances, even with daily backups, daily scans etc, attachments are risky. I'd loose at least a day if I were infected.

What troubled me was the part about simply visiting a site could infect your computer.

Happened to me once visiting of all things, a site about Japanese kitchen knives! Luckily my McAfee caught it and I cleansed it.
