Not very often and you need to visit a specially crafted web site. In

Ehm... have you been sleeping when someone hijacked the server of

dizzing when some company bought some adspace from Google Ads for
spreading WMF images?
There is no such thing like avoiding dangerous websites.

Anyone with XP SP2 was immune to this.

Ehm, no? Beside that, where is IE6SP2 for Win2K?

Actually XP SP2 was immune. I can't recall what the status was for Win2K.
