Kat does have a point:
The "nitrious" virus I discovered uses javascript to
open the popup for its install ActiveX script and to
prevent someone from closing the install popup,
as well as opening a large number of (apparently
random) websites for reasons I don't know(DDOS
attack maybe?) I have tested this on Mozilla
Firefox(since it is immune to the destructive
part of the virus) and the javascripts work
fine on it, the window won't close, and the
"DDOS" attack runs.

Also I have recieved a number of phising e-mails
that use javascript to make the fake site look secure,
it works so well that the fake site looks identical
to the real one.

This is normally a problem with e-mail settings.
