(Or some variant of this.Keyloggers, or other crap.) Internet Explorer users are usually hit by this kind of attack. The average user doesn't know how to prevent this from happening. There is also the risk of the program being smart enough to maneuver around any anti-virus software the user is running as well. One of the things that I always dreaded when I did tech support was summer vacation, because as soon as there was a break a new virus would appear. Mainly from bored hackers that are out of school.
