There's a new one going around, I forget the name, but it basically requires zero interaction from the user to be installed on your machine - basically just visit the wrong website by accident and it's there. It then does some crap to your registry and manages to set itself up as a service running in memory to the point where you've got to go into safe mode and manually delete a whole bunch of stuff and fix your registry.
Leave it to a bunch of asshole programmers to take ALL the fun out of surfing for pr0n.
Matty, what Spyware protection programs are you running?

The only ones I know of are called rootkits. Even those are pretty hard to get unless you do as I mentioned above in your pr0n searching.
