NOD32 missed a virus, should I be disappointed?

22MB download, 67MB installed and no BG process to make it faster, it already is fast 
One thing I disliked about Foxit was it took ages to load inside Firefox, IE was fine but Firefox integration was a little slow on every version.

Just make sure Javascripts disabled (If it isnt already in the lite version)
why the hell Adobe need that enabled by default I will never know.
I prefer Sumatra for my pdf reader. Simple, light & not exactly one to get targeted for holes nor do i have some plugin installed to see pdfs in my web browser - would rather see them in the application thanks.
Your Fail was searching for game cracks & from a website full of 'screenstripper' adds or whatever they are called. 2nd potential fail was not using noscript on the website (you could be using it i dont know that for sure) but they certainly dont need scripts on to get the goods..

Thanks for this
I don't mind putting my money where my mouth is, I don't fear being wrong.
Clean install of Windows 7 Pro (32 bit, I couldn't find my x64 copy) with all critical updates applied (didn't bother with the important ones) and MSE updated and running. The only other thing I had running was process explorer to see what was going on. Every other setting was left alone.
Browsed around the named dodgy website for a while (NSFW btw, I should have expected it really) visiting each linked database, refreshed a couple of times to make sure I was giving randomized things a fair shot. Rebooted the machine and had another scout around just to see if anything was pending a restart.
Nothing exciting to report unfortunately. A conclusive test? Probably not, but there you go.

Brave soul. Go back and look at Lego Star Wars complete saga. Didn't even get to click the download, just clicked on the link when it installed itself.
That Lego page has no effect to me on a clean win 7 install either. I would be interested to reproduce this.

Were you running as an administrator? If you were, then it isn't really any surprise malware simply disabled your anti-virus all together. If you are running in an administrator account, anything executing as you is also or can quite easily run in the administrator context as well.
