I work in the enterprise space. Like server 2k3 and stuff has when you open a web browser, it wont go to a site until you enable it on a trusted list. If your this paranoid about your game account, Dont browse the p0rns on that computer! As for the guy who tossed his HDD because of a virus... unplug the nic when you do a reinstall.
The problem I am seeing is with ads that get served from other sites to the site you are visiting. I run Firefox with AdBlock and NoScript, so that nothing runs on a site I visit until and unless I enable the originating sites. Some sites will pull in scripts from more than a dozen additional sites! That's just sickening. You are visiting a site you trust, and you are also "visiting" 2-15 other sites that you have no clue about (and if you're not using some form of tracking, such as NoScript, you're not even aware you are visiting them!). Most of the virus/spyware infestations we get at work are from these ads. It's a real problem these days.
