It is perfectly possible to get malware while being an innocent user.

viewtopic.php?p=116130#p116130

Just visiting that cartoon site on that day with a system which had not had all the windows updates done, and you would have been infected.

That talk will give you some other ideas on how people get infected.

Welcome alan to the forums,

Unfortunately, the ways to get viruses, trojans etc. are many. They are written by those out to create problems while spamming, attacking websites, making life not to happy for many affected.

The common ways are: Attachments in email, P2P filesharing, and hijacked websites.
There are many good and free protections available. These need kept updated regularly. Java, Adobe, Flash also need kept updated as well as the monthly updates from Microsoft.
As for a "quick Fix", that depends on what infection(s) a computer has. Short of a complete reformat, there is no quick one fix does all.
Surf safe, don't open unknown email and keep updated mostly. Stay away from dodgy "warez" sites as well.
Also, avoid sites asking you to download video codecs to see a video. Check MS if you need any, or your music/video players homesite. Most likely the site offering the supposedly need codec will download a virus or trojan and not a codec or movie.

Hope that helps you out.
