Vistors to Cracked.com in the early part of November may have malicious malware installed on their systems without ever knowing! Barracuda Labs discovered the comedy site was hosting a drive-by download of malware, found in malicious javascript.

The problem seems to have been stemmed for now, but if you saw a certain pop-up advisory, you may have been a victim. Google has flagged the site as dangerous before...will the problem resurface later? Kim Horcher and Tim Frisch discuss.
