How is it possible that my up to date install of Windows 7 with UAC enabled and Microsoft Security Essentials running became compromised, seemingly in a website drive-by?
I've run ostensibly the same security setup for many years now and never been compromised, what has changed? Has the nature of attacks become more advanced? What could I do to prevent another attack being successful?
Edited to add: Browsers used are mainly Chrome & Firefox, IE only on certain sites that require it and/or we know are safe.
Edit: Thanks for the answers. I've gone through everything and nothing was permanently damaged (no MBR virus etc.) but at the same time I didn't find anything that would point to the vector. Chalk one up for experience I guess.
