Yes, it's possible.
For example, you could D/L a program from a malicious website that acts as a trojan, pr0n dialer, etc. It's almost impossible for you not to know about it though, as usually a window pops up asking whether you should install or not. For God's sake, unless you know what it is, click no.

How the hell do you get so many virii? :confused: In 10 years, I've only gotten one, years ago, and it was just the more-or-less harmless w97m.ethan.a
