Occasionally a drive-by download will prompt users to take an action that allows malicious software to take over their machines. The most common example of this today is rogue anti-virus software. You'll visit a web page when suddenly a pop-up window that looks like a legitimate anti-virus program appears on your computer, indicating that it's detected a virus and asking you to click for a free virus scan.

Jim had to "fix" my computer for me. I do not click on anything that I didn't bring up myself now...
