No, sorry, that's not correct. Web sites exploit bugs in browsers, extensions, the operating system. Merely by opening a web page, they can run code on your system. We had this in the past for example: - GDIplus had a bug that when a certain image would shown, some part of the image would be treated as code and executed. - TCP/IP stack bugs exploited buffer overruns by sending you TCP/IP packages out of order or malformed packages.
