Traditional security research for web infections suggests that an infected website is immediately apparent in iframes, links or scripts that contain pointers to infected servers. The user loads the link, the frame or the script and is subsequently infected.
The newest infection on the internet generates an infection script only after a user has visited the homepage. It is theorized that it is a rootkit on the host computer, but as of yet security researchers cannot track it and cannot find a way to combat it.
