I remember Comet Cursor using drive-by install techniques, back when browser security basically didn't exist, so you would find it installed after visiting certain websites, and there was at least one example of advert iframes setting off the background install. IIRC dilbert.com was an example of a significant site that did this (I stopped visiting for that reason, or something very similar if it wasn't Comet Cursor) either directly or through an advert it carried.
