Just a note on websites - I had a big issue with both my work computer and my home computer (while I was working at home) at a previous employer. The work computer I had to send away to be fixed, and it happened again at home while I was working, so I was able to call our work IT people and have them connect to my computer and look at it. He said that basically I could have gotten it from anywhere, and he told me something that is really important to do is to always update Java and other programs like that when you get a little popup on your computer saying they are out of date. He said a lot of the new viruses somehow exploit the older versions and get to your computer that way, from any website, any ad or banner on a website, or whatever. He said it would be almost impossible to pinpoint where I got it from!
