Web browsing is how 90% of PC's get infected. The other 10% come from email (normally running in a web browser as well).

Also, if you actually looked at the program, you would see that ANY executable program can be ran sandboxed, not just web browsers.

Baloney.

SQL injection uses neither “Web Browsing” nor “Email”.

If I want a sandbox, I’ll use a VM.

Meanwhile, in USB-enabled, non-mathimaticaly impaired reality land:

Flame can also move the target information–along with a copy of itself–onto a USB memory stick plugged into an infected machine, wait for an unwitting user to plug that storage device into an Internet-connected PC, infect the networked machine, copy the target data from the USB drive to the networked computer and finally siphon it to a faraway server.
