Question

Can you get a virus from downloading something from a website?
We got one last week on our laptop and I blame it on my son for downloading something from one of the many sites he gets stuff for video games and cheat codes for gameboy and crap. It changed the homepage to some smut page and my wife had a heck of a time getting rid of it. Maybe it came thru the mail but the other comp. didn't get it and my son was the only one on the laptop so I assume it came from the web. Is that possible?
