YES! It can be embedded, but it is hard, as it takes a highly trained programmer to do such a thing. Use these free tools to protect yourself:

I prefer Avast, but AVG is just as great.

AVG AntiVirus

If you are currently having a problem:

鈼?Download and install AVG. Use it first and see if it finds any viruses or trojans.
