There are many sources that can implement a virus onto the internet, but one thing is definite, someone or something must've uploaded the virus onto a public area of the Internet and the virus is intelligent enough to install itself to your computer (whether it was intentional or not). Most of the time, the virus has the ability to duplicate itself onto several webpages. Once it gets onto a computer, it can attempt to spread itself throughout the local network and/or through removable data storage (eg. flash drives).
Websites can get infected, if someone gets the password to handle the files there. Someone may replace content with infected one. But if you have a strong password on your management system, You wont get any viruses. And there will never be viruses if you dont get them there :)
