heres an idea...FIX YOUR F*CKING BROWSER AND WE WOULDNT HAVE THESE SPYWARE PROBLEMS!!!!!!!
That won't do it.

Even with every possible technical precaution - and XP/SP2 goes a long way - there will still be users who will install anything if asked to. Until "idiot users" are addressed, spyware is going to be a fact of life.

Whether Microsoft's solution will be any good remains to be seen.
