I really wish the mods would put a big ole stop to this 1st crap - grow up people we could care less if your so elite to be the 1st post!!:(
My antivirus has actually proven very well against spyware etc. Kaspersky has a good track record with spyware and with trojans. But it's still good to have some sort of backup protection that deals with just this type of threat - such as SpyBot Search and Destroy. A multi-layered approach to security is always best. But honestly some people just don't care or perceive that if they get infected it will cause them or anyone else harm.

A friend who does a lot of "home shopping" on the internet had a PC that was so overloaded with malware they were fighting each other for control of the mouse. It was a mess. But the parcels keep arriving, so it was difficult to explain why this was a Bad Thing. |

That's not a great solution. It would kind of make the web as we know it break down, you know?
We should be able to trust our browsers to provide a safe read-only experience. I know that IE users CAN'T at present, but still...
I do agree with you about the "download" part, though. One is responsible for whatever one specifically downloads and executes from a remote site, and in that case your rule applies.
