Unless you're so stupid you don't know how to configure your Windows platform to be immune to such things.

The situation is like this because 95% of all computers use Windows; if that OS was Linux instead of Windows, I guarantee many of the same problems would still exist.
Other OSes are safe only as long as they're perceived as l337 by the script kiddie h4x0rz.

This has nothing to do with the OS. Any software package could install extra stuff you're not seeing regardless of your OS. Spyware comes in all flavors. And the best anti-spyware is free anyway.
