But I get the gist of what was being said.
There is no way to stop it. You just have to invest in a good Adware/virus program...in fact maybe two or three and scan every day.
The adware and anti-virus programs will not stop the latest CWS or iSearch variants. If you get one, you'll know it because your browser will be hijacked.
General fyi: the Congress is currently debating between two bills designed to criminalize spyware/adware/malware and they should get something passed soon. Not nearly as soon as they should've, though!

The biggest prevention is Firefox. The next is spyware blaster. The last is an ad remover as some infections come in that way. I use Ad-Muncher and I've tried them all. http://www.admuncher.com
Try it for 30 days for free. I bought two copies, worth every penny.
