Most of the spyware and adware issues I have seen can all be traced to "free" software downloaded and purposely installed.

I have an Aunt who can't help but click on every damned link (i.e. 'Click Here - You've Won [insert crap here]) on the I'net. She has to call tech support every other damned day.
She won't listen to me, though.

AND clicking on one of those stupid emails that look interesting. My browser was hijacked 2 months ago. I researched and found the 2 files and deleted them. Only buy stuff from well-established places.
