I dont knowww, I dropped IE a couple of months ago because of the barrage of spyware popup ads and all the junk that somehow would find its way to my puter.

I run IE; keep anti virus, Google tool bar, Spybot and Zone Alarm updated.

Last three spyware scans have come up 100% clean.

If you have the basics covered, you actually have to give permission for the bugs to get in. I think that is what a lot of folks do, biting on any number of lures.

But I could be wrong.

You're correct. Some people click on every email attachment sent to them. Ugh.
