Sorry but i either use these or use Firefox as the browser to avoid all the
annoying cookies/spyware and viruses. Its been pretty effective.

I just hate the idea of cleaning up after the fact.. while you can stop these
nasty things from infecting your computer in the first place.


if you cannot switch the OS, atleast try to avoid IE as a browser..
most of your issues will be resolved.
And also avoid Outlook.
