The real problem is the security holes in Windows and Internet Explorer.
For anyone who REALLY wants to end their spyware, adware, malware, popup, browser hijack problems needs to look into alternative methods of browsing.
Personally I use the Opera browser. It's got some great new features thaT IE doesn't have and it's about 1000x more secure and is updated often. It's got built in popup blocking and it has tabbed browsing, it keeps all the open pages inside one application. Now you don't have to have 10-20 instances of Internet Explorer open when doing research.
Another major alternative to IE is Firefox, which I hear has a more friendly interface than Opera... I would use it except it lacks support for Java which is nice to have.

Firefox has Java support when you install the Java plug-in for it
That said, there are many threads out there about what browser is the best. It all comes down to a matter of personal opinion, but at least the threads out here can help you/give you your options.
Here is a good thread on it.
