Spyware gets onto your system when you run strange apps you find on the internet, accept incoming exe's or "dialers", visit dodgy sites etc.
The blame here lies with the user, primarily, and not with IE.

I partially agree with this. It *does* pay to be smart whilst browsing; However there are many sites you visit from searches for various reasons that running IE is like walking into a prison naked with a lipstick heart drawn on your ass. I do use IE for sites I can trust but anything I would worry about I switch to Firebird.if You MUST use IE all the time get the Proxomitron and set it up with it's various protections. Prox makes IE virtually indestructible.
