Why would anyone *not* want to clean out spyware, whether they are installing an OS service pack or not? I still cannot fathom why anyone with any technical knowledge at all would still be using Internet Explorer for anything at all -- it's a terrible program in terms of security, compatibility with standards and usability. It has been vastly surpassed by every other browser available, none of which have even 10% of the dangerous exploits as it. Why anyone would put up with pop-ups (or use a browser that requires add-on software to prevent pop-ups) I can't imagine, especially with all the publicity the alternative browsers have been getting. I have *no* spyware on my PC because I don't use software that is vulnerable to it or that install it itself. Why is it that everyone is not wanting the same thing? -- David W.
