"I was testing html and launched IE yesterday. The damn PC downloaded something. Some aurora BS and when i tried to uninstall it I had to DL a uninstaller and guess what."
again, this would have been avoided if you had taken all the precautions i listed previously.
spyware can't install itself if you don't allow popups and make changes to your security settings in the IE Tools | Internet Options dialog box.
notice how IE has more security options available than any other browser. They just leave it open and less secure (for reasons i don't understand)
also, service pack 2 for XP solves a lot of spyware problems.
