Most of my computer clients are average home users. Out of those, the ones I've persuaded to switch over to a non-IE browser have 5-10% as many problems with spyware/viruses/worms/Trojans as the ones who still use IE and OE. That's real-life, in-the-field, hands-on confirmation.
Of course everyone can make their own choice, but people who use IE/OE do have more problems, from what I've seen. Other folks I know who work on 'puters say the same thing. There are exceptions, sure, but I'm talking across the board.

I'm following your leads, guys, and just downloaded Sygate's firewall, so will see what happens, or doesn't, I should say. I do have Spybot already, which is a free service to search and destroy Adware. It seems to do good with every invasive adware but one.

Spybot's good, Restin, and another one to use is Ad-aware, free at http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/One will many times catch stuff the other one leaves behind. Both are free, so why not.

John,
They do not have adware or spyware of their own to be concerned about?

If they did I wouldn't recommend them! (it's my job to stay up on such stuff y'know)
