I het at least one call/week from folks who've infested themselves with scareware or other malware by clicking on popups while browsing with IE 6 or even 7. Every time I get one of these calls, I remind them that I installed both Firefox and Opera on their computers in the past for a reason: so they'd have a choice of browsers that are less affected by these sorts of things (in fact, I have yet to see any of those popups on any of the computers--host or VM--I browse with Opera on). I dunno... it just seems like people <i>like</i> giving me money... :-) Preaching to the Choir, Richard.
