Combined with a good anti virus package (i know everyone uses Norton or something, but my recommadation goes to AVG which is shareware and does not need to be cracked like Norton)<BR/><BR/>Try out this combination of modified settings of IE with ZoneAlarm, MS Antispyware and AVG , you should not face any problems with IE.<BR/><BR/>(BTW spyware makers are targetting Mozilla too and mozilla will also face what IE is facing within 3-4 years..
