Me I'll just turn off ActiveX, run Norton update every day in the background and hide behind both my routers firewall and the one on my pc, and surf with the browser that works even if the page is coded kinda sloppy knowing that today might be the day.

The only real way to avoid most spyware, is to never hit 'yes' on any website, and never download any piece of software

It's more a case of being active and up-to-date with your virus and anti-spyware programs. Most spyware is much easier to remove than virus's, because they are consistant from system to system, they install in the same place and do the same thing, so eventually, the anti-spyware programs will get them. Virus's tend to manipulate themselves around your computers configuration and file structure, so they are much nastier, but ironically its alot easier to get spyware on your machine.
