No it requires user decisions to get ye spyware on there. If you use IE..., if you love to click OK to every dialog box, if you love to install those funny screensavers, if you love to download random files using P2P.

The machines I see at work that are spyware infected are pretty much always laptops that no doubt got used at home by the kids.

Well said gibler, my sentiments exactly. :cool:

It also helps if you don't use Outlook Express and don't install all those cute emoticons and toolbars.
