I am going to second the suggestion for Firefox. I have been using it since June, and have not seen one thing of spyware since (except the time my brother's friend got on my computer and used Internet Explorer for 15 minutes).
I really like the tabbed browsing and extensions available in Firefox.

I haven't tried it. I used it on my Linux machine but the forum CSS was all screwed up.

I prefer Mozilla Firefox for many of the features it has, but it does have problems sometimes on some web sites that are designed for IE. I used to run into the same problem when using Netscape a couple years ago, so I will use IE when necessary. They are improving firefox all the time so I guess I should check for updates.....

This site is a little messed up on Firefox, at least for me. The buttons at the top are all on top of the title picture of that gondola wherever it is. The links that say what topic you're in are covered up by it. But that doesn't matter, I haven't had any pop-ups since I started using it a few days ago

When we upgraded to the new board, Invision wasn't using the same forum header code as before so I just copied the old invision script that I saved from the past forum and pasted it in there. But before I did that, I looked on how to insert an image and couldn't find anything so maybe Invision left it out or didn't want the owner of the board to modify its logo.

Companies and others that secretly install "spyware" programs
on people's computers to quietly monitor their Internet activities would face hefty federal fines under a bill the House passed Tuesday. The most egregious behaviors ascribed to the category of such software — secretly recording a person's computer keystrokes or mouse clicks — are already illegal under U.S. wiretap and consumer protection laws.
The House proposal, known as the "Spy Act," adds civil penalties over what has emerged as an extraordinary frustration for Internet users, whose infected computers often turn sluggish and perform unexpectedly. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Mary Bono, R-Calif., provides guidelines for technology companies that distribute software capable of most types of electronic monitoring. It requires that consumers explicitly choose to install such software and agree to the information being collected.
