If IE wasn't integrated into the OS, though, you could dump it and reload it in response to spyware issues - and spyware issues wouldn't be so immediately system-wide pervasive.
I get so tired of trying to explain to people who say "and I even get pop-ups when I don't have IE open!" that, if their computer is booted at all - even in Safe Mode - then yup, they sure do have IE open. Sigh.
