Buy an anti-spyware company because they can't be bothered spending some of their $US multi billion dollar profits to make their browser more secure.

They'll probably charge for the anti-spyware software shortly after it's released as non-Beta software and then how long until they bundle it and put the cost of Windows up to cover the cost ? their non-beta software will probably be like WIndows and IE anyway - a neverending beta test !

Easiest solution if you want to use Windows: use Firefox + SpyBot +AdAware + high quality antirvirus program (Vet) - easy, free and much more secure and reliable than anything MS will be releasing !
