Err, I've been using XP and IE since they came out and I don't have spyware or viruses or any other malware.

I run the appropriate tools - simple!

As for Firefox, only a matter of time before it becomes a big enough target for attack.

Blaming Microsoft for everything fixes nothing. All major software, yes (yawns), even Linux has bugs and vulnerabilities. As long as IE has the majority share, it will be the target. If that changes, then so will the target.
