That's not going to protect them from adware and spyware installed by file sharing apps, gambling software and online games. I *believe* these are far more common sources, but I've never seen any statistics. As an ISP and computer sales/repair shop, we've been recommending Firefox as an alternative and installing it on customers computers. However, it doesn't seem to protect them from themselves.
