Coming in a little late on this thread, but: Another nice little program to help, is called BugOff. http://tools.zerosrealm.com/bugoff.zip "BugOff: This little app disables three exploits that are commonly used by browser hijackers (including CWS), thus protecting you from infection. This does not remove an existing infection! Applicable to everyone that uses Internet Explorer."
Just run the program, and it disables quite a few settings that sites use to exploit your Internet Explorer. If you depend on the Windows Help files, this may not be the tool for you, but for those like myself that never use them, it helps close the holes in your IE. Unless you disable all Scripts, ActiveX, and a multitude of other items, there will never be any way to totally prevent ALL "nasties". And if you did disable them, would you really want to be online after that?
