Can you run IE in a VM? This way, you can just make a copy of the
VM, run IE, then trash the copy.
I did that once when I first got XP installed on my Mac. I backed up
the VM, and then used IE to go to a warez site. Within two minutes I
had popups all over the place, and I couldn't even manually type in a
URL in the address bar. Rebooting and cleaning all the caches,
running A/V scans, etc., did nothing.
I trashed that VM, made another copy, and then went to the exact
same site using FF. Nothing happened. Guess that's why some people
like IE better: it does so much more!
