As I mentioned in my previous post, the major part of problems apply to Microsoft software only.
For instance, my linux suse 10.1 has no problems with potential spyware, malware or whatever. Even when I had the Win OS, I used the Opera browser which is much safer than MIE in general.
I have used to open any web page without being worried about potential malware even when I ran under Windows. But of course, I had a firewall and antivirus (I had to remind the name of such app right now!) installed on my PC.

With Linux you need a firewall only.
