We are at the point with WindowsXX where so many of the backdoors
have been closed by M$ that all that is left for virii writers and spyware
injectors is a conformation from the user in some way. So you have to
click to get it, there is no other way.

If you have a link or other info that confirms there is some spyware/bho that
can get in WindowsXX without user confirmation then I would love to have that
and I will retract everything I said.
perhaps you are correct. perhaps what happens is the programs i've already installed continously download and install programs i've not given permission to install.

that and i keep my active x enabled. i know, big mistake.
