Warning popup.
Installing 47 third party browsers isn't going to stop a fool from clicking things
they shouldn't be clicking. You don't need to install anything just pay attention
to the Security Warning popups when they occur. M$ put the Security Warning
popup within IE to warn you when a site is trying to install something on you.
Just click "No" like your suppose to do and you'll avoid any virus like that and spyware.

It IS possible to install anything on the victims computer without any popups. There are even exploits out there that work on a fully patched system.
