Vkaryl, I'm not sure why running IE is presumed to open the floodgates of adware on your PC - I've surfed thousands of sites in IE but never unknowingly picked up adware or spyware. (I've chosen to install spyware occasionally, like the Google and Alexa toolbars, but that was a conscious decision after weighing the risks vs. benefits.)

As a webmaster, IMO, one has to view sites the way 90% of visitors will. That means running IE often, even if one prefers another browser for personal surfing.
