My sister keeps installing spyware

She keeps installing spyware by browsing sites with Internet Exploder, and downloading it with Kazaa. I just disabled ActiveX, but this is getting annoying since I have a tiny hard drive, and don't want a clogged registry. Fortunately I use mozilla, so the IE oriented spyware doesn't work right , but still the crapware gets loaded anyways. I just deleted it with ad-aware, but my sister probably is going to reinstall it anyways.

Win2K man, only give her restricted user rights and she can't install jack shit.

Linux works as well.

And if she insists using Kazaa, then why don't you download Kazaa Lite which works even better and doesn't include spyware.

I still need my windows box for games, and I can't duel boot on my good computer. I still have to get around to compiling some libraries to run the browser for my linux box. Do you have to install mozilla before running phoenix?
