Is Mozilla able to install ActiveX controls under Windows, or is Moz
still insistent on the Netscape-style plugin architecture?  Most of the
spyware I've seen is dependent upon a user hitting "OK" to the standard
permission-to-install-ActiveX-control dialog.  It's the same process that
lets a user install Sun's JRE and Macromedia's Flash stuff.

But if the spyware is riding on a non-browser platform (e.g., Kazaa or
RealPlayer), then that's an entirely different set of issues.
