RE: more fucking ad ware.
Like Underlord said, just set your browser security properly.
If if you don't have any kind of virusscanner/anti-adware scanners/popup blocker, etc... and only have SP1 and only use MSIE, even then you will not get any adware/spyware installed automatically if you configure your browser properly (like do not automatically accept/install activex controls)...
And the things that take advantage of security leaks, that's why there is www.windowsupdate.com (and no, you even don't have to install SP2 for that, just the normal security fixes)
In short: update your windows and configure your browser properly before going on the net and above all use your common sense (like don't click on the popups "do you know your pc can be hacked? click here to...")...
