Default setting "kill bits" to prevent spyware
Found a site that has a .reg file that will set ActiveX kill bits to prevent the installation of spyware without interfering with the funtionality of IE (if you use it).

http://www.spywareguide.com/blockfile.php

The .reg file is updated frequently so you might want to bookmark the site.

Thanks for that. I added it to the downloads section, here. This will save me tons of time whenever I visit Astalavista security sites!

Spy/Ad-Ware is my biggest problem at work. I seem to spend more time fixing problems relating to it more than anything else. I haven't "acid" tested this fix yet but I'm considering setting up a test system just to see how good it really is.

I need to find sites that are bad for installing Spy/Ad-Ware first before I can start testing. Anyone know of any?
