I only use IE for facebook because I was having trouble with it on firefox. I hate IE with a passion and won't use it for anything else. Even if there's a link on facebook I will copy the link and use firefox to open it.

Hmmm, I've used cnet.com for my downloads for years and never noticed any "cling ons"... can you be more specific like giving me some names to search for to see if they did inadvertently get on my computer?
