you have to allow the installation of an ActiveX dll. I accept them from known sources (e.g. the Windows Update app, and just today therealyellowpages now has every yellowpages book online - awesome) but alot of times when you do a google for something you wind up at a questionable site that asks 'do you want to install blah blah blah'. If your browser settings are wide open with no security, or if you foolishly click Yes, that's what happens. It should be avoidable without too much trouble.
Cookies and other "sticky" tracking strategies are another thing entirely because while you can set IE to ask everytime a site tries to set a cookie, it would make surfing the honest sites so painful you'd give it up for good. The site I work on uses a ton of cookies purely for making the user experience seamless and personalized, much like many sites.
Ad Aware or something like it is a must these days.
