When I still used Windows, I *never* installed software from general
download sites (eg: CNet, Softpedia, PCWorld etc). I *always* downloaded
any Windows software directly from the maker's website. This at least
reduced chances of adware, spyware etc.

But now I only use FreeBSD and 99.9% of the software I use is all open
source and compiled by myself. So the problem of spyware or adware is
moot here. ;-)
