I used IE7 today instead of my usual Firefox and sure enough I got virus warnings from AVG. Clicking Heal didn't work, so I clicked Move to Vault. Now reboot takes 10-15 minutes, something is wrong. I did a system restore to yesterday, but no help to boot time. Windows XP. Hijack This Log is as Follows.

After running spybot s&d, and ad-aware, and CCleaner, I rebooted and timed it. 9 minutes. Now in the systray it says Spybot-SD resident 60,295 processes blacklisted. I'll never use I.E. again. Junque!
I use IE, haven't had any infection in 5 years! I think it all depends on how well you maintain your system and you search habits. Don't click on advertisements. Don't open email attachments from unknown sources. Don't click on unknown links. Don't go to adult sites. Don't download unknown files.
