You don't need to get Firefox. Try out Lavasoft AdAware, its decent.
IE6SP2 (XP SP2) has a built in method for preventing this kind of hijack. Forced ActiveX installation isn't cool. If you're using XP, get SP2. If not, seriously consider upgrading.
If you want to continue using IE, consider getting DropMyRights from MSDN, it uses a program to prevent IE from running as admin if you are running as admin (a serious no no)

The two will hover, spinning inches above the ground. With a giant buttered cat array, a high-speed monorail could easily link New York with Chicago.
