Now, Spyware can be installed on IE by Alternative Browsers
Spyware authors have found a way to infect IE even when the user uses an alternative browser.

The funny thing is, the company that announced it say that it didn't work with Opera, only Firefox. Mozilla org don't deny Firefox will do it, but say that in their own test, it did work in Opera.

However, I suspect it will work in Opera, as they both use the same Java Virtual machine.

I would like to take this opportunity to remind people never to install any software that they are not sure of (even if it is digitally signed).
