Hmmm, some how I don't buy this.

If you exclusively use Firefox and not IE then you shouldn't have any links in IE

"
I open I.E. and start checking options - under "Allowed Popups" I have a listing of 27 links. All 27 turn out to be viral in nature - and because I.E. was allowing them, they couldn't be stopped because AVG/etc. didn't have full access to do so"

although Explorer is at the heart of the XP operating system if you don't use IE6 or 7 to access the web then how come you end up with the allowed popups list?
