My advice is simple.
1. Install and use the alternative browser of your choice so you avoid the new pests.
2. Keep IE updated since it's your only easy way to use Windows Update.
Here, I have Mozilla, the laptop which doesn't do Email is Firefox'd (be sure to always have latest versions) and the kid's machines are also on Firefox. The default browser on all the machines is not IE.
