As a system admin- since I switched our users over to Firefox the number of problems with adware and spyware has greatly diminished. We were spending 15% of our resources on cleaning up computers every week. Since our users switched to firefox that has dropped to pretty much zero.

In fact since the switch I do not recall any of our IT staff having to deal with spyware, adware issues.
