The only real way is for software companies to take the time to secure their program's more. That is just the very short answer, big pain, will not happen any time soon, so perhaps the solution is more on the user end then? Firewalls, Spyware removers, not using programs like IE that have a ton of problems, ect. Then again perhaps i'm wrong eh? Problem is alot of users dont do those things, or they dont use them enough to keep up to date, really major companies such as Microsoft should come out with a free aplications that do what their OS's don't. Which is keep the computers running securly. Really how much one OS cost from them it shouldn't be a huge deal for them to have a updated spyware/spybot program, or antivirus though most likely you would want to use thiers as a secondary AV, still it should, and could be done by them to help most people out I believe.
