This isn't required by the site. I suggest you run a thorough spyware and antivirus check again. And stop using IE for anything as far as possible.
I would like to point your attention to "such as".
This is a wild guess but I remember my MSIE to rely on external plug-ins to display png files properly. This would fit under the MSIE-question above.
Oops, you and Brion Vibber seem to be right! Again Bill Gates pulled one over on me...
Brion: As regards installing other browsers: I have always been a big Netscape fan, but when MSIE had won the browser battle (for the time being) I stopped torturing myself after a while and started using IE as the default browser under Windows. I have a lot of browsers installed under Windows (Mozilla, Netscape, Opera) and under Linux (KDE and Mozilla and probably more).
When I write code myself I try to make it as simple and cross-browser usable as possible but I don't like wasting time seeing sites other than intended just because the writers don't use standards.
And if I had the illusion that I could change the world by using a more open source browser I certainly would...
