This tip is for system admins. If you're worried about novice computer users downloading spyware and other nuisances onto their machines, why not disable that ability altogether?
Simply load up you Internet Options, then select the Security Tab and click on the Internet icon. From there click the Custom Level button, and that will open up a new Security Settings Window. Now scroll down to the Downloads section, and under File download check the Disable radio box. Click the Ok button, that will prompt you about changing security settings and press Ok again once you get to the Internet Properties window.
When the user tries to download files in the future, Windows will pop up an error message stating that feature has been disabled.
