can one still get spyware autoinstalled if they have things like zonealarm, norton, high browser security settings ??
traveling a lot this year and in some cases using public computers, and private i've noticed that ALL yes all of them had homepages and search link changed, meaning they all has some kind of adware installed

I know for certain that Norton 2003 and 2004 have script protection and do a pretty good job of stopping auto-installs.
You also take out 99% of them by simply disabling ActiveX. If you have sites you use that HAVE to have it, make it available only to trusted sites and define those sites as trusted.
If you use a browser other than MSIE, you're also unlikely to get bitten.
As for cybercafes and such, the better ones use Ghost (or similar) and wipe their machines and clean install overnight every night.
