Well, it is a "last resort"
You would be better off trying one of these workarounds:

1. Use an alternate browser: http://www.mozilla.com http://www.opera.com

2. Disable Active Scripting: http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/?p=178

3. Or don't log in as Administrator.

4. Use hardware-enforced DEP(http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/?p=178) if you have it.

I would recommend using an alternate browser, but feel free to try the others if you think they're more viable.
