CATIII, while I agree with the sentiment that add-ons are a potential hazard I think you're taking that concern too far. Windows lacks a whole lot of functionality out of the box that you need to install extra software to achieve and is fairly useless until you do.
One little carefully chosen utility to significantly enhance the usability of the GUI isn't adding much to the threat level. We're not talking multiple browser toolbars here.
If Clippy were an animal I'd have been done by the animal welfare people for extreme cruelty. Clippy needed to be punched in the face, smashed against the wall, set on fire and bent into weird shapes.
