An advantage to running a desktop OS with less than 2% market share. And if you're worried, just reload the IceWM or, better yet, reboot. Rebooting is probably not a bad idea anyway if you are going to initiate an online banking or securities trading session.

And Debian won't include the Adobe Flash Player or Reader as they're proprietary.
