According to a CNET survey conducted in March 2005, enterprises place spyware among their top three concerns. Spyware causes major system slowdowns, higher support costs, lost productivity, and breaches in network security. Spyware infiltrates system registries and memory and installs hundreds of files and processes onto a client. Unfortunately, most spyware goes undetected by traditional antivirus scanners. Since the vast majority of spyware comes from the Internet, the Internet gateway is the best place to block inbound spyware as part of a layered defense. To fight spyware enterprise-wide, IT managers need integrated anti-spyware at the gateway and desktop layers supported by automatic, comprehensive clean up of resident spyware on local and remote machines.
