The Challenges of

Controlling Spyware

Companies of all sizes face increasing

threats from spyware, which can include

hack

er t

ools, other non-viral malicious

code programs and annoying pests like

adware. Spyware does more than just

eal inf

ormation about your organization’s

computing habits. It robs a system of

speed and Internet efficiency. These

thr

eats are rapidly proliferating and

represent major security and privacy

risks to organizations worldwide.

Controlling spyware in a networked

business environment can be a difficult

task. While all viruses seek to cause

harm, spyware ranges from annoying

pests like adware to sophisticated

backdoor hacker tools that can cause

serious security problems.

Spyware also causes internal productivity

issues. For example, a single computer

compromised by as few as two adware

applications could take more than 14

minutes to boot. Assuming that your

employees reboot their computers daily

and work five days a week for 50 weeks,

every employee with a compromised

computer could lose nearly 60 hours

a year simply waiting for his or her

computer to start.
