Spyware following spam into the enterprise

When spam first started showing up on the technology radar as a problem, it was mostly a problem for consumers and individuals whose personal data (especially e-mail addresses) was easy pickings for spammers building databases.  But it wasn't long before corporate e-mail systems were overwhelmed as well.  Now, spyware is apparently following in spam footsteps.  In fact, just like spam, spyware has already earned itself a workshop at the Federal Trade Commission that was dedicated to the problem--a rare and dubious "honor." Now, security software vendors are responding in kind with anti-spyware solutions that target businesses and enterprises.
