Corporate PCs 'riddled with spyware'

The Register runs quite an interesting story about corporate PC systems that are invested with spyware. It is clear from studies before that home users are exposed with some of them having an extraordinary amount of spyware on their system.

This was clear - what wasn't clear is that corporate networks are also affected - "Companies voluntarily using Webroot's Corporate SpyAudit tool had an average of 20 nasties per PC. Most of the items found were harmless cookies. But an average five per cent of the PCs scanned had system monitors and 5.5 per cent had Trojan horse programs." Woops - and this despite the fact that people assume that there antispyware programs work successfully.

But it might not be clear for many users that it is better to use more than one software program to get rid of spyware and not only depend on one only.
