Too many companies are making good money from malware and as a result, it is an ever-present threat, which the industry as a whole is now coming to accept. In the corporate world, businesses need to react by increasing levels of protection and tightly control what people do on their corporate network.
Because it is often impossible to recognise Spyware, a way to get around it is to define what activities users can specifically do on their system and regulate anything else outside of this, for example, endpoint peripherals. Unfortunately, if you were to employ such a mentality on your PC at home, you would be restricted to a very small set of activities. Consequently, the home user market is destined for an eternity of malware infection, so should make regular efforts to scan their systems to ensure malware hasn’t taken hold. Information is invaluable; users in both corporate and consumer circles need to do their best to protect it.
