The corporatization of Spyware Spyware is not just a kid his bedroom exploiting easy Windows holes anymore: benedelman.org Those are pretty big chunks of money. Trojans exploit Windows DRM loophole theregister.co.uk File traders are going to be feeling it too. These guys tend to be more computer savvy than your average user. As they suffer from viruses and spyware embedded into media files they are going to start switching too. Another thing, I think few people have considered is how band width affects virus and spyware replication.
