Microsoft's ISA server is a good example of an application layer proxy: http://www.microsoft.com/isaserver/ There are many ways to "block" spyware: * You can blacklist domains that are known for these spyware programs when they phone home. These, I'm sure, would change.. making a management nightmare. * You could use a Group Policy and deny running a list of .exe's known to belong to spyware. Again, things change, management nightmare. * There's always SpyBot and Ad-Aware. A decent way to protect against spyware.. but if you've got a lot of workstations under your umbrella, this method could prove to be prohibitive. * You could use a "Watchdog" type of card (http://www.cyic.com/watchdog.htm). There are many methods to deal with the plague that is spyware/adware. Those are just some of my ideas.

Are there any apps or templates one can deploy? How about Spyware Prevention? Block? at the gateway.
