Good Morning, We are working on how to better protect our campus community from spyware. Is this a major concern on other campuses as well? I see from reviewing higher education web pages regarding spyware that most suggest some sort of Spyware removal tool. (Our tool of choice is Spybot). Is anyone looking at how to prevent Spyware from being installed in the first place? Is this being discussed on your campuses? Are their concerns about spyware-type tactics being used in more damaging types of intrusions or attacks? -- -- Steve Brukbacher University of Wisconsin Milwaukee Information Security Coordinator UWM Computer Security Web Site www.security.uwm.edu Phone: 414.229.2224 Fax: 414.229.4087 Bolton 214, 3210 N.Maryland Av Milwaukee, WI 53211 ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Discussion Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
