Building and Maintaining an organisations IT security is not just a matter of installing and maintaining Antivirus software.  The IT security risks are changing. Spyware and Malware are the new threats, so a new strategy, new systems, skills and training are required. 

"Spyware has surpassed viruses as the number one threat facing the computer today. In fact, most estimates report that 90 percent of computers already have been infiltrated by spyware." Source: TechNewsWorld, March 19, 2004

"As it turns out, one-third of Internet users have been similarly afflicted, according to a recent survey by Consumer Reports. "Spyware, without question, is on an exponential rise over the last six months," says Alfred Huger, senior director of engineering with Symantec Security Response (SYMC), the maker of Norton security software. Microsoft (MSFT) reports that spyware was the cause of one-third of all computer crashes in the past year."
