kmself, I have to say, usually when somebody posts a link to their stuff it's not that great, but your article fits with my experience almost perfectly. Where I have full control spyware infections are much lower. And where adults are using the boxes, they will always have spyware on them each time I run system cleanups, which I do once or twice a year. But it's always within reason.

One thing I didn't see mentioned, I've found one and only one av product that actually is able to withstand the full frontal attack on security created by some users, the ones who WILL click on all attachments for example no matter how many times you tell them not to: nod32 is the only antivirus product that has protected my boxes 100%, zero virus infections over the years. Normally I don't like recommending commercial products, but if you must maintain a windows network, and if you use commercial av solutions, nod32 is very good. The best I've ever seen.

Your article was definitely a real world view of the spyware windows issues, I also liked your comments on adware simply being a logical extension of commercial software. All makes great sense, thanks for linking to that.
