Re: IPS Blocking Spyware?

[Darren Rogers Mailing Lists <drlists () gmail com>]

The filters on the box today directly stop the communication *and*
installation of about a dozen core spyware apps, and the commo from
numerous others.  I say directly, because the client (in this case IE)
vulnerability filters (for example the recent IFRAME vuln) already
stop drive-by-downloads of hundreds of other adware/spyware apps by
unwitting and unpatched users.
