Spyware Labs | Research

Spyware Labs is primarily a research company. We study spyware itself and the potential and actual impact of spyware on people, computers and industries. Our research is generally not packaged for sale. Instead, we provide advisory services to those who are trying to evaluate the impact of adware and spyware on their businesses. We have also recently begun commercializing our research in the form of products and services.

Although we study spyware as a technology, we also study the economics of how spyware is distributed to consumers and planted inside of corporations and government offices. Although this research is not currently available in product form, we have decided to provide certain key findings here in the research section of our web site. We are specifically starting to make available key findings for use by advertising networks, publishers and other online companies grappling with the impact of adware and spyware on their businesses and on their users.

It is our hope that by making these key findings public, we can help to educate management teams at major Internet companies who, in turn, can implement best practices that protect both their own businesses and consumers at the same time. Our researchers are also available to meet with management teams who are wrestling with these important and complex issues. Contact us at research@spywarelabs.com for availability.
