Hmmm. Sounds good! Anywhere out there on the net that has some papers on this (i.e. 
the information sent to which spyware program)?

Certain types of spyware can be caught using the "Worm-catcher" functionality. 
Specifically the type of spyware that reports back to its owner via HTTP.

By spending a couple of minutes analysing what URL the spyware agent sends it reports 
to, you can create a Worm Catcher url filter matching that request and thereby 
effectively stopping (and detecting) the presens of that particular type of spyware on 
your network.

Good luck,
