All good Security techniques are usually initiated by Computer Science researchers - the EU piece of cool software and rest of the other "commercial" infosec tools/technologies are mere marketing buzzwords most of the times - At this point I think the question that is equally important is: "Have Computer Security Researchers explored the ins-and-outs of the Spyware software enough?" Personally, I don't see enough "know-thy-enemy" kind of research yet!
