Spyware for me.
Only because it's my job to get rid of it.
And our mail svr's block most spam.

Spam. I don't have to worry about spyware. :)

Edit >> and spam is minimal since my ISP has a great spam blocker.

spyware, harder to get rid of usually.
spam is easy to identify and get rid of.

i use IHateSpam by Sunbeltsoftware but it doesn't seem to work well. I'm not sure how it works, because i can tell it that something is spam, but i still get the same emails. other times i tell it something is spam and everything that comes in like that gets put in spam quarantine.

maybe i didn't set it up right or something?

I only have spam to deal with... but it's obvious spyware is a much bigger and serious problem.

spyware - all it takes is one person to make a 1 second mistake on your computer, and you're doomed.

If I was the only user, ever, on my computer, I wouldn't care - neither is a problem to me, personally.

Currently it's Spyware. It used to be spam, but we upgraded to a new appliance that does a good job killing most of the spam.
