Vick, there is money in making a "browser help object" manager, something that can pop up before a new BHO is installed and say "hey, do you want to install what is probably a piece of shit spyware?" Something that checks things like the hosts file, the DNS servers being used, etc, and points on when they are being changed from the originals to keep people on the straight and narrow.
I think there might also be a market in creating false files that make the spyware people think their shit is already installed, so they won't install it again.
Looking at how fast (in political terms) the US house and senate are coming to terms with this, I think this has made top of mind awareness all over, which makes it a very short lived situation.
