If you're using McAfee, they have an anti-spyware plugin that should cost
you almost nothing and work with your exising ePolicy Orchestrator setup, on
the desktop.
For a gateway appliance, I'd definately look at deploying a Fortigate for
it's multilayer defense including spyware protection. But really you should
consider both methods -- gateway *and* desktop. They bolster each other
that way.
