Spyware programs generally come because the user clicks on things and
permits them to be installed. They very rarely fly in out of nowhere. The
only way to help prevent this from happening is a combination of 'safe
surfing' and using software to detect and clean these programs out. I don't
see how a hardware solution would be practical.
