SPAM Firewall 300, they didn't have an anti-spyware unit when I ordered the anti-SPAM unit.
I like the Barracuda, however this line from their site is absolutely not true in my experience: "eliminating spam and virus from your organization". I suspect the anti-spyware unit will be helpful, but it will NOT "completely eliminates spyware and other forms of malware from your organization." Nothing will. Eliminating spyware in a company connected to the Internet is as hopeless as trying to kill all the cockroaches in a big old apartment building.

Mike, which Barracuda unit do you have? I am sure you are aware that they make a unit for Spam, and a unit for Spyware. Just curious as the Barracuda looks promising. Thanks!
