Re: Down w/ spyware said by jmargel:
.. the only problem w/ ad-aware is that it doesnt do automated scans. I dont have the time to manually scan 200+ machines every week. And I shouldn't expect my users to as well.
You might want to take a look at Pest Patrol - available through Sunbelt Software ( »www.sunbelt-software.com/product.cfm?id=911 ) . It does have a memory-resident module that can flag Spyware when it attempts to install. After I emailed Stu (of the Win2k newsletter and Sunbelt), he added a feature comparison table with Ad-aware that helps assess performance. The only beef I have with Pest Patrol is that it continually flags my 16-bit and MS-DOS apps that use NTVDM.exe as containing the Wnuke4 pest. I've swept my system repeatedly with anti-virus software and my version of NTVDM.exe appears to be legit, so I feel this is a false alarm. Emails to Tech Support have gone unanswered. Other than that, I like the program.
