What you need is some tool which monitors LSPs and all IE plugins on all
your computers.  This can be done remotely just by reading registry
entries...I am sure there is some automated tool for administrators like
that...

Oh no, I agree it's a good thing, but during a transition from one
firewall to another, it just looks bad to the end user, as I have to
keep explaining why its actually better that the browser is not working.
I wondered if anyone with this experience could help in that regard.
What I plan on doing is putting a FAQ out on our intranet today on
spyware in general and this issue in particular and using this as an
impetus for mgmt to fund my corporate anti-spyware initiative. Also I'm
going to put out a GPO to lock down IE more (which will mean more
bit...I mean, user comments, I'm sure).

Tx.
Greg.

Hi Greg,

So let me get this straight. The ISA firewall is making it difficult for
the spyware to phone home and that's bad?

Thanks!
Tom

Hey, we are transitioning a part of my company off of an old Checkpoint
firewall and onto ISA. As we do this, spyware seems to cause many more
problems with the people using ISA. Not in terms of getting it, but
those who have it often have it stop them from browsing the Internet
until we can get it cleaned off. Is there anything I can do to make ISA
'forgiving' enough so that this won't cause such a headache? Any advice
is appreciated.

Tx.
Greg.
