Nope, not that I know of.  But then again, I haven't gone looking for
anything like that myself.....

Maybe you could become his mini-Shinder.  

And as for the rest of you with a short fuse - Pbbbbbttttt! I will take my
vendattas to the mountain tops if I can prevent just one silly user from
clicking the @%$^#@* "yes" on every freakin' pop up that asks "Do you mind
if I install crap on your PC and use it as my personal playground?"

I appear to be stuck between a rock and a hard place.  GFI pretty much
relies on Active Directory, and authentication to do its magic.  Since we
are in a mixed environment (Windows, Macs, Linux) and still on NT 4 I can't
use authentication.  Everything is currently anonymous access.  I have
started seperating my network into IP ranges which will help by applying
rule sets per IP range.  I do have ISA 2004 now and am currently building my
rule sets and testing.  A nice shiny new 3Ghz server is certainly helping as
well.  Running 200 users and VPN on a Celeron 1.2ghz just wasn't cuttin' it.

I simply use Firefox for almost all my browsing these days.  The only time I
have to use I.E anymore is for my online banking and for our IP KVM.

Bottom line... Is there a plug-in, add-on for me to use in our environment
that will filter out the baddies?
