Not sure what version you are but the scan for Spyware box is not chosen by default. You need to turn that on. I've been running a weekly scan on all of our workstations on the network and it finds Adware, spyware and trojans every time to clean up. The ones it can't clean or delete require a visit with more tools(or manual delete actions) to clean them up.

Jim,

I use Trend OfficeScan (on 2003 SBS), but it never has found anything.  Has
it for you?

The usual suspects (Ad-Aware, Spy-Bot) find tracking cookies, but no real
malware - maybe that's why...

I know this topic has been discussed a lot lately, but I have questions about it no one has asked yet!

I've started demo-ing PestPatrol's corporate edition software. I like all of it's features and it seems like it would work, but there is a problem. I tried to do a "Specific path" scan of my Citrix user's roaming profiles. It didn't find ANY spyware. Odd, because AdAware's free version found nearly 300 instances of malware! I thought maybe I wasn't typing the path how it was needed, so I scanned "all drives" and it still didn't find anything in my roaming profiles!

Anyone have any suggestions either for PestPatrol to get it to find all the problems, OR for a different corporate anti-spyware software that has the cool features of PestPatrol (scheduled scans, scanning network PC's without the users knowledge, etc) but that does actually find the malware in roaming profiles in a specific area?

Thanks!
