Thanks,

I seriously think this is something worth looking into.  It is probably our
#1 or #2 issue right now.  It  can take up to a few hours to clean a system
from all the crap these (*&#$@(*& install.  It is extremely prevelent on
home PC's along with all the spyware.  I am also working with the local
school district to find a solution for their systems as well.  They are
having a hell of a time keeping their machines clean.

Hi Ray,

That's a good question. I haven't researched yet what methods are used to
installed scumware on user's computers. I'm sure a variety of methods are
used. I plan to do this if/when I update the application layer filtering kit
to version ISA 2004. I sure its as easy as blocking extensions and content
types, but the devil is always in the details.

Spybot is a desktop solution.  I am looking for a gateway solution to work
in conjunction with ISA.

Hi Ray,
Someone on this list once pointed me to a freeware version of a program
called spybot.  It is a great program for scanning and protecting against
browser hijacking So, I gave the kid a donation.

Hi,

I hope you guys know this product better than GFI's sales people.  I called
and I was not very impressed with the pre-sales knowledge.

We are getting clobbered with browser hijackers.  Does GFI Download Security
kill these buggers?  Or do I need to install AdAware on every PC in the
company?

I have downloaded the trial version, but was hopping for some anecdotal
information from the crowd before I plunk down $1,000+.

Thanks in advance.
