Adaware is *not* free, nor donation. It is a commercial product which
consumers are allowed to use for home use for free. Companies should pay
(including academics), starting at $26.95.

At the desktop, our standard deployment of apps is spybot S&D, ad aware
and now testing spywareblaster. All are free or donation types. Spbot
& Ad aware are the best in my view. Viruses are simple nowadays -
spyware is the virus of old - a real PITA. You are right, we need the
tools to handle all facets of the network.

I actually wasn't referring to this for a Citrix solution...just for
general desktop deployment to my clients. I think either AV companies
need to step up big time against Spyware or it's only a matter of time
till we're all running AV and anti-Spyware agents on all systems.
Trend is starting to do this but the detection and cleaning of Spyware
leaves much to be desired. (Trend is still my #1 recommendation for AV
though)
Interesting idea though about mapping the admin share and scanning
remotely.

Not sure... I don't run it on my Citrix server. You might want to
contact the vendor (www.sunbelt-software.com or www.pestpatrol.com) to
inquire about specifics in a TS/Citrix environment.
What I HAVE done is map a drive to the admin share on the Citrix server
and run the program from another machine. It identifies and removes the
tracking cookies for multiple users.

Does this program install and protect all user accounts on a termserver
in live autoprotect?

I've used PestPatrol for a couple years now. I think it compliments
Spybot or AdAware. None of these programs are 100% effective 100% of
the time.

PestPatrol 5.0 Corporate Edition has just been released and offers a
central console to manage implementation and auto-installation in a
network environment. It looks very capable.

Anyone hear of www.pestpatrol.com
I'm looking for feedback on this software if anyone has used it.
Specifically, I'm looking for comparisons to AdAware and Spybot.
