We have been using this method for years in various iterations and it is surprisingly simple and effective! Steve Greenberg Thin Client Computing 34522 N.

Funny you mention this - we use the deepfreeze program with clients in education, some automotive & any open public pc. Deepfreeze after reboot - will put system back to the state it was prior to freezing. Anything that is done to the pc (spyware, virus, user changes etc) are reset after reboot. Works great - never have to touch those PC's for years. They are even running old OS's patch levels before XPsp1 - no need to update. Kind of makes us look too good - for we never hear back from them for support unless hardware fails (hehe).

Perhaps a better solution is something that resets the whole system drive to a pre-infected state. I would recommend First Defense ISR by LeapFrog software. This allows you to boot back to a capture snapshot of the system at will. You can even schedule the creation of the snapshot, or, simply have the system drive restored to the known good image at each boot... Steve Greenberg Thin Client Computing 34522 N.

Spyware / Trojans have been a major issue for me. I recently had some kind of pop up add that I could not remove with ad aware, spybot, spycop, or any virus scanner. Ended up using "hijackthis" and found it was attached to IE at startup but of course it wasn't in any of the normal startup registry places. If you know you have a infected PC give "hijackthis" a try...seach on google and you should find it (can't recall where I found it).

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. --Brian Claus -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Roger Wright Sent: Monday, June 21, 2004 4:23 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: OT: New spyware program? 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.

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. http://www.majorgeeks.com/review.php?id=21 http://www.techsupportalert.com/trojan%20reviews/pest-patrol.htm http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1524257,00.asp PestPatrol 5.0 Corporate Edition has just been released and offers a central console to manage implementation and auto-installation in a network environment.
