We have been using this method for years in various iterations and it is
surprisingly simple and effective!

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...

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.

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.
