Another one to throw in the mix is Proximotron. It's a proxy between you and the web that is fully scriptable.

I dropped using Ad-Aware when I started using Spybot because it seemed more thorough. I also use Pest Patrol because it has a memory resident scanner that stops stuff from getting installed in the first place. I have my network setup using windows ICS as my dhcp server - along with NIS(Norton firewall plus NAV, add-blocking, personal info protection, intrusion detection, spam filtering and parentol controls. I also have user level security in place. Do you see any problems with that (other than the cost)?

Sygate, huh? I'll check that out when my licence for Zonealarm runs out :-) Oh, and I go through an ADSL router too, which is a dhcp server, and has limited protection too :-) Jon -----Original Message----- From: Francisco H Tapia [ mailto:my.lists at verizon.net <mailto:my.lists at verizon.net> ] Sent: 07 August 2003 17:40 To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues Subject: Fw: [dba-Tech] Pop-ups Jon, Why have ad-aware and spybot? IMNSHO, spybot catches all and does a better job at it w/o taking your pc hostage while it searches all avenues (registry, memory, and hdd). btw, I've found that sygate personal firewall is a more stable more secure firewall than zonealarm and it's still just as easy to use. Granted it doens't have all that AOL look and feel, but everything is very intuitive. btw, with all the security you've got you never once mentioned that you surf via proxy ;o) -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com <http://rcm.netfirms.com> On Thursday, August 07, 2003 8:32 AM [GMT-8], Jon Tydda <Jon.Tydda at alcontrol.co.uk> wrote: : :: I've got a combination of stuff - pop up stopper sthat permanently :: stops the persistent pop up IE windows, Zonealarm and McAfee Security :: Centre that filter out banner ads etc, and spybot that blocks :: downloads and installs of spyware, and ad-aware to clean it up :: afterwards. :: :: Not very paranoid at all, as you can tell :-) :: :: :: Jon :: :: -----Original Message----- :: From: Keith Williamson [ mailto:kwilliam at ashlandnet.com <mailto:kwilliam at ashlandnet.com> ] :: Sent: 07 August 2003 15:39 :: To: dba-ot at databaseadvisors.com :: Subject: RE: [dba-OT] Pop-ups :: :: :: I'll throw my hat in for pop-up manager.
