[dba-Tech] Enterprise Anti-Spyware tools

I use the family version of Spy Sweeper and find it pretty good.
http://www.webroot.com/
They do have business versions also.


I also tried Pest Patrol for a year or so, but find it not fully
compleet and not to user friendly, but maybe that changed. In several
cases I noticed that Pest Patrol did not scanned several spy's where Spy
sweeper did.
I read some articles saying that some spy detecting software does not
detect some spy soft if from a certain "spy manufactor". In this is true
I would believe, based on my experiances this is the case with pest
patrol.
Or they are not fast enough to discover new spy's. Either case not a
good thing.

There is some spy detection in version 8 of McAfee virusscan enterprise
but it is not actived by default.
I find it rather version 0.9 then version 8, so current I stick to Spy
sweeper.

Hi all
 
I'm fairly up on personal anti-spyware tools, but seeing a how I just
had a good "talking to" from my bosses about installing "unauthorised
software", I thought I'd better look into commercial enterprise level
products. I don't know of any of them, and a google search only really
came up with McAfee's one, which requires us to upgrade 80% of our
anti-virus products. That's no bad thing in terms of security, but in
terms of cost, I'm not sure that they're going to want to do that
straight away.
 
Anyway, I just wanted to know if anyone knew of any other commercial
applications, with a warranty/service department who can fix things
should anything go awry, or if anyone had any experience of enterprise
level apps like this.
 
 
Jon
