Apparently not... that's what I got the "talking to" about... It's because although Giant's version was "real", the MS one is a Beta version, and they weren't happy about it being on a server. Maybe when it's properly released, although I've been told not to install anything without asking in future... oh well :-) I've got Giant at home though, and I find it's really good, and I like the live update feature too. But you can set ad-aware and spybot to live update when they start up, although all three would require that a user account has internet access, and not all of ours do. That's one reason I was looking for an enterprise managed application rather than several standalone ones. Thanks though :-) Jon -----Original Message----- From: Rocky Smolin - Beach Access Software [mailto:bchacc at san.rr.com] Sent: 24 February 2005 16:11 To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Enterprise Anti-Spyware tools Jon: I'm using the beta version of Microsoft's (Giant's) AS. Seems to be OK. I also run Ad-Aware and SpyBot and they all seem to find different things. But the MS one live updates itself every day. Maybe since it's MS and, at the moment it's free, they might find that attractive.
