[dba-Tech] Enterprise Anti-Spyware tools

If you go to the settings page of the MS one, you can disable the allow
alerts etc, and then go to explorer settings (within MS Giant) enter your
homepage once, it will never complain about that again. Took me a few hours
to get it all set up properly on my pc here, but it's all fine on them all
now :-)

Erwin,
I've been running it for years now. Version 4 had some update issues but
that was sporadic and I had dial-up at the time.  CA actually improved the
product over the original company. I now have no problems now with version
5.

Every couple of weeks I run SpySweeper, Spybot S&D, Adware, Xcleaner, and MS
anti-spy. The only thing that has come up lately that the PestPatrol real
time monitor has missed are cookies (and MS anti-spy continually commplains
if I change my home page/search page from their's).

I put PestPatrol and SpySweeper at the top of my SOHO list of anti-spyware
programs.

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.
