Thanks Jon, I did it in the program where it says "ignore this forever". Twice and it didn't hold. I'll let it set it back and then follow your routine. Just oozing user friendliness... :-( Most Spyware programs are eventually going to find something that you don't personally consider spyware or don't care if it is - the option to ignore is kind of important then.

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 :-) Jon -----Original Message----- From: John Bartow [mailto:john at winhaven.net] Sent: 24 February 2005 16:16 To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: RE: [dba-Tech] Enterprise Anti-Spyware tools 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 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.

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.
