RE: Ad-aware

["McCleskey, David" <david.mccleskey () trelleborg com>]

I agree with Matt with preferring Spybot Search and Destroy over Ad-aware
for a few reasons.
Spybot seems to issue updates more often, and running a test on a few known
spyware programs (i.e.. gator and comet) I found that Spybot found and
erased more files for both programs.

I prefer Spybot http://www.safer-networking.org/

Seems to get more stuff out, and does a better job of it.

And it's free!

I have been tasked with identifying suitable anti-trojan-ware for 
workstations.  Ive been looking at AdAware.  Its free and seems to do
the 
job.  Im wondering what is the catch.?

Has anyone done a review of antitrojan sofrware?  Id like to know if
there 
is a suitable/cheap/supported product that we can use to compliment
sophos 
that will protect against malicious code, trojans, session hijacking and

other web nasties.


Thanks

Jack
