I have been using Spy Sweeper from webroot.com

It works like Norton AntiVirus, with updates available from their website.

Think it was about $50 and worth every penny.

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
