RE: Need help on Spyware

["George Peek" <george.peek () vegas com>]

What OS are you running on your network? If it is Windows 2000/2003, is this in a domain enviornment? If so, you can 
possibly use GPO (Group Policy Objects) to push the software out to the computers part of that domain(s). You can 
create an MSI package and deploy products such as Spybot S&D. I would contact the developers of the product and see if 
there is a better way.

Hope this helps.

Does anyone know of a centrally managed system to distribute Spyware
detection software? This is becoming an increasingly visible issue with
a number of customers.

I've run into a couple of hacks to distribute Spybot, but am looking for
more of a central management, such as Symantec's Control Console.
