Mattee,
        You're on the right track with snort+ossec+prelude. You can enable IPS
capabilities by installing snortsam into your firewall. I've done some
testing with that type of configuration and honestly, when its tuned
well it works better than much of the commercial bloat-ware. Have you
configured OSSEC to only allow certain key processes to run?

Hi!

Many security platforms have ability to filter HTTP traffic. They can
block ActiveX, access to black-listed sites, check files for
antiviruses. All big vendors provide this functionality. Cisco,
checkpoint, bluecoat... 100% sure it is possible to combine open
source tools, self-written scripts and achieve a similar capabilities
from squid.
