Re: Anyone Deployed a Spyware Solution?

[Justin Dover <Dover () HARPETHHALL ORG>]

1.  Webroot Spysweeper Enterprise.
2. Very effective.  Cut help desk calls by atleast 40% last year.
3.  I think it was around $5-$8 a license, but renewal is much cheaper.
4. The client can slow things down a bit on older machines, but you can adjust how much of the CPU the client uses when 
it runs.  Great reporting tool, works extremely well.
5. If I had to do it over again I would still get Webroot.  They now offer a antivirus piece that works directly with 
the spyware that I am testing out this month.
