Re: Tools for checking for presence of adware remotely

Does anyone out there know of any tools available to
probe network workstations for the presence of
adware/spyware?

Sure...Perl scripts.  As a security admin in an FTE
position, I had scripts that checked all systems
within the domain for entries in the ubiquitous 'Run'
key, as well as for BHOs.  Easy stuff, pretty trivial, actually.
