    you may also want to check out SpyBot/Search & Destroy at
    http://www.safer-networking.org/

    it's freeware, effective, nicely developed, updated consistently, easy
    to use, and was recommended on this mailing list as well.

    Subject: Ad-aware

    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
