    I prefer Spybot http://www.safer-networking.org/

    Seems to get more stuff out, and does a better job of it.

    And it's free!

    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
