I agree with Matt with preferring Spybot Search and Destroy over Ad-aware
for a few reasons.
Spybot seems to issue updates more often, and running a test on a few known
spyware programs (i.e.. gator and comet) I found that Spybot found and
erased more files for both programs.

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!

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
