How do you deal with Spyware?

[sysadmin123]

I have a network of about 33 stations and currently we run Pest Patrol for our spyware solution which is now owned by Computer Associates.

It's renewal time and I didn't know if anyone else had other anti spyware suites they were using in their comporate environments and if you like what you use.

I like Pest Patrol but some things about how the software runs is just kind of annoying and cheap to me.

Most companies i've done work for seem to use apps like ad-aware, spybot s&d, spyware guard, spyblaster; and in most cases a combination of all of them. They seem to be effective as i'm rarely ever required to deal with spyware related problems.

I guess another consideration is how well your user rights are locked down. Sound internal security is the bedrock of a virus and spyware clean infrastructure!

I've found the best way is to remove users admin rights.
