[Mimedefang] OFF TOPIC - Need a product to block spyware

[Keith Patton]

We have been looking at websense to block them at our http proxy.  
Preliminary evaluations were impressive and our pc admins noticed a 
sharp drop in problems associated with spyware during our evaluation period.


otherwise you can look at something like spybot ( freeware ) and install 
it on each pc..

We are leaning toward the websense for the central management and lack 
of people required  to maintain/administer..

Hope this helps,

Keith
