To help computer users to fight and protect the computers from spyware, a lot of anti-spyware and spyware removal utilities have emerged, which each has their own functionalities, advantages, detection rate, removal success rate and etc, thus making selection of which anti spyware tools to use a tedious process, especially for corporate network.
NetworkWorld tested, reviewed and compared 18 corporate spyware prevention and detection products, and spyware removal tools, which include Aladdin Knowledge Systems’ eSafe Version 5, Blue Coat Systems’ Spyware Interceptor, Computer Associates’ eTrust PestPatrol Corporate Edition v5, Fortinet’s FortiClient Host Security 2.0, FSecure’s Anti-Virus Client Security 6.0, Lavasoft AB’s Ad-Aware Professional, McAfee’s Anti-Spyware Enterprise 8.0i and Secure Content Management Appliance 4.0 (Secure Web Gateway model 3300), Panda Software’s EnterpriSecure with TruPrevent Technology, Ashanti PLC LTD’s Spyware Defense V1.3, Sunbelt Software’s CounterSpy Enterprise Version 1.5, SurfControl’s Enterprise Threat Shield, Tangent’s Packet Hawk Version 2.0, Omniquad’s Omniquad AntiSpy Enterprise Version 3.3, Trend Micro’s InterScan Anti-Spyware Suite and OfficeScan Anti-Spyware Suite, Webroot Software’s Spy Sweeper Enterprise 2.1 and Websense’s WebSense Web Security Suite-Lockdown Edition.
