....and those business critical apps are?
Have you tried hacking up the registry to get them to work?

Chris,
I guess I have three "comments" on this:-
1) Putting user in "Power users" does "cut down on the potential",
however even on a properly configured machine users can usually
install personal browser extensions containing SpyWare.
2) Spy ware hangs around for a long time. Our users used to have admin
rights so there is a lot of "legacy" spyware around
3) We still have business critical applications that won't run without
admin rights. Often these are tightly integrated in a large suite of
applications, e.g. the Call Centre management suit, so we still have
some machines where users have admin rights. I know this sucks but
there is certainly no cash available to replace these apps....
Dave.

I have not done a lot of research on this, but if you have users in
either the power users or regular users group, won’t that cut down
tremendously on the potential of getting adware/spyware?

We're using CounterSpy Enterprise from Sunbelt Software. Like you, we
have seen aperformance hit* on computers with just 128 meg of memory
but that goes away when we add more memory. The only issue I ran into,
other than performance, was it blocked a cookie that was necessary for
our payroll department. However, once I "okayed" that cookie, it was
fine.
*According to Sunbelt, the next version is supposed to reduce the
performance impact.

Just curious what other people are using for protecting against
adware/spyware? We are using Webroot Spysweeper right now, but I
see some performance hits on computers running this software and
it does work, but it causes headaches will installing some apps
that we approve. Any suggestions are appreciated.
