Everything you require can be found at Google. As you observed, ClamAV
is
not in the spyware detection business.

No it can't because I've spent the past two days searching Google going
through thousands of results.
Google has told you what you need - the tool you are after does not exist.

Thank you but I already know the tool doesn't exist or I wouldn't be
wandering around this forum. Since the tool doesn't exist, I found the
_closest_ possible tool to the tool I am looking for and ClamAV happens
to be that tool. You should be proud that your tool is just shy of
being able to do something system administrators around the world want
to be able to do. Imagine the joy a sysadmin could experience by being
able to remotely scan a thousand plus machines on the LAN, and, in a
matter of 30 minutes, know which ones have spyware or have a virus
installed all from one tool. Now I know this isn't what ClamAV was
designed for, but that's the sort of thing you have to expect from
software and users - the unexpected but creative uses for a product.
Given that it should only take a week or two to gather signatures from
the various spyware vendor binaries, I don't see why you all are so
adamant about not adding rudimentary detection. To me, spyware is a
virus. The only difference is that it wreaks havoc on the human psyche
instead of wreaking havoc on binary data.
