This looks great Tim and Jeff. But I don't think we could include it in
unattended. From the original link that Tim sent:
"Important Notes
* These free blocklists are strictly for non-commercial, personal use
only! If you are considering using it for any other use, contact us first.
Don't rip us off or I will feed your organs to "Misty, the killer canine",
in alphabetical order."
It's not free code... :( Too bad as this would be great for unattended. I
wonder if this can even be used in a corporate setting.

Subject: RE: [Unattended] OT: Spyware, Adware, and other annoying software
installation pre vention, no-spyware.bat and no-spyware-update.bat
I created two scripts for this. One for use within unattended, the other for
use during login scripts in order to keep the list updated.
Imo no-spyware.bat should be included in cvs.
Thoughts?
::unattended method
::begin no-spyware.bat
:: OPTIONAL: Import www.spywareguide.com's blocklist.reg
::
URL|ALL|http://www.spywareguide.com/blocklist.reg|packages/spywareguide/bloc
klist.reg
@Echo off
todo.pl "regedit /s %Z%\packages\spywareguide\blocklist.reg"
::end no-spyware.bat
::login script method
I'm sure there are more elegant ways to do this but this works great for me
;) I have wget.exe [ from http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ ] in my path.
Actually in my login script I map a drive to %logonserver%\netlogon and
change to that drive letter, then disconnect that drive mapping at the end
of the login script.
YMMV
