All,
I use the Webroot SpySweeper product in the consumer space, and I'm very
happy with the look and feel as well.
As for the Webroot SpySweeper Enterprise Edition, I have not used the
product but I would recommend that you review it for your needs.
One caveat regarding the SpySweeper Enterprise Edition however is the recent
discovery that the Registry entries are in clear text and this is NOT
acceptable practice within a secure environment.
I would insist that this be corrected prior to purchasing this product...
I would also be interested in additional information regarding
Sunbelt-Software's CounterSpy Enterprise Edition - Thanks for the input...
Sincerely,
James E. Bunting

Agree with all the comments on Pest Patrol - we tried
that one.
Spysweeper - we also trialed this (although admittedly
very quickly and with just about no time to mess with
it) and did not get great results - in particular,
this was too resource-intensive on client machines.
Maybe we didn't configure it well enough - but
performance was awful.
