I think that's the $50,000 question right now.  In my experience, yes, many AV 
products (i.e. Symantec, Trend, McAfee) are now also detecting at least some 
spyware/adware.  At the same time, no one A/V vendor currently has the entire 
range of spyware covered.  And, in fact, no one anti-spyware product currently 
has the entire range of spyware covered.  In regards to spyware, we're still in 
the "Wild West".   I wouldn't attempt to rely on a "one product does all" 
solution just yet.

Anyone have a list of AV that detects spyware? We are currently using
eTrust with spybot and the MS beta antispyware. I'd like to get
something that's integrated. Thanks.
