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.

Many AV scanners support it; one way to get an idea is to look on their
virus encyclopedia pages at the names used.

For instance, for Trend, you'll notice some prefixes to names like  SPYW_
and ADW_. Take a look at your favorite vendor's site to get an idea if they
do or not. Our product does as well, and is an option in the web-based
administration console.
