RE: AV that supports spy/adware

Simplicity of management.  Why managed from 2 separate consoles,
maintain two different license agreements, etc., when you could do it
all from 1 single point.  Less software to install on a client, less
resources used.  Lots of reasons to go down that route.

Sure Spysweeper Enterprise and Sunbelt's CounterSpy Enterprise are the
two best products out there now, and probably will be for at least
anotehr year, but all the major AV vendors will catch up to them and
offer equivalent features, and it will make the choice easy for most
large companies.

Why would you even want to go down that road.

There is an excellent product on the market by WebRoot that is
enterprise manageable.

They appear to also be one of the main leaders in this area.
I would give them a check just to see. IMHO
