Anyone have any experience with PestPatrol? Looking to deploy it as my AntiSpyware/Adware managed solution. Comments and suggestions are welcome.

THANKS!!!
 
I tried it but it clashed with kaspersky. Everytime PP ran kaspersky would detect trojans trying to install. One of the pen testers in the ofice said that this is because PP installs it's own spyware to monitor how it used. Someone has commented that this is because PP uses a kind of template to test against that can be detected as trojans. I am now using ad-aware prof and it blocks cookies as well as detecting them.

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
 
I use it for my network with no issues. Have it running with Norton Corp Edition 9 and PP version 5 / the latest from CA.

Makes it a lot easier with central management over the others. Was also looking at another spyware remover called Web Root Spy Sweeper Enterprise that had central administration, but i ended up going with PP no particular reason.

On the main server that PP runs on i also run Ad-Aware SE, Spybot Search and Destroy 1.3, Spyware Blaster, and have no conflicts among them.
