remote spyware/adware removal tool

[mwiner]

Is there anyway to run a spyware/adware removal tool on my machine to perform the action on another machine on my network. I have administrative rights on the other machine.

I wouldn't even mind if I had to buy the tool.

It would be a lot easer for me to clean the machines in my office if I didn't have to go from machine to machine.

Thanks!

Take a look at the thread I am/was (been very busy with an AD & Outlook 2003 upgrade) doing in "Where can I go to purposely infect a machine for testing?" (thread760-918748). While I wouldn't say that Pest Patrol is a cure-all, it definitely makes remotely managing and cleaning desktops MUCH easier.

I wish I could run HIJackThis, Spybot, or Adaware from my machine to a remote machine. I need something that is clientless.

Oh well.

If you are trying to avoid having to manually install the client on each desktop, Pest Patrol installs from the main console via network share. That is one aspect of the product I had very few problems with.
