This software gets installed on the computer either without the knowing or when one thinks one is downloading something else.

whitepaper Webcast: Does Your Anti-virus REALLY Protect You Against Spyware?2006-12-05 12:57:34 Sunbelt Software
  While most enterprise anti-virus software includes at least some protection against spyware, it's important to remember that anti-spyware functionality is just an afterthought in the majority of anti-virus solutions available today.

So it stands to reason that anti-virus tools that were designed first and foremost to scan for viruses and worms won't be as effective at detecting adware and spyware. With their focus primarily on files and processes, anti-virus solutions may simply not detect tell-tale signs of spyware such as groups of offending registry keys.

Check out this TechRepublic Webcast, now available on demand, to hear Sunbelt Software's President, Alex Eckelberry, and Director of Malware Research, Eric Howes, discuss spyware detection and why the lack of a specific and aggressive anti-spyware strategy can leave your company vulnerable to a host of contemporary security threats.

Moderated by James Hilliard of TechRepublic, the discussion covers these important topics and more:
  • The unique characteristics of spyware
  • Why anti-virus solutions may not always effectively detect and remove spyware
  • The key differences between anti-virus products and dedicated anti-spyware solutions
Independent tests have proven that stand-alone anti-spyware products are better than anti-virus solutions at detecting and removing spyware from networked computers. So check out this on-demand Webcast to learn more about the threats associated with spyware and the benefits of including a dedicated anti-spyware solution in your overall security posture.

When is the right time to update? Where are updates coming from? Etc. This paper will address some of the flaws with current antivirus management policies and show how these flaws can be addressed with Tenable's products.
