Spybot has command-line parameters but I haven’t used them yet   From: Kevin Gent [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2004 4:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] GPOs for Spyware   Ad - Aware from Lavasoft will remove everything about these spyware/malware apps, but I'm not sure how easy it will be to automate. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Rimmerman, Russ Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2004 4:31 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [ActiveDir] GPOs for Spyware After purchasing Patchlink 5.0 as a patch management solution for our 5000 desktops, we have become aware after looking at the "software inventory" feature of it, that a very large amount of our desktops have various forms of Spyware installed on them.  ClockSync PrecisionTime Date Manager SaveNow FastSeeker EBatesMoMoneyMaker are some examples.  Is there an easy way to remotely uninstall applications?  I can remotely delete registry keys, kill processes, and delete files, but this might cause various errors since they're not being properly uninstalled.  Any easy solutions or ideas?   I know in Win2k3 you can create a GPO that is an "unauthorized software" list where you actually put in names of EXE files, but I don't think there is in Win2k.  We're in Win2k for now.
