Derek,
We have a solution that does network spyware scanning - no agents required
on individual hosts - all the scanning is performed remotely by the console
and nothing is installed or instantiated on the target hosts (scanning
assumes you have admin login creds and access to the file and printer
sharing service on those machines).
The scan engine detects different types of items: spyware, malware, adware,
non-business ware, and configuration (to protect against malware
infestation). It further labels items based on confidentiality, integrity,
availability, non-business, and productivity (you can filter to scan for
all types and labels, or only selected items). Reporting can be done at
the console with 15+ different kinds of reports and exports, and the entire
scan process can be done via commandline. Remediation is also available,
though it can be licensed to do scan only (Audit version). We also have
licensing available for consulting engagements, so you can cut keys to do
the Audit version against a given number of hosts for a specified period of
time.
You can view a sample of the reports here:
http://reportserver.shavlik.com/ (choose a report type towards the bottom
for spyware reports)
more info on the product here: http://www.shavlik.com/netchk-protect.html
(you can license the audit version with or without the patch assessment
portion)
