I found WebRoot Spysweeper to be the most effective in catching spyware / Adware. It found a lot of stuff Adaware and pestpatrol couldn't find.

Love perl, myself, and command line login scripts as well... But for those of us who have an all windows user network, with all windows admins... The command line is SCARY! Try this product. It just came out in version 5, and the windows guys seem pretty happy. You want the corporate edition, if you're looking for remote scanning. http://www.pestpatrol.com They also have a nice login script automation page, that USED to be their centralized solution... Looks like they slapped a gui on a bunch of scripts.

Does anyone out there know of any tools available to probe network workstations for the presence of adware/spyware?
Sure...Perl scripts. As a security admin in an FTE position, I had scripts that checked all systems within the domain for entries in the ubiquitous 'Run' key, as well as for BHOs. Easy stuff, pretty trivial, actually. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
