hello gurus, Is it possible to stop spyware entering in to the network with help of squid. The users are allowed to access only through proxy except one to two systems which are direct. But our network is often affected by spywares. Please suggest me a solution to stop this. Thanks Geetha --------------------- Hello, There is not any particular way of blocking spyware using squid. You might want to use squidGuard as it already has a big list of sites which contains unwanted malware/viruses. It would be helpful if you go ahead and block all Gambling sites, sites with cracks which usually contains spyware. This would be your first line of defense. The other way to stay free of Spyware would be by deploying Microsoft Antispyware on all the windows systems on your network. Regards Srid
