Patrick,
Point well taken. I will do the on-line scan instead of
installing a piece of software on the TS. I like that
idea and your reason even better ;-)
Point very well taken. Setting up the security first
would have been a much better idea than trying to patch
things up after the fact. And that would certainly result
in software not working and hearing about it from the
users! Not a very good career move! I have looked at a
lot of the posts here in this newsgroup and will implement
your suggestions on the C:\ and C:\Program Files on the
next TS that I build. This was my first one so I am
learning. Did not have the luxury of a test lab to make
my mistakes there!

I'm not saying AdAware is a bad idea, I just think it's a
band-aid to a larger problem. If they have a corporate
version that allows you to set the restrictions for all
users that would be better than something that users could
inadvertently choose the incorrect setting on.
The online scanner I quoted would be something that you
could run on a regular basis w/o having to install a piece
of software on the TS.
I realize the situation you're in and would highly
recommend planning a build of your system that starts
secure, instead of trying to add security after the fact,
which would likely do exactly what you fear (break
programs).
