I am running W2KSVR in Terminal Services mode and would like to run a
Spyware/Adware program. We have a Hardware firewall and have Vet running as
an Anti-Virus however i would like to be able to run a Adware scan
periododically.
Does anyone know of any that are tried and tested with W2KSVR?
 
I've used this against terminal servers before:

That being said, if the server is locked down you won't get spyware. What I
mean is if users don't have write access to the hard drive root, system files
& program files it's really hard for anything to get on your server without
you installing it.

Caution, DO not just go and change the NTFS permissions on a production
server, as you're likely to cause many apps to stop functioning.

I start with the following permissions on %SystemDrive%, %SystemRoot%,
%ProgramFiles% and %SystemRoot%\system32:

System and Administrators - Full Control
Authenticated Users - Read & Execute

Grant write permissions to specific files, directories or registry keys as
needed, but avoid elevating user status to power user or admin at all costs.
Also make sure the Termial Server Configuration is in Full Security (or
Windows 2000) mode, as legacy security mode makes everyone power users.
