This looks great Tim and Jeff. But I don't think we could include it in unattended. From the original link that Tim sent: "Important Notes * These free blocklists are strictly for non-commercial, personal use only! If you are considering using it for any other use, contact us first. Don't rip us off or I will feed your organs to "Misty, the killer canine", in alphabetical order." It's not free code... :( Too bad as this would be great for unattended. I wonder if this can even be used in a corporate setting. Michael -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Black [mailto:je...@ha...] Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2004 3:02 PM To: una...@li... Subject: RE: [Unattended] OT: Spyware, Adware, and other annoying software installation pre vention, no-spyware.bat and no-spyware-update.bat I created two scripts for this. One for use within unattended, the other for use during login scripts in order to keep the list updated. Imo no-spyware.bat should be included in cvs. Thoughts? ::unattended method ::begin no-spyware.bat :: OPTIONAL: Import www.spywareguide.com's blocklist.reg :: URL|ALL|http://www.spywareguide.com/blocklist.reg|packages/spywareguide/bloc klist.reg @Echo off todo.pl "regedit /s %Z%\packages\spywareguide\blocklist.reg" ::end no-spyware.bat ::login script method I'm sure there are more elegant ways to do this but this works great for me ;) I have wget.exe [ from http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ ] in my path. Actually in my login script I map a drive to %logonserver%\netlogon and change to that drive letter, then disconnect that drive mapping at the end of the login script.
