RE: [squid-users] restriciting spyware

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.
