At home of course :p
Can anyone recommend or suggest an enterprise anti-spyware program. We currently have a 3 year purchase of Sophos so we're not looking for a anti-virus/anti-spyware combined protection.

Requirements;

a) Must support Vista/Server 2008 (which rules out the corporate version of SPyware Doctor)

b) A central console for pushing out the software would be good.
 
I wouldn't deploy another client to each machine, most AV programs are pretty good at picking up spyware anyway and you'd be better of spending the money on some gateway-based protection to stop people downloading malware in the first place.
 
We have Computer Associates Pest Patrol, it does a fairly good job...

Few shortcomings...

The Management Console is a little illogical, although once you get used to it its ok. Also everything web based, including configurations on the client.

Scheduled Scans can take about 15-20% of cpu power, but I run those at night.
 
Firstly you need ascertain the size of the deployment, for the SMB market there are two that ive used reguarly being Trend Neatsuite SMB and Symantec Multi-tier Protection Small Business Edition, there are varients of each that cater for larger deployments but id recommend either.
 
We use McAfee Total Virus Defence on 800 Stations.

Cetral control with excelent reporting capability. Also the Antispyware module integrates into the main AV product.
