I was wondering when they were going to jump in

Symantec AV 9.0 Corporate has antispyware capabilities. Not very good but they are there. Just like this beta version it fails to capture all spyware. also at least with the SAV 9.0 it will remove the files in questions but not the associated registry/startup entries. I was wondering when Symantec was going to give their own separate client a whirl.

I agree, it can be an alert to if a certain machine on the network may need some "TLC" in a corporate environment.

So far, though, it's been seemingly-random as to which files get marked for deletion, and which are skipped. Either way, it helps out some.

symantec needs to stick with virus protection & let microsoft handle the spyware removal.

Even the consumer versions of Norton AVs have had "anti-spyware" functionality since NAV 2004.

I don't blame them for wanting to capitalize on the growing antispyware market.

Does this mean than NAV will no longer eliminate spyware?

It probably still will, although not as good as their super-duper anti-spyware program.
