The Billy Goat product only seems to detect and notify nefarious activity, but it does nothing for the owned clients. I want something that restricts my owned subscribers to downloading updates and tools while preventing them from spewing forth more spam and the like. Mirage Networks is the closest to it, from my limited knowledge.

Please see one of: http://domino.research.ibm.com/comm/pr.nsf/pages/news.20060327_virus.html http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=14200013 http://www.ercim.org/publication/Ercim_News/enw56/riordan.html and various others. Billy Goats can do exactly at least the jailing part and most likely there are other similar services that provide the same functionality. The upgrade portion really depends on the installed software base of course. Without somebody actually doing the upgrade and most likely not even removing the virus/bot etc in place, not much can be done in that area, especially in non-ISP environments where you don't have root on the PC. This portion at least quarantines the box and then allows you to simply instruct the user in the common methods of battling the problem that the user has. Greets, Jeroen
