Many AV scanners support it; one way to get an idea is to look on their
virus encyclopedia pages at the names used.

For instance, for Trend, you'll notice some prefixes to names like  SPYW_
and ADW_. Take a look at your favorite vendor's site to get an idea if they
do or not. Our product does as well, and is an option in the web-based
administration console.
