Anti-Trojan
Guide
The purpose of our anti-Trojan guide is to provide information about
software that detects Trojan horses, removes them and repairs damage caused by
them.
|
|
Important Tips: An anti-Trojan product should be used
in addition to, but not instead of, a
security suite,
anti-virus,
anti-spyware
or zero-day protection
software. After installing anti-Trojan software,
immediately check for updates at the vendor's site
and turn on the auto update feature (if it has one).
Some anti-virus software products now include
anti-spyware and some anti-spyware products have added anti-virus. In
addition, some of these products include anti-trojan, anti-worm and
other anti-malware features. Before relying on a single security
product, carefully review the vendor's list of features and study
comparative test results if available. |
