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, antivirus, 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 antivirus software products now include anti-spyware and some anti-spyware products have added antivirus. 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.Articles
