Archived from groups: alt>comp>anti-virus (more info?)

I use NOD32 as my antivirus program. Other users of NOD
claim it is also a trojan scanner. Nevertheless i would prefere
to use a program that is "specifically" geared for detecting/deleting
trojans....I realize that viruses & trojans can in certain
circumstances be classified as one in the same. i also realize that
it is best to run anti virus/trojan programs independently of each other.
Any suggestions on a free or paid anti trojan program?

I have never been infected, not in a decade or so on the net. Nothing has
ever got past whatever a-v software I have been using; the anti-Trojans I
have used have never needed to kick in. I read about all these awful
Trojans and the like, keep an anxious eye on the updates for my a-v and
anti-Trojan (dropped The Cleaner when it seemed way behind the game), but
very, very little has come my way over the years. I hope BOClean never
kicks in ... it is there for my peace of mind and once installed, doesn't
need me for anything.
