Post subject: backdoor trojan scanner
Archived from groups: alt>comp>virus (more info?)

Hi all,

I'm looking for the best way to scan my system for trojan-backdoors.
What are the best scanners today, where can i find them and how good
are they. I'm told that most scanners won't detect a custom made
backdoor-trojan so if anybody could supply me with a link to a more
heuristic scanner that can detect these trojans by monitoring
'strange' behaviour i would really appreciate it

Thanx for any information ..

I'd try TDS-3. You can download a 30 day trial edition for free. If you
pay for the service, you get automatic updates and exec protection, but you
can manually download updates on trial version.

If it don't work, hit it.
If it still doesn't work, kick it.
If it works after hitting it and kicking it, then it doesn't matter if
hitting it or kicking it helped, what's important is that it works.

Why pay for a program when there are others as good if not better
free.

Like I said before, you get a trial version for free for 30 days. And TDS-3
detects more than Spybot and Adaware.

Most of these free trial progs seem to scan but not repair until you
have paid. I gather then that this is not one of those.

TDS-3 is probably the best anti-trojan there is.

Its generic scan finds quite a lot of new nasties not in its database, well
worth the download for evalution, and well worth the price to keep.

It has daily updates, Today being thursday 19th... the database was updated
yesterday. It has 31905 references at time of writing

"TDS-3 References: 31905. Last updated Wed Feb 18 2004.

Other trojan type software you should download are Process Guard (prevents
process injection like Back Orifice 2000 uses) and Port Explorer. Both have
free evaluation trials and are both from DiamondCS

www.diamondcs.com.au

Try the free program Registry Prot. Prevents trojans writing to the
autostart registry, warns users whenever there's a new addition/alteration,
and you choose whether to allow it or not. They are currently developing
AutoStart Guard, which will do all autostart methods and not just autostart
registry.
