Hi, hddndrgn04

Welcome to Wilder's and TDS.

-{ Quote: "I was just wondering if a program I downloaded has trojan/spyware capabilities. Is there a way of telling?
Will TDS detect these suspicious programs?
" }-

Yes and no.
If it is a trial version is will only find something in a scan.[Make sure it's up keeped to-date]

The Full will catch something when you try to install it if you have Execution Protection installed. [Part of full version] [Keep up to-date]

-{ Quote: "What if the program needs to access the internet, how do I know if it has secret intentions?
" }-

No secert intentions, Just updates, or if you tell it to send something to DCS.

-{ Quote: "Can I send TDS a setup/program to take a look at it?
" }-

I think a program would be to big to send.

I hope the is of some help.

Hi hddndrgn04 and welcome!
About the program you want to send: did the fully updated TDS find something suspicious in it?
You can go for a second opinion on that online to www.kaspersky.com/remoteviruschk.html if the file is max 1MB, in a few seconds you have that second opnion.
