Defenestration

Hi again everyone,
I have a few questions after reading the review at:
http://www.anti-trojan-software-reviews.com/review-boclean.htm
The questiuons I have relate to the following comments:
"Many of today's trojans attempt to pull down anti-trojan defenses mounted by the user. For example, one common trojan claims that it can disable any of 32 different anti-virus/anti-trojan monitors that may be running on the user's computer at the time the trojan is executed. And it's no idle boast - this trojan does have that ability. Watching it in action is an awesome experience."
Anyone know exactly what trajan this is ? Is/Was TDS vulnerable to this attack, or was it one of the exceptions ?
"Designers of anti-trojan monitors try and protect their programs against this sort of attack using a number of clever techniques. A common one is to have two monitors running in memory with each watching the other. If a trojan shuts down one monitor, the other notices it and restarts it immediately.
This is of course a cat and mouse game. Sometimes the trojan will win, at other times the anti-trojan monitor. The simple fact is that the best way to stop a trojan is never to let it be executed to start with."
Is this the way the TDS-3 monitor works ?
Is this the way the spangly new all fangled TDS-4 monitor will work.
I did have somethin else to say but forgot what I was going to say (who says, you only lose your memory in old age...?:o)
If I remember, I 'll be back!
Anyway, life is hard for me, so back off to work with Christine Aguilera...
