NOD32 Trojan Detection question

Im trialing NOD32's latest version and was wondering how NOD is at detecting trojans?. Should I run a dedicated trojan program alongside?, maybe run trojan remover or trojan hunter for backup. I've read a few opinions in the forums about NOD being a bit weak at trojan detection but superb with viruses.

 

Actully i think thats not needed... im useing NOD32 with no extra apps.
Have PestPatrol scanning on demand and it dont find any trojans that NOD32 has missed...

 

From reading lots of posts on the topic, NOD32 with Advanced Heuristics is very good with viruses and okay with some trojans.
I would get an anti-trojan program too. Unless you only want to run one program like KAV. But even then I would use an AT.

I would not use Pest Patrol as a measure of Anti-Trojan backup protection for NOD32. I have personally experienced PP failing to detect 3 different confirmed trojans (this is besides all the false positives). Had I not scanned with TDS-3, I would have been infected. TDS-3, Trojan Hunter, and BOclean are pretty well regarded. Especially if you use any download software or P2P file sharing, an AT is a good idea.

 

I was figuring a little layered protection would probably be a good idea. I'm going to give Trojan Hunter a try. I noticed they have a new 4.0 release candidate.

 

You may want to take a look here for further discussion on security to give you a layered defense:

Blackspear,

The first link you posted doesn't seem to work. The second one does.

 

Thanks for that, all fixed
