Recommendations for Anti-trojan softwares

I don't question what others have found in cleaning and working with computers. I don't have the experience to discuss such. However, as I read AV Comparatives last tests I see that some of the best AVs detected in excess of 97% of trojans, Avira detected 99.7%.

Accordingly unless the addition of a dedicated AT gives 100% detection I fail to see the need for a dedicated AT.

While all AVs are not equal in that detection the best ones are sufficiently good that I do not believe I need an AT. In the past I have had probably 4 attempts at penetration by malware. I did have both AV and AT. The AV caught the 2 trojans and not the AT. I realize that this should be the norm, but it has convinced me an AT running realtime is unnecessary for my use.

i think this is arabic language do you have another link?thanks

 

This is russian; you can try an online translator if you are impatient.

Sample of this page as translated by rustran.com:
"As is known, the principle of work AVZ in many respects is based on search in studied system of various anomalies. On the one hand, it helps with search Malware, but with another suspicions to components of antiviruses, antispies and other legitimate ON, actively cooperating with system are quite natural. To suppression of reaction AVZ on legitimate objects and simplifications of the analysis of results of the analysis of system due to a mark of legitimate objects color and their filtrations from broad gullies applies base safe AV..."

 

thanks

 

@JerryM The problem with trojans is that different AV vendors have different definitions as to what these malware are!

@jmonge The dropdown menus are in English!

BUT, if you were to have told me 50 years ago that we'd be corresponding "babblefishedly" with people all round the world by these tiny gadgets known as PCs, I wouldn't have believed it.

Best,

thanks

Hey Jerry, got you beat. 99.8%

 

Hi Jeff,
But I may be a safer surfer than you??

On my laptop I just reistalled KIS so you are several points better than me. I'll get you to clean my computer when KIS lets the baddies through.

As previous posters have stated; there is no need for a dedicated AT if you have a top rated AV.

http://www.av-comparatives.org/ is a good place to start.

 

And it's excellent. The English version of AVZ Antiviral Toolkit is here:
