There are many programs that you can try for free for 30 days. You can check out their reviews and performance at PC FLANK. I use Tauscan, reasonable price with good support. The products that others at this forum recommend are Trojan Remover, Trojan Detector, Pest Patrol, TDS and BoClean(no tial period, but they have a 100% satisfaction guarantee). I would not bother telling Grisoft or Macafee about trojans. Finding viruses are their job. You will see why I say this when you go to the PC FLANK Website. Take care and all the best!

capt,don't forget Trojan Hunter.I use that program and I like it better than former anti-trojan program.capt listed a bunch of very good ones,trial them and choose what you want.But I definitely wouldn't be without a good anti-trojan program.Check out wilders.org for reviews and downloads.

SWAT IT Trojan remover from... http://lockdowncorp.com/bots/downloadswatit.html It does not stop them from getting on to your PC but it allows you to do a manual scan and get rid of them. It's free and I hope it works for you. BTW Some Trojans can easily slip past a conventional Anti-Virus program, so I use both Norton AV and Swat It.

In my machine it has never detected a Trojan but I am sure that I was never infected. It detected once a Trojan named noob in a CD from a magazine that I scanned but I never knew if it was a real trojan or a false positive because I just threw away that CD.
Swat it sucks... small database... slow detection... If you want to remove a trojan like a pro, you shouls use: The Cleaner (from moosoft), or Trojan Defence Suite... Pest Patrol is also good but it detects many different things like trojan, spyware and even virusses. Try The Cleaner, it is really good!
