I usually let the Mrs. scan the Trojans. :)

Also is a Trojan Scanner needed with Zone Alarm Pro?

If you don't want the trojan to infect you in the first place.

Most good virus scanners also scan for trojans. I use Panda Antivirus.

pccillin 2002 currently. used 2000 for the past year and it never let me down once. like it better than nortons and macafees. 2002 has a lite firewall as well watches for outgoing connections from stuff like back orifice and that sort of thing. Never wigged out my system either like macafee used to do regularly and nortons also but less frequently than macafee. Never tried panda.

Right now I use AVG. I used to use PC-Cillin, which comes with a lot of motherboards, but had too many problems with it in Windows 2000 and 98.

I used Swat It and discovered the "GT Bot" on my system :frown:

hey, same here.. i got the "GT Bot dropper nohack scanner" in my mirc32.exe file.. thank god swat-it found it. looks like it's time to get a realtime trojan/bot scanner. i was running NAV and AVG Anti-virus at the same time (both in realtime mode) and did a full scan with both and neither came up with any infected files.

what program was infected on yours bandxtrb?
