Trojan Anti Virus Software
Info on Trojan Horse Anti-virus Software!
There are many different Trojan horse scanners on the market today that claim that they are the best, catch the most viruses and give you the biggest bang for your buck. Most of these Trojan horse scanners are just that...scanners. They are not Trojan horse removers. They tell you that you have Trojan horse viruses and other malware on your computer, but do not do anything about it. When you use their product to scan your computer, they will tell you the number of viruses found on your computer, and sometimes the names of the supposed infections. A lot of times, this is just part of the scanner’s trick. They then want you to buy their product to remove what it has allegedly found on your computer. After falling for this trick a few times, I started looking into scanners and their reviews. The best ones that seem to be out there are Kaspersky and avast!. Kaspersky is a pay to use Trojan horse and other virus scanner while avast! is free to use for personal use, but they will charge you if you want it for small business purposes.
Here is some information on these two programs. Do the research for yourself whenever you are looking to add a program like this to your computer.
Kaspersky: Kaspersky finds viruses, worms, Trojans, adware, and spyware, removes them, and then protects your computer from being infected again. It scans your files, emails, as well as your internet sites that you visit. Internet messengers like AIM and Yahoo are protected too. Kaspersky has great parental controls privacy tools. It helps to protect your computer by scanning for vulnerabilities in your operating system and Internet Explorer and has free technical support and automatically updates its database over the Internet. Kaspersky is being used by over 250 million customers and is currently running just under $80.
avast! antivirus Home Edition: avast! Home Edition is certainly one of, if not “the” very best free virus scanners available. It is only for non-commercial and home use. If you are not intending to use your computer for home use only or if you plan to use your computer for business purposes, then avast! offers a business edition as well. avast! Home Edition protects your data and programs and updates itself automatically. It also includes anti-rootkit and anti-spyware protection for Windows. This protection usually is only available through the various paid versions of antivirus software. They claim to support more Windows versions than any of the other anti-malware programs. avast! Home Edition currently has over 50 million users. Out of all of these benefits, the best one is that avast! Home Edition is absolutely free.
