I use a-squared it's an anti-trojan prog but it's also able to find Worms,Spyware and Adware (but not Viruses).
You can download the Free or the Personal Edition of a-squared.
(The Personal Edition contains a Guard and an autoupdater)
Here you find a-squared and here iyou find informations about the special Guard
I used to use that when I fixed windows 98. That was only because Ewido dosent work on those.
I don't trust it anymore because it had issues giving false postitives. It also isn't that good at finding real viruses.
If your on xp get ewido instead.
New set of tools that I use:

I seriously want ewido (http://www.ewido.com) as well, then I would be complete, but due to the problem here (http://forum.ccleaner.com/index.php?showtopic=3221) I can't, unless they have manual updates?
You can manually download updates from them by visiting http://www.ewido.net/en/download/updates/. Note: Since they update it so often you'll probably be updating almost everyday.
It will be a good addition to your security Predator to have Ewido. The prog. is so well run and trouble free, ( for me anyway )
As Anavari says you can apply the updates manually until your problem is sorted.
Excellent, got all I want now. They have a full database download, and then ones for over the last 2-3 days. So I'll update every other day.
Well heres an old topic.![:P]()
(nov 2005, started in september.) ![:)]()
Anyway my recommended ones have changed a bit.
Ewido
Superantispyware
adaware
spybot
spyware blaster
host file
etrust antivirus
Should Superantispyware be trusted? I've heard and read rumors and they'e not good ones...
Its listed as recommended by spyware warrior.
http://spywarewarrior.com/sww-help.htm
I've had good results with it removing things that no other program would remove. Especially the new vundo infection that is hiding itself in hijack this logs.(it hides O2 and O20 hjt lines) As far as I know its the only thing besides vundofix that will clean that up. Also it will remove some of the winfixer,spyaxe, smitfraud, infections.(not all yet but its better then most)
I also like that the author goes to a lot of security forum and will address any questions/concerns. He seems like a very nice guy.
