Aren't trojans the same as viruses? Are there any progs that can actively scan for incoming trojans?
No, they are not the same.
Yes there are trojan scanners and this may help you out.
Hey can't SwatIt act as a realtime trojan stopper?
Never heard of it.
Try "The Cleaner" by moosoft. At one time that was the best one out. Lost track in the last couple years though.
Just have read throught he various links in google and find what you want. Best I can do. Sorry!
Does it guard in real time, like an a/v prog?
I've used the free version of SwatIt and it is very thorough with it's scans. It is not freeware however and has a 30 day trial. You can either purchase the pro version or buy the latest updates for usd$2.95 per month. It never found anything on my system,so i can't give it a 'real' rating. It doesn't work in 'real time' to find problems by itself as an AV program can/will. You have to run it along with other maintenance routines. If you want to give it a try,you can get it here: http://swatit.org/download.html
When I download infected zip files, AVG's resident shield does not detect them. Probably because in Zip format they are dormant. However doing the full system/harddrive scan and AVG does find my pet Netsky Z I keep on my harddrive. It also does not automatically delete this. I think with AV programs, you just have to delete any ZIPs manually.
Ah OK. I sure hope eTrust can detect active trojans though.
Answers to recent questions on this forum:
Q. Does EZ AV detect Trojans?
A. Yes.
Q. Does EZ AV clean inside archives (like .zip)?
A. With Real-Time scanning on, it will clean infected files as they are extracted from the archive (example: using Winzip) and accessed in any way, and therefore, before harm can take place. But your archives will not be reconstructed for you. If the archives are your own, recreate them from clean files. If they came with some software, you should possibly try to obtain a clean set from the source.

OK so what that means is if I had viruses within a ZIP and went to open it, eTrust would stop them as I opened them? That's cool.
Too bad you decided to do that. A couple of suggestions for the future. Most companies have FAQ sections on their websites. Also, eTrust has "Sammy" who is not quite as obnoxious as Microsoft's paperclip or wag-tail-dog.
You can click on Sammy the Safe and ask a question and get a knowledgebase answer or you can view the FAQ.
The problem you had is because of cookies. They tell you to use Tools, Internet Options, Delete Cookies. But you really don't need to do that or even want to do that.
If you are savvy, go to Windows\Local Settings\ or wherever your cookies are and find the cookies from ca.com.
Best bet is to visit the website and then close Internet Explorer. Then sort the cookies so the most recently viewed will be at the top. Then note that you have about four to six cookies from ca.com. Delete all of them.
Now go to my-eTrust.com and Log in using your email. Works great.
Also, those cookies expire in a few days, so you could just wait a week and try again.
The email business is admittedly a bit slow with eTrust. They usually do answer in about 24 hours and your email has a link to the website where your answer and links to helpful areas are posted.
Another alternative is to use McAfee and call the support 800 number and talk to a human who doesn't speak English -- no big deal! Maybe you don't speak English either!! but I find it helpful to be able to understand the guy.
By the way, when you DO get a virus and you need to install an update from AVG or whomever, and you can't install the update to remove the virus because you have to remove the virus first. etc. . . . .
Reconsider eTrust because unlike all the others, it WILL install on an infected machine and it will remove the infection on the fly.
Just a little tidbit.
