Would the combination of Sygate 5.5 Pro Firewall and AVG 7 be sufficient Trojan protection?

BTW, how is Norton Internet Security protection against trojans? How does it rank with the combination above?

edit: Sygate Firewall not NOD32 AV

yes :)
also it wouldn't hurt to get Spybot - Search and Destroy! very good spyware/trojan remover

personally, i'd say you should have a dedicated anti trojan program aswell, something like "The Cleaner"

avg and nod32 are good as anti virus programs but they have limited anti trojan support :)

Sorry in my 1st post I meant Sygate firewall not NOD32 AV .... edited.

@4th gen ... Isn't NOD32 good against Trojans .... heard that somewhere.

as i said, nod32 has limited anti trojan defense capability...

it's not as good as a dedicated anti trojan :)

For real-time trojan protection I use TDS 3
You can find out about it HERE (http://tds.diamondcs.com.au/)
