I'm looking for a freeware solution to trojans. Tried a2 free (never worked) & SwatIt! (worked a couple times then stopped). Any other freeware solutions? Not shareware or payware. Thanks.

I doubt it but if you're talking about AV then AVG is pretty good and FREE :D

Freeware not really sure, sharedholder generally has quite some knowledge about free stuff (for some reason :rolleyes: )

Btw, check out this KoolLite Freeware Tools (http://www.klitetools.com)

I dont know specifically if they have it but you can check. :)

Thats not my site :lol: And I am just referring to a freeware site, do what ya want.


Edit: Btw, how is it spamming in the first place? Someone asking for a freeware is referred to a freeware site, whats wrong with that?

Thanks anyways I.am. That site is nice & I like 1 of it's founders SH. Don't really know the others. But you're awful suspicious with that sig. :lol:

Still looking for a freeware solution to trojans that works. SwatIt & a2 don't work. :angry:


If anyone can point me towards a real freeware trojan (anti) program that works, I would really appreciate it. Thanks all.

Look I was just pulling I.am's leg. In fun.

I layer my protection using SpywareBlaster, ScripTrap, xp-AntiSpy, Sygate Personal Firewall, Spybot Search&Destroy, Adaware and my current AV is AntiVir Personal Edition. All the above are FREEWARE.

There is no freeware program afaik that scans & removes trojans only. That's what I'm after. OK. If you (anyone) can help with a specific program, let me know.

As I mentioned before a2 free & SwatIt free would fill the bill. But they DON'T work.

I'm still hungry though. :lol:

Close but no cigar. This program monitors the registry. I'm looking for a scanner & remover only for trojans that is freeware. Thanks anyways ck-uk.

Zapjb , don't search anymore a freeware alternative cause don't exist i can send you a older build of THE CLEANER with a working serial then when you gonna update you must update only the trojan definitions .I have in my bookmarks over 50 freeware sites , i looked in 33 and nothing yet.

That's OK my friend SH. I'll still look for it. Kinda like the Holy Grail now. lol. It's like a passion now to have as much freeware as possible installed vs payware/shareware. Peace.

There is no such thing...freeware for a trojan utility, only thing that you will find for free is an online scanner which is strickly for trojans..i used this before i purchased Tauscan. :devil: (free online scan below)

Why does it suck? Reading the description, for a free prog (although it won't stay free for long I think) it can do a lot of things.

Thanks Mullyman! Downloading now. Setting A SRP & off I go. Will report back. Over & out. :)

Edit: Ran for the 1st time. Impressed. Test of time will tell. But so far clean install, easy to update, scans without excessive resources & doesn't try to start w/windows (on demand). Also found my puter Trojan free. As expected. Not like bs trialware programs that find nontrojans & identify them as trojans.

No problem Zapjb...i understand it is a new product still in the developement stage.. i personally do not use it...but the ones who have tried it...said it works well and are quite satisfied with it(so far) B)

Just found under the tools section of ewido. It hooks into into xp-antispy & eraser. Kinda like SpybotSD does with SpywareBlaster. Cool.
