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

No. :frusty: Looking for a program specifically for trojans.
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. :)

I.am that's just spammimng. :lol:
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.

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