Dedicated freeware Trojan scanners (not website scan)

http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/personal/

And this one which looks quite good

http://www.ewido.de/de/?section=ess

The most recent program has now being translated to English.

For Win2k/xp only. Like A-squared so far the free version is available
only. No memory scanner in the freeware version. Detects backdoors and
trojans only in the freeware version.

There are others, but none look very good.

Thanks for the tip...didn't know about this one. But no wonder, since
the web is in German only AFAIK. I do not handle German very well. But
as you say the program have been translated to English (as the
download page also states). Just installed it. English OK, except for
some of the scan results message still in German only. Did not count
the number of reg entries. Non of my other monitoring tools complained
about anything when installing or running it, including my firewall.
Looks nice. I must confess I am out on a limb here, kind of, as I
don't know anything about the company - other than I have seen the
name mentioned here and there a couple of times. Google gave many hits
on ewido though, but most German pages AFAIK. The program links to
<http://www.ewido.net> for support, but I can't get to it, blank page
in Opera (while page title shows in title bar) and error in page by
IE.

All the best,
Bjorn Simonsen

It's being mentioned quite a few times on various beginner level security
web forums like Wilder's security, Broadband DSLR, NEt intergretion etc.

At the very least if you trust Asquared, you should trust Ewido, since
the author of Asquared has spoken highly of Ewido praising it has one of
the first AT's in the word with a real powerfull unpacking engine based
on real emulation.

But honestly like A-squared I don't think it's ready for prime time yet.

Most reassuring thanks. Program looks very good, runs without
problems/conflicts, and scanning was reasonably fast.
But honestly like A-squared I don't think it's ready for prime time yet.

Good to know.

I see. No problem as long as one knows why the site is blank. Perhaps
they should but a simple "not ready yet" message there. Thanks again
for the intel. :)

Received an e-mail from their webmaster about it (read my message here
he said) asking if I could see the page now - and I can. English site
available at <http://www.ewido.net>. Only a single page for now it
seems, with among other things the following statement:

<qoute>
