I've been using Trojan Remover for about 5 years or so. I don't ever
remember it finding any malware. I'm curious if other users have had
the same experience. I also cannot have it come up on startup because
it does not play nice with some other programs.

Just curious.

If you don't load it at start up, what use is it?
Make sense?

It's also on 'demand'. I also do the same 'startup scan' after
startup. It checks the same files. As I said, it doesn't play nice
on startup. Besides, how come it never finds anything when 'on demand'
or the later 'start up' scan? I'd like to know the experiences of
others who have the program.

I've trj 6.8.1 many times on compromised machines when none of the
leading apps would even start and it's removed many malware from those
machines, enough that the others would run properly.

So in your opinion, what's a /GOOD/ Trojan/Malware remover?

I've been stuck on MD Defender for XP, It's has some features I like, liked
warning ya to system changes, and the software explores is kinna neat.

In the stated case, it was worthwhile to have a lesser known antimalware
because the better known ones are specifically attacked by the modern
malware. The better a program gets at removing malware, the more the
malware writers will specifically attack it.

Don't you know it, just like the saying goes, "it;'s lonely at the top" I
should know, I run my own payroll, and my staff always take pot shots at me.
Do get me wrong, I've had some staff for 7+ years but still, it's their job
to get in my face. Arg.....

What do you think of MS Defender?

I think that it is a good idea. It hasn't caused me any trouble at all.
