  • It's not a matter of the best "program" - but how many programS can you run on your system. They each detect and delete a different set, and I use several (Norton Internet Security, McAfee, PC Tools Spyware Doctor, SpywareRemover, RegCure, Anti-Spy, and maybe a few more) on my main system, and each will detect different infections. Pick the best you can afford, but don't stop at just one.
  • I'm afraid the answer is - none. No one program can detect and remove 'every' Trojan that exists - even the paid ones. Your defence against this situation is to identify what Trojan you do have and search for a manual removal tool or find manual steps to remove it. You might be tempted to install more than one anti-virus program - don't. It's a bad idea and they can interfere with each other, creating a huge mess. Don't make the mistake of confusing anti-virus software for anti-spyware software. They are not the same thing and anti-spyware software does not typically know how to identify or remove Trojans. It is perfectly safe to have anti-virus and anti-spyware software on the same PC. If you're using AVG and are having a problem removing a Trojan, take my advice from the first paragraph. I use it and have never had an issue. Mind you, my internet behaviour makes me a low risk for Trojans.
