    Hey forum members,

    I have a program named Hitman Pro 2. I always thought it was a good antivirus software. But no, today I run Spyware Doctor and yes, I am infected with 22 highly risked Trojans. I was happy I found the viri, and I was going to delete them.

    But no, I have to buy the **** software for 30 dollars. Has anyone a free anti trojan software which can do the same job?

    Thanks in advance,

    Charlie :)

    Have you try the trial version of SpySweeper and the free Ad-Aware SE?

    Try installing a trial version as a temporary solution. Kaspersky Internet Security is really good, and will rid you of any trojan and spyware pains you may have :)

    Sometimes I feel SpySweeper is playing a game of faking spyware to make the program seem superior. But apparently, extensive tests show this software to be also as effective as advertised.

    Well I tried Ad-Aware SE, but he didnt find anything. NOD32 is finding some things, as well as Spyware Doctor. I am going to try Kaspersky now, thanks Kimiz!

    Try that , try to run in Safe Mode instead of normal 'Windows Mode'....It should at least stop some of the spyware..I prefer to delete viri manually..You should do that , run anti-spywares on Safe Mode [if they are supported]
