Re: Have I Gone Over the Top?
i don't see how you could be "over the top" with what you are running..
if it was me, i would want to add an anti-trojan program like either BOClean or TrojanHunter.. i also use IESPYAD and the MVPS winhelp2002 HOSTS file, and i have IE's security settings for the internet zone set to "high" (customized).. and you can block third-party cookies in IE/tools/options/privacy..
you don't want to have too many security programs running in realtime.. there are limitations due to the way that win xp is designed.. |

| Thanks redwolfe_98, as you can see I only keep 2 (ZAP and Nod32) resident. The others I use when the need arises.
Hadn't thought about the Trojan aspect. Will look into further.
Likewise Buddel, the trojan aspect I thought was being looked after by NOD.
Dear Rotty, tried Firefox but after being in computers since 1971, and so thoroughly brain washed by you know who with glasses, I couldn't quite get the hang of it so stuck with M$; maybe I'm getting too old and grumpy, at least thats what a certain retired Fire Captain says; (as if I'd believe him anyway).
I think I'll stay with what I've got and tack on a non-resident Trojan sniffer as a final "belt and Braces" fix.

However, I don't think that this AV renders anti-trojan software useless. IMHO, its trojan detection still leaves a lot to be desired. Therefore, I also use an anti-trojan, which is another useful and necessary layer of protection. |
