I like Trojan Defense Suite. It's generally better (IMHO) than NAV for
trojans.

I was not necessarily talking about the typical keylogger / trojan, but more of
what is _possible_ with a little skill. Developing zero day for aol client,
aim, yahoo, msn, etc is all possible.

Most modern trojans though have AV kill or bypass though, as well as FW kill or
bypass. Process injection is one way around software FW. SIN is a way around
hardware firewall. I'm not saying hardware / software FW and AV is bad per se,
but that it's not infallible.

I suppose you could mount the drive and scan and the result would be more
accurate.
