The purpose of our
Anti-Trojan Guide is to provide information about
software that detects Trojan horses, removes them and repairs damage caused by
them. An
anti-Trojan product should be used
in addition to, but not instead of, anti-virus
software. After installing anti-Trojan software,
immediately check for updates at the vendor's site
and turn on the auto update feature (if it has one).

a blended threat which is software that distributes itself like a virus, and
behaves sometimes like a worm and at other times like a Trojan horse."
