Hi,

This computer recently picked up a little nasty which identitied itself as W32 Looksky and tried to trick me into downloading all sorts of other crap which of course would have made matters worse. It hijacked just about everything including my homepage This trojan got past my AVG and ZoneAlarm and I had to have it professionally removed.

My question is - can somebody suggest an effective anti-trojan program that would prevent this from happening again?

Regards,

TB

I was at first reluctant to use it
but wouldn't be without it now. Love the way it updates itself.
