What extra protection other than Avast?

[MrRAlan]

If you want a protection to trojans, you'll must get Ewido (www.ewido.net) or a-squared. They aren't 'complicated' security programs. 

Why doesn't avast protect against trojans???  It's suppose to.  I had several that it couldn't detect.

I wish avast were the perfect security tool... but there isn`t perfect things... only the best they can achieve.
Anyway, layered defense is not a bad thing... what some software misses, the other detects

I have adaware  SE going, it catches malware but also catches attempts to alter the registry and that's exactly what many trojans do when they run.......they make a beeline for shutting down the firewalls and antivirus.....might do something subtle like shut off updates............

Firefox with NoScript extension.
I know it can be a pain to use, but helps in javascript trojans.
Also running XP as a non admin. In XP home using a limited user account.
I don't mess much with any security progs cause I have an overheating CPU
So I don't run spybot resident or any other IDS like software.
