Trojans and other PC control attack question

Rob B · 11-Feb-2006, 12:45

Can anyone give me some advice on the best way of detecting if anyone has managed to overcome the firewall and virus checker to place a control or key board monitor hack into my PC?

Also, what's the best way to keep 'em out? With all the internet purchasing and other online systems that we use these days, I'd like to be careful and try to stop it before it happens.

Using AVG Soho for the anti virus, XP s/w firewall. The Hardware f/w on the D-link router modem and regular sweeps with Spybot and Ad-aware

TIA, Rob

Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta 1.

Go to the ms website and you can down load it from there.
I run it on my machines and it works.
