I read someplace in the forum that it is good to have a trojan/worm scanner as well as a virus scanner (Avast)
However Avast help says it should not be run in conjunction with other virus scanners. Would a trojan/worm scanner or spyware scanner be considered generically a virus scaner and therefore should not be used if Avast is also running.

Well it depends on what the Trojan Scanner is doing. Basically, there is no problem with having more than one AV/AT program installed. The problem is that you must not have more than one on-access scanner active. I think that today’s Trojan scanners are on-demand only (i.e. they do not include any resident components) so they should be OK…
