Looking for good trojan remover..

Hi, I'm looking for an effective Trojan remover software. I've seen some people say that Antivirus is one thing, and Trojan remover is another and although antivirus detects some trojans, it's better to have a seperate trojan scanner. So, anyone know of any good trojan removers?

I really don't use one myself. Basically Grisoft AVG and Ewido are the only antivirus program I need and they do a good job...

But if you want to look for one, Trojan Hunter is probably one of the good ones out there...

I use what greyknight17 mentions above but also have on hand

A2 Squared Free
This detects Trojans, Dialers, Worms and Spyware. One thing make sure you look at everything in the list of detections before you hit delete, as there is not a backup option. This is a great program.

Pest Patrol
This is a pay program, but I use it here and there in my networking biz. It is not a top recommend, but I do find useful at times.
