YOur explanation and my confusion in an area which should be pretty straight forward tells me that these are not being marketing correctly. Like I said, I hesitate to add more stuff because each new level of protection requires more fine tuning so that sites actually operate when I wish them to do so. I've often wondered when that promise, which was made 20 years ago, to me by the first guy who sold me a computer will come true. "With this computer, you will make much more money and have much more spare time." Still waiting --------------

"I don't have anything to detect trojans specifically, beyond Spybot and AVG. My reasoning is that Zone Alarm will alert me if one sneaks by these defenses and tries to call home." to pass along a pertinent post from another forum.... "One assumes that the function of a trojan is to send data out, or open a door in. But it might just do bad things. The Greek soldiers in the original Trojan Horse didn't immediately rush to the phones; first of all they killed everyone in Troy."
