A Trojan horse is not one particular virus. Rather, it is a type of program that gains access to your computer by looking like another, legitimate program.

Most people who have viruses don't know where they came from. ;)

I'd like to point out that its spelt, 'Trojen'. Not 'Trogan'.

The Battle of Troy is one of my favorite legends.
But anyway:

“Beware of Trojans bearing gifts”

In our modern computeristic times, put plainly it means, 'Be careful what you download.'

Simple as that ... and is computeristic a word?

Ummm....it's Trojan, actually. :P

If you want to protect yourself from Trojans, get a good anti-virus, and don't open any emails which contain suspicious attachments. Also, don't download a program from the internet unless it comes from a reliable source (e.g SourceForge, MSDN) or if you trust that source.

Providing it hasn't been designed to bypass AVG security features yes, it should be fine.

God I hate Trojan's :ph34r:

You can clean out the virus vault on AVG, can't you?
Or even wipe it using wiping software..
I would think AVG would catch most trojans, Ad-Aware and things like that catch some, but I don't think it prevents them unless you have the premium version, SpywareGuard should block some before they can do anything, a good firewall should block most from accessing the internet, etc.
There are entire sites dedicated to giving out security information about such things, so I'd try to find some and see what they say.
