    Sophos

    It has worked pretty good for me also. Although it hasn't detected any sign of Magic Lantern. I don't know if that is because I don't have it, or it doesn't work though.

    Magic Lantern hasn´t been made yet. They are still fixing all the legal bs.

    According to that article, they will all be able to detect Magic Lantern. But as Focmaester said, how can you detect something that isn't in circulation yet?

    Correct, McAfee and Norton are still arguing about cooperating or not.
    But Sophos has allready stated that they will stop this Trojan. And I say that´s the right thing because this can be abused.
    SO when Norton and Mcafee give you the finger it´s Sophos.
    I use both McAfee and Norton on my winboxes and Mcafee on my Apple and it´s going to be hard to let them go but I will have to switch.
