I work at a very large USA ISP in tech support, which means that I have to visit all kinds of pages, some dangerous, some not.

If I didn't have Nod32 4.0 for my antivirus, I'd have been screwed a long time ago.

TrojanHunter has completely missed all 30+ trojans that tried to infiltrate my system, while Nod32 caught every single one.

A "dedicated trojan program" has missed 100% of every attempt.

What's up with that?

Thanks

In this case, NOD will have first access to any attempted infection, and thus will block the trojans/malware. Since NOD has already blocked the attempted infection TrojanHunter will not see it, so this is not at all unusual.
