Just my brother experienced that his notebook computer was infected
with a trojan which I suspected to coming from a wifi connection he
regulary connects.

I reformatted the hard drive and reinstalled the OS and the other
wares.
Now...
I wouldl like to know what is the best defense for such in the future?
Does the Norton Internet Security offers enough protection for such ?
