It's good, but not free for commercial use - there's your catch (and I 
wouldn't exactly call it anti-trojan).

Assume you've looked at Spybot as well? http://security.kolla.de

It's not as aesthetically pleasing as Ad-aware, but it is more flexible and 
it's free for commercial use.  I prefer it (especially after Lavasoft went 
through that period of not updating their software).  YMMV.
