Trojan Remover was written to aid in the removal of Trojan Horses and Internet Worms.

Trojan Remover was written to aid in the removal of Trojan Horses and Internet Worms when standard anti-virus software has either failed to detect the problem or is unable to effectively eliminate it.

Trojan Remover has been written for Windows 95/98/NT/Millennium/XP. It has been successfully used by Windows 2000 users, although this platform has not been officially tested.

The majority of Virus and Trojan Scanners are well able to detect malicious Trojan Horses and Internet Worms but are not always very efficient in removing them once they have been triggered.

Trojan Remover was written specifically to carry out such a removal without the user having to manually edit system files, including the Registry. The program also removes the additional system modifications some Trojans carry out which are ignored by other Virus and Trojan Scanners.

What's New:

Version 6.7.1

* Added new scan routine to check DLLs loaded as ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers.
* Added routine to locate and remove Trojan.VirtuMonde config files.
* Added option to delay the execution of the FastScan at boot-time. This defaults to a delay of 2 minutes, allowing other programs to fully load first. The FastScan should then run a little faster.
