Trojan Remover aids in the removal of Malware - Trojan Horses, Worms, Adware, Spyware - when standard anti-virus software either fails to detect them or fails to effectively eliminate them. Standard antivirus programs are good at detecting this Malware, but not always so good at effectively removing it.

Trojan Remover is designed specifically to disable/remove Malware without the user having to manually edit system files or the Registry. The program also removes the additional system modifications some Malware carries out which are ignored by standard AntiVirus and Malware scanners.

What Trojan Remover Does

Trojan Remover examines all the system files, the Windows Registry and the programs and files loaded at boot time. The majority of malicious programs (once triggered) load this way.

Trojan Remover scans ALL the files loaded at boot time for Adware, Spyware, Remote Access Trojans, Internet Worms and other Malware. Trojan Remover also checks to see if Windows loads Services which are hidden by Rootkit techniques to avoid normal detection.

For each identified Malware Trojan Remover will show an alert screen which identifies the file location and name; it offers to remove the program's reference from the system files and allows you to rename the file to stop it from activating.

Most Malware programs are memory-resident which makes their de-activation more difficult. How many times have you been told to start your computer in SAFE mode, or even worse, in DOS? Trojan Remover does all this for you. When it detects memory-resident Malware Trojan Remover automatically restarts (on request) the system and completely DISABLES the Malware before Windows is re-loaded.

Trojan Remover writes a detailed logfile every time it performs a scan. This logfile contains information on which programs load at boot-time, and what (if any) actions Trojan Remover carried out. The logfile can be viewed and printed using Notepad.

Features

FastScan

The FastScan component of Trojan Remover is set to automatically scan for Malware every time you start your PC (you can disable this if you wish). You can also run the FastScan manually any time you wish (START | All Programs | Trojan Remover | FastScan), and schedule it to run at a set time daily (useful for those who do not turn their systems off at night). The FastScan checks all malware-loading points - it is a quick and effective check for actively loading malware.

Scanning Files and Folders

You can scan individual files and directories from within Windows Explorer, by right-clicking on the file/folder and selecting Scan with Trojan Remover. You can scan a whole drive, or any directories on a drive, by selecting Scan a Drive/Directory from the main Trojan Remover menu.

Updating

Trojan Remover incorporates an integral Updater allowing for quick and easy Program and Database updates. A Scheduled Task automates daily update checks and you can also carry out manual update checks at any time you choose.

Trojan Remover runs on all versions of Windows from Windows XP up to the latest Windows 11.
