Trojans are some of the hardest forms of malware to detect and remove. They can hide in many different places and even disable your security programs.
If your device has become slower than usual, with pop-up interruptions or uncharacteristic software behaviors, or is displaying pop-up ads without cause, or is acting differently than usual, there could be an infection with a Trojan virus present. One way of eliminating it would be performing a System Restore procedure to clean out this infection.
Quick Scan
Trojans are the most widespread form of malware to attack computers. Once inside, they reveal their true intentions: stealing data or seizing control of your device. Some Trojans hide in startup programs; others download and install additional malware; still others make more frequent appearances as part of criminal DDoS attacks or can steal banking details from network resources.
Trojan Remover is a handy utility program designed to assist antivirus software in effectively eliminating Trojan Horses, Internet Worms and other forms of malware from computers. Specifically developed to assist when standard antivirus solutions either don’t detect these threats or cannot remove them properly, Trojan Remover helps keep computers clean from these menaces.
Trojan Remover’s Quick Scan feature runs automatically in the background to detect malware and other threats as they emerge, using only a fraction of the resources required by full virus scanning. You can schedule one or set it off manually.
Full Scan
Trojans are one of the most dangerous forms of malware as they can masquerade as legitimate programs on your system and operate without your knowledge, potentially stealing personal information, installing spyware and ransomware or erasing data from it.
Hackers take advantage of these slow moving threats for social engineering attacks such as sending phishing emails with infected attachments and spear phishing attacks, for which their use evades detection and propagation.
Although modern operating systems feature enhanced security systems, their protection cannot always prevent Trojan attacks. For optimal removal of a Trojan, use the Full Scan feature of an effective antivirus program – this thoroughly scans every local drive, folder and file on your system as well as external devices like USB drives for malware – taking longer than quick scans but providing more thorough coverage than quick searches; using its “Remove” button removes detected Trojans from your device.
Custom Scan
Trojans differ from viruses in that they don’t replicate themselves, instead using social engineering techniques to get you to unknowingly install them and start collecting your personal data, monitoring activity and installing additional malware without you realizing. They often make their rounds through torrent sites with free or cracked programs and appear like normal files until run by someone who unwittingly installs them.
Once installed, Trojans can cause numerous issues, from stealing personal data to changing browser settings or desktop layout and slowing down your device. They could even use your device for DDoS attacks or passing your personal information onto cybercriminals.
You can protect against Trojans by performing a System Restore once infected. This will restore all files from before infection and delete any Trojan files; but to stay safe it’s wiser to be watchful about what and where you download.
Delete Suspected Files
Trojan Remover monitors files loaded at boot time for Adware, Spyware, Remote Access Trojans and Internet Worms. When any suspicious files are identified, Trojan Remover warns the user with a pop-up window displaying location and name details for each suspicious file found. Furthermore, this software offers to delete references to suspect files from system files while offering to rename suspect ones so they cannot activate again in future scans.
Trojan viruses often disguise themselves in MP3 songs, movie files or text documents downloaded by users. Once installed on their computer, these malicious programs can steal information, put additional strain on CPUs, damage networks and even destroy systems.
Trojan Remover offers more than the traditional scanning options; in addition to FastScan which scans files and programs at boot up for malware. It is easy to use and does not require advanced computer skills for operation; users can run in silent mode by providing the /Q command line switch or submit suspicious files via an email address on its website.
