Description
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 trojan scanners.
Features:
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 and warns you if it finds any. For each
identified Trojan Horse, Worm, or other malware, Trojan Remover pops up
an alert screen which shows 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 its activation.
Most modern 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 finds Malware that is
memory-resident, Trojan Remover automatically re-starts (on request)
your system and completely DISABLES the Malware before Windows
restarts.
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.
Trojan Remover is set to automatically scan for Malware every time
you start your PC (you can disable this automatic scan if you wish).
Trojan Remover is designed to work on Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/Vista.
The program is not, at present, compatible with any 64bit version of
Windows.
