What Trojan Remover does

Standard antivirus programs are good at detecting malware, but they are not always good at removing it once it has been triggered. Trojan Remover was written for exactly that gap.

Boot time scanning

Finds what loads with Windows

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

Rootkit aware

Looks for hidden services

The scanner checks whether Windows loads files or services that are hidden by rootkit techniques, and warns you the moment it finds any.

Automatic disinfection

Cleans up before Windows starts

When memory resident malware is found, Trojan Remover restarts your system on request and disables the infection before Windows loads again, so you never have to work in Safe mode or DOS.

Written for stubborn infections

Every scan ends with a plain record of what happened, and the cleanup is designed to be safe to undo.

  • No Registry surgery. Trojan Remover disables and removes malware without asking you to edit system files or the Registry by hand.
  • Full cleanup. The program also removes the additional system modifications some malware makes, which standard antivirus and Trojan scanners ignore.
  • Quarantine by rename. Infected files are renamed so they cannot run, which gives you the chance to restore a file if a detection turns out to be a false positive.
  • Detailed logfile. Trojan Remover writes a logfile every time it scans, listing the programs that load at boot time and the actions it carried out. The log can be viewed and printed in Notepad.
  • Integral updater. Database and program updates are collected through the built in updater, and you can schedule unattended checks with the Windows Task Scheduler.

The majority of virus and Trojan scanners are able to detect malicious software, but they are not always efficient at removing it once it has been triggered. That difference is the whole point of Trojan Remover.
