Trojan Detection & Removal Software
Trojans are one of the worst kinds of viruses you can get because they are hard to remove and many of them constantly download new files onto your infected computer. Instead of using basic virus scanners, there are several specific trojan detection programs that will eliminate the virus problems.
-
Types
-
Popular software choices include Malwarebytes, Spybot Search and Destroy and Vundo Fix. Combo Fix is a trojan virus removal tool that uses the Microsoft Repair Center to fully erase viruses from a computer.
Function
-
The software programs are tailored to specifically find and attack trojan viruses. The key part of these scans is finding the root of the virus so that it cannot grow. Many of them feature "Quick" or "Smart" scans that inspect specific folders where the viruses are usually located.
-
Considerations
-
Always use the trojan removal software while in "Safe Mode" because this helps you clean the Trojan virus completely from the system. Perform updates on the virus software every time you scan so that newer viruses will be easily detected for removal.
Features
-
Malwarebytes features a two-click process that makes scanning easy. Spybot Search and Destroy features a large database that explains each virus in detail. Combo Fix uses official Microsoft software, so any corrupted data can be downloaded and replaced.
Cost
-
All of these trojan removal programs are free to download and use. Some of the software, like Malwarebytes, may feature upgrade costs or accept donations, but the basic use and removal of trojan viruses is completely free.
