Trojan Remover - for removing Trojan Horses
from your computer
"Here is another program that offers
a free working trial; Trojan Remover http://www.simplysup.com/tremover/details.html
Target Platforms
Trojan Remover has been written for Windows
95/98/NT/Millennium/XP. It has been successfully
used by Windows 2000 users, although this
platform has not been officially tested.
Description
Trojan Remover was written to aid in the
removal of Trojan Horses and Internet Worms
when standard anti-virus software has either
failed to detect the problem or is unable
to effectively eliminate it.
The majority of Virus and Trojan Scanners
are well able to detect malicious Trojan Horses
and Internet Worms but are not always very
efficient in removing them once they have
been triggered.
Trojan Remover was written specifically to
carry out such a removal without the user
having to manually edit system files, including
the Registry. The program also removes the
additional system modifications some Trojans
carry out which are ignored by other Virus
and Trojan Scanners.
What Trojan Remover Will Do
Trojan Remover will examine all the system
files, including the Windows Registry and
determine the programs and files that are
loaded at boot time. The majority of Trojan
Horses (once triggered) are loaded this way.
Trojan Remover will scan ALL the files loaded
at boot time for Remote Access Trojans ('backdoors',
like NetBus, SubSeven, Optix Pro, Back Orifice
etc.), Internet Worms and other malware.
For each identified Trojan Horse, Worm,
or other malware, Trojan Remover will pop
up an alert screen showing the file location
and name; it will offer to remove the program's
reference from the system files and allow
you to rename the file to stop its activation.
Most modern Trojans make themselves memory-resident,
making 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 will do all this for
you. When a Trojan is found that is memory-resident,
Trojan Remover will (on request) reboot your
system and completely DISABLE the Trojan before
Windows restarts. It also protects the system
files whilst doing so by making them read-only.
Trojan Remover writes to a detailed logfile
each time a Scan is performed. This file contains
information on which programs are loaded at
boot-time, and what (if any) actions Trojan
Remover carried out. This logfile can be printed
out for future reference.
The program incorporates the ability to
automatically scan for Trojans every time
you start your computer.
You can scan individual files and directories
from within Windows Explorer.
Trojan Remover incorporates an integral Updater
allowing for quick and easy Database updates.
Trojan Remover's
database holds over 8000 individual trojan/worm
signatures (including variants).
This essential security utility is available
for you to try out FREE. Download a fully-working
evaluation copy today. The program will work
for 30 days before you need to decide whether
you would like to register it. I hope this
helps

Free trojan check
Remember the original
wooden horse of Troy? In ancient Greek history,
soldiers hid inside a huge wooden horse as
it was welcomed into the city as a gift, then
in the dead of night the soldiers took over
the city! Similarly trojans are small programs
that usually arrive concealed inside something
else, such as a website. Or they may be sent
by a 'cracker' who has discovered how to access
your computer.
Once inside your computer,
trojan programs can take over your browser
and transmit whatever is on your hard drive.
If you've ever found a porn site suddenly
appear as your home page, or just received
email about them, you may well have one or
more trojans in residence. Take trojans seriously
because if they've gained access to your computer,
they can read everything on your hard disk...
your email address book, your credit card
details, your passwords, the lot. Click here
to
learn more about trojans.
Important: Most
virus scanners aren't programmed to recognise
trojans. (Panda is.) This leaves the door
wide open for trojans hidden in .exe/.com/.bat
files. ICQ and IRC are flooded with trojans,
just waiting to get their hooks into your
system. Used chat lately?
PC
DoorGuard offers a free download that
will scan your computer for thousands (7161
when I checked last) of trojans. If it finds
one, you can buy their cleaner program. $29.95.
Hackfix
is dedicated to sharing information about
trojan horse programs, how to know if you're
infected and how to safely remove them.
