Trojan Remover for Windows

Purpose and function

Trojan Remover is a utility created to help locate and eliminate Trojan Horses and Internet worms when conventional antivirus programs either fail to detect them or cannot fully remove them. It focuses on automated cleanup so users don't have to manually alter system files or the Windows Registry.

When to use this tool

Use this program if your regular antivirus flags symptoms of infection but cannot clear all traces, or if system behavior suggests hidden modifications that other scanners missed. It’s intended as a follow-up cleanup tool rather than a primary real-time protector.

How it goes beyond typical antivirus scanners

While most virus tools can identify many Trojans and worms, they sometimes leave behind supporting changes those threats make to a system. This application targets those extra modifications that are often overlooked, removing them without requiring hands-on editing of critical system components.

Recent fixes and improvements

• Implemented verification of the Windows Security Center service to detect when malware has turned that service off
• Added the ability to inspect hidden Scheduled Tasks, including those created on Windows Vista and Windows 7
• Introduced new heuristic routines to reveal rootkit-like behavior that evades signature-only detection
• Added a warning mechanism for system files that appear to be infected so users are alerted promptly

Alternative recommendation

If you want another option, consider Trojan Killer — Free Edition — as a suggested substitute. It’s recommended for those looking for a different removal engine or an additional cleanup layer alongside existing protection.
