Download the latest database installation file only if you are just updating the databases and not the Program file!
Once you have downloaded this file close Trojan Remover if it is open, browse to where you have downloaded the installation file and double-click on it to install the update. Once installed you can delete the installation file from your computer.
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
