Free Trojan remover software can be a very useful addition to any low cost internet security arsenal. Trojan horses can be very problematic and difficult to remove.
The aptly named Trojan horse is a small piece of malicious software that pretends to be a perfectly eligible program so it can gain access to your computer. After it has got on to your system it becomes a nasty little program that can be used by third parties to perform a number of tasks and send information to its propagator.
Some of the symptoms that could indicate the need for a free Trojan remover are:
CD-Rom tray frequently opening and closing on its own.
Colour setting changes in your display options
Changes to your browser homepage and changes to your background.
Dialogue or chat boxes appearing on your desktop when you connect to the internet or open programs.
Reduced system functionality and a reduction to the speed of your computer.
Random system shut downs and reboots for no reason.
Unscheduled modem dial ups. This can be a symptom of modem hijacking Trojan infection.
Unable to access windows task manager via Control, Alt and Delete.
Computer Security tools stop working or their .exe files disappear.
Unexpected icons or toolbars appear on your computer.
Increased error messages or warnings and dialogue boxes pop up frequently when you run your programs.
All of the above can be attributed to Trojan horses and mean you will have to take some action and use either a free Trojan remover or maybe even pay for one. Not all free software is capable of removing some of the nastier infections and you have no choice but to shell out the cash.
The recommended software is Super Anti Spyware and there is a free version available for home users. It has good free Trojan remover capabilities.
