How do i search my computer to check for trogans??

Answer 1

do you mean trojan?

Download AVG free edition at www.download.com

Install and update it

Then you can scan for virus and trojan for free

Answer 2

You need anti-virus software! Download, install and update AVG Anti-Virus - it's free and can be found here - http://www.vermontpcsolutions.com/tools_anti_virus.html

It's easy to install and use - to read about how to install AVG go here - http://www.vermontpcsolutions.com/how_to_install_avg_anti_virus.html

Then start the computer is Safe Mode - (usually this is accomplished by tapping the F8 key on your keyboard while the computer is starting up) - read more about starting a computer in Safe Mode here - http://www.vermontpcsolutions.com/how_to_start_in_safe_mode.html

Then run AVG and do a full system scan, let it find and remove any viruses it finds.

One other thing too, if you are running Windows XP, you should also remove your System Restore files. Viruses love to hide in them. To learn how to temporarily disable System Restore see this page - http://www.vermontpcsolutions.com/disabling_system_restore.html

Good Luck!

Answer 3

First of all, it is "Trojans", and yes, they did name it after the HORSE.
Secondly, it will require a scanning/cleanup program. If you do not own a good one (i.e. PCcillin, Norton, etc.) than you will have to download one from the Internet. I personally suggest Prevx1, it can catch a lot of things some do not. After you have loaded it, scan away, then delete any files you may find per the program's instructions.

Good luck, those buggers can be vicious.

Answer 4

Trogans? You mean viruses, spyware, and trojan horses. Lavasoft.com has a free download called AD-Aware that works nicely, and is fairly simple (even I could understand it) It will rid you of unwanted invasive software.

Answer 5

if you're looking specifically for trojans, as opposed to or in addition to viruses and worms, in addition to anti-virus and anti-spyware programs (and DO NOT download anything just because it's listed on Google or Yahoo...most of those are actually crapware in and of themselves)...go to a site like spywarewarrior.com and check their recommendations...there are a couple of more specialized programs out there too...I use, and like, A-squared free...the first couple of times I ran it, it found stuff other programs missed

Answer 6

Get an antivirus scanner program like AVG free version.
