where can I download free software to get rid of a trojan horse on my pc?

Question

I currently use spy sweeper but it dos'nt seem to get rid of this program and some other malware and spyware please help

Answer 1

here is a list of free tools

Answer 2

AVG

Do the google search.

My real solution is to think outside the Microsoft 'box', and run only the Operating Systems with programs, that are immune to the "114,000 Microsoft Virus Definitions" that include Trojans, and have back doors, and like to collect malware.

I run http://pclinuxos.com in the CDrom, it boots in RAM, and I have all access to the hard drives, without the malware!

It does run upto 50X faster installed, icon is on the screen, read the guide, first. It can take over the drive, wiping out the old system, or, it can partition a 6 Gb space all to itself.

Forum and help is on the website.

Includes 5500 free games, programs, apps, browsers, suites.

Answer 3

Trojan is a virus and spy-sweeper is an anti-spyware. AVG Free 7.5.4 is an excellent anti-virus and is better than most of the paid lot.
U can download it from Grisoft.com or Download.com.
Hope it helps!! Good Luck!!

Answer 5

switch off System Restore as back up files may be hiding in there, and it will just restore itself. Go to Start - programs - accessories - system tools - system restore.
Run your anti virus and anti spyware in Safe Mode. To get into Safe Mode repeatedly press the F8 key after the bios screen loads but before Windows loads. You'll know if you made it because the screen will be at 800 x 600 and your pc will be slow.

Then beef up your security. Its easier to prevent malware getting on to your sytem in the first place rather than trying to remove it. All the following programs are free for home use;

You need to install one firewall.
The Windows firewall doesn't stop malware on your pc from dialling out.

http://www.comodogroup.com/ - Comodo firewall.

You need to install one anti virus;
http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/ -AVG anti virus or
http://www.avast.com - Avast Antivirus

http://www.bitdefender.co.uk/site/Main/view/Download-Free-Products.html - Bitdefender 8 doesn't run in the background and can be used as a second back up anti virus.

You need all these anti spyware programs;
http://www.ewido.net - AVG(Ewido) anti trojan.
http://www.safer-networking.org - Spybot Search and Destroy anti spyware. Use the Teatimer settings to protect Internet Explorer, and the Immuniser to stop malware getting on your pc.
Spywareblaster works with Internet Explorer and Firefox. It won't uninstall spyware that is already on your pc, but it will prevent hijacks and other malicious changes to your browser.

Answer 7

First identify the trojan then search the web for a trojan removal tool like from Symantec.

Answer 8

try spyware terminator, or spybot search and destroy, both are very good, and free!
before that though, look for prevx, download and install, this will eradicate any stuff that shouldn't be there (It's free to use for 30 days!)

then use a free virus scanner like AVG and Zonealarm (Both Free to use!)
