7 Tips to Remove Trojan Virus in Your Computer

Executive Summary about Antivirus By Pinky Mcbanon

There are many Trojan viruses circulating in the Internet these days, and information about Trojan viruses is the key to combating an attack on your computer by these viruses. Let us look at what the term Trojan Virus means and what it does your computer.
Like the Trojan Horse of yore, a Trojan virus always comes masquerading as something desirable - for example, several Trojan horses exist that appear to be tools that can speed up your computer or give you a better browsing experience. The attack is not confined to your computer alone - the remote user can use your computer to attack other computers. Trojan viruses usually create entries in the registry so that they are run at startup.
Here are some steps you could use to get rid of a resident Trojan virus from your computer:
1. Anti-Virus Scan - Most Trojans can be detected and removed by anti-virus software. But Trojan virus programs are capable of replicating the links if they detect a missing file.
2. Scan for Auto-running Programs - If the Trojan still exists, you may have to use a program to detect software that starts up automatically. Use Start->Run->Regedit to edit the registry.
3. Remove Trojans from Registry - Check HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion\Run for any keys containing Trojan viruses and delete them.
4. Reboot In Normal Mode.
