One of the most evil and insidious things ever invented was the Trojan Horse Virus.
What demented person thought of this is beyond comprehension. The Trojan Horse Virus
infiltrates your entire computer system and affects your ability to surf rapidly
online and in worst case scenarios it can cause your entire system to crash,
permanently deleting any stored data in your hard drive.
There are some easy steps you can take for Trojan Horse Virus removal if you want to
save all of your data and installed software. If you take your computer to a repair
shop or the Geek Squad they will want to erase your entire hard drive after saving
valuable documents. After that they will re-install your operating system software
and make your computer virus free. The problem with that method is that it is
expensive, time consuming, and you can never recover your installed applications.
Unless you have the original application software installation disks and the
registration number to go with it, you will have to purchase those programs again.
That can run into the hundreds and even thousands of dollars if you have a lot of
expensive programs installed like Photoshop, Dreamweaver, InDesign, ProSeries, or
many others.
You can also just download a virus cleaner called Combofix and run it. That will
solve most problems and execute the Trojan Horse Virus removal that you want. If your
computer is frozen or unable to connect to the internet, which happens a lot with
Trojan Horse Virus infections, you can go to another computer and do a google search
for combofix. Download the free program from that site and put it onto a flash drive.
Before using the Combofix on your infected computer you will need to uninstall any
virus protection program that you have installed. Since whatever program you have
installed obviously did not work, you will not miss it when you uninstall it. You are
now ready to perform the Trojan Horse Virus removal.
Take the flash drive and put it into the USB port of the infected computer. Copy
Combofix onto the infected computer’s desktop. Open the program called Combofix and
let it run. Several windows may pop up and always hit “Yes” or “Run”. Once the
program starts running do not touch it or open any other windows. This program takes
a bit of time but when you are done it will have effectively performed Trojan Horse
Virus removal and removal of any other malware or spyware that was inadvertently
installed on your computer.
You can run Combofix as many times as you want. It is recommended to also download a
free copy of Avast and install that onto your computer. This will effectively block
any further malware from attacking your computer.
