| Trojan Hunter |
 TrojanHunter searches for and removes trojans on your system. It uses powerful scanning techniques such as file, memory, registry, port and ini-file scanning to locate trojans on your system. Rule files are easily updated with the LiveUpdate utility, and on top of this, the user interface is user-friendly!
Trojan
horses, in computer terms, are programs that contain harmful code
inside apparently "harmless" files. Their effects are wide and varied. Once
infected, a computer can become a relay, controlled by an exterior,
unauthorized person to perform attacks on other computers. Further, a set
of instructions can be included to have it destroy files on the infected
computer. They can stop antiviruses, firewalls or other protection software
from loading. These are just some examples of what trojans can do.
There are many ways a trojan can infect your system. Vulnerabilities in the
operating system, email attachments or directly running a seemingly
harmless "picture" or program are all ways you can become infected. Trojan
writers try to trick unsuspecting users into executing the trojan's carrier
(the file that contains the malicious code). They use all sorts of methods
to achieve that goal. Some of these methods are rather obvious, but most
aren't.
Trojan Hunter is designed to clean such
infections. It is fast, extremely effective, uses few resources and has one
of the best scanning engines of its class. Its database of targeted trojans
is the largest of any trojan detection product. The Live Update feature
makes it simple to update its rule sets. It has a resident monitor to
protect your computer in real time. Scanning a specific file is as easy as
right clicking it and choosing "Scan with TrojanHunter". The program itself
is easy to operate. Its modular design allows for user control over what is
seen and how the information is displayed. It also incorporates a set of
extra tools for advanced users to help better understand what is going on
in your system. A very well written help file, frequent updates, excellent
support and a trojan forum all make this a must-have program for users of
all skill levels.
Bottom line: Simple to use, efficient, lightweight and powerful. It is a
favorite of the AntiSlyware reviewers and has Tom Coyote's personal stamp of
approval. It is a leader in its class and well priced for the AntiSlyware's
readers.
