Remove Trojan completely - this is how it is done

If a Trojan got onto your PC or laptop, it is urgent to remove it completely again. The fastest and safest way to do this is with the help of a suitable program. How to use it and what other options are available, we show you here.

What is a Trojan

In detail, a Trojan is a malicious software, also called malware, which can cause serious problems on a PC or laptop. Often, Trojans enter the computer through emails or attachments and can delete, modify or block files. Also, Trojans access private data on the PC and severely limit the performance of the operating system.

How to completely remove existing Trojans from the computer

If you fear that there is a Trojan on your PC or laptop, it is important to find it and remove it completely. To do this, first disconnect your computer from the Internet by unplugging the LAN cable or disabling the WLAN.

1. After that, start an anti-malware program and run a detailed scan to find and remove the Trojan.
2. If no Trojans were found by the anti-malware program or if it could not be removed, please start Windows in Safe Mode and run the scan again.
3. If this does not help either, you have the option to perform a system restore and reset Windows to an earlier point in time.
4. If the Trojan could not be removed with any of the previous steps, your only remaining option is to reinstall Windows. However, this will not only delete the Trojan, but also all other files.
