If you have good antivirus software installed, it’s easy to get rid of a Trojan. Run a full system scan to identify the virus and then delete the virus. If nothing is detected by the software but you have a strong hunch that there’s something in your system, reach out to the vendor’s customer support immediately.
How to keep your system protected?
- A major step is to install a security suite on your computer. You’ll be able to run complete system scan regularly by setting them up to certain intervals. You don’t have to manually schedule a scan since the software will do it for you and let you know if it detects any virus.
- Avoid unreliable websites that could harm your computer. Many antivirus suites will include a feature that will alert you if the website you want to visit poses threats.
- Update your operating system as soon as possible. Hackers and cybercriminals will exploit loopholes found in software programs that are not up-to-date. Aside from system updates, you also need to check for individual software updates on the programs and apps on your device.
- Use unique and complex passwords to protect your accounts and save these passwords with a trusted password manager.
- Do not click links or download email attachments from unknown sources or sources you don’t trust.
- Keep your personal details safe by enabling your firewall.
