Right-click your mouse on the file you wish to scan. You should see the option 'Scan with Trojan Remover'. Clicking on this option will start Trojan Remover and carry out an immediate scan on the highlighted file.

 

Should the file scanned appear to be a malware file, you will be presented with three different options:

 

Leave this file in place

Selecting this option will close the file-scan screen, and return you to the main Trojan Remover program. No action will be taken on the file.

 

Disable this file by renaming it

The file will be renamed so that it cannot be executed. If a file is suspicious, this is the best option to choose. You can then send a copy of the file to an anti-virus or trojan-scanner company (like Simply Super Software) for further analysis. A record of this rename operation will be written to the Trojan Remover logfile.

 

Delete this file (use with caution)

You should only select this option if you are absolutely positive that the file being scanned is Malware. A copy will NOT be sent to the recycle bin. Once you answer YES to the confirmation message the file will be deleted. A record of this file deletion will be written to the Trojan Remover logfile. THIS ACTION IS IRREVERSIBLE.

 

Once you have selected the desired option clicking on the OK button carries that operation out and returns you to the main Trojan Remover program.
