Like most people I run several applications that remove spyware and adware. Currently I run Spybot, Ad-Aware, Spyware Blaster and Microsoft Antispyware. I run each of these at least once a week and felt fairly safe until a couple of days ago when I came across a positive review of The Cleaner which is a tool focused on removing trojans, worms and keyloggers. I figured since I run four other programs that my machine would be very clean and I didn’t expect The Cleaner to find anything.
So I was shocked when I ran the Cleaner and it found 17 trojans, most of which were infested in my Windows/system32 directory. The program can take a while to scan your entire system especially if you have a large drive but it’s well worth installing in my opinion. It quickly removed all trojans on my system and I’ve noticed a slight increase in the speed of my system as well.
