A file scanned by Trojan Remover may contain Malware. The alert screen shows the file name and location, and which Malware (if identified). You have three 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; if there are further files to be scanned the scan will continue.
If the file being scanned has already been renamed by a previous Trojan Remover operation the Alert Screen will state this. You will not have the option to Rename this file, as it has already been renamed. When you are certain that the file is actually a malicious file, and not a valid system file which has been wrongly renamed, you should select the Delete option.
