Remove Trojan Virus From Windows 10:

Working on the internet is surrounded by a multitude of security risks in the form of digital identity thieves, spyware, and more so from Viruses, Worms or Trojans that may possibly result in the breach of security parameters causing a loss of propriety information.

I too had encountered such a situation when a Trojan affected my PC’s performance immensely. I wanted to find a fix for this issue, due to which I did some data mining and engaged with a couple of software engineers to have their views, and the feasible solutions that I came across to remove Trojan Virus from Windows 10 actually helped me resolve the issue of Trojan that infected my PC.

So, I am sharing by means of the following detailed discussion several ways by which a Trojan can be treated which you may also find pretty useful.

By Scanning Your System Using Windows Defender

Windows Defender Scan is a free scanning option available on Windows. After you are over with scanning your PC or laptop using Windows Defender, the Trojan infecting your system will either get quarantined or removed.

Follow the following steps to run Windows Defender.

Step 1: Press the Start button on the Windows Desktop screen and search Windows Defender Security Center, and click on it now.

Step 2: Now click on Virus & Threat Protection option available on the Menu bar on the top left panel.

Step 3: Go to the Advanced Scan option and then click on Full Scan. 

Step 4: Now, press the Scan Now option to start the process of scanning.

Running Windows Defender in Offline Mode

You may, alternatively, execute an offline Windows Defender Scan to remove Trojan viruses from Windows 10. But this alternative process may take a long time when you are prompted to restart the system while offline Windows Defender Scan is underway.

Here is how you can perform a Windows Defender Offline Scan.

Step 1: Again go to Virus & Threat Protection option on the Menu bar top left panel after opening Windows Defender Security.

Step 2: Select the option of Windows Defender Offline Scan by clicking on the relevant Check Box. Click on Scan Now to start the scanning process.

Using an Antivirus Software

Using antivirus software is also a very common and effective way to remove Trojan Virus from Windows 10. It can either be purchased online or from a local computer vendor. Many versions of Antivirus Software are available free while other latest versions are to be paid for.

Here is the process of installing the antivirus software and running the System Scan.

Step 1: Download the free version of antivirus software from the internet.

Step 2: Alternatively, extract the copy of the executable file of your antivirus software.

Step 3: Initiate the process of installing the antivirus software by opening the executable file and running the Antivirus Software wizard.

Step 4: After the antivirus software is installed, click on the system scan tab or button to take forward the virus scanning process. (Remember the System Scan option may be known by some other name also as the antivirus software is provided by different companies). 

Running Your System in Safe Mode

Many a time your system may prevent your antivirus to execute a System scan, which can be fixed by running your laptop or PC in Safe Mode.

Here is how you can run your system in Safe Mode.

Step 1: Simultaneously, press the Windows icon along with R.

Step 2: Type Msconfig and press Enter.

Step 3: Now click on the Boot tab and click on Safe Boot to run your system in Safe Mode.

Uninstalling and Resetting the Windows 10

Even if the Trojan could not be treated by following the above steps, then in such a scenario you can reset your Windows 10 after uninstalling it and subsequently allowing Windows Defender to scan your laptop.
