FAQs

How can I get rid of a trojan?

There’s no easier way than downloading a trojan scanner and removal tool, like Avast One. But if you want to learn how to identify and remove a trojan (or any other kind of virus) from a specific type of device, we’ve got you covered:

Can a Mac or mobile device get trojans, too?

If you ever connect your device to the internet, then yes, it’s at risk. Mac attacks have been growing over the past few years. And while Android devices are more at-risk than iPhones/iPads, iOS devices are still vulnerable to other security threats.

Is Windows Defender enough to protect my PC?

Windows Defender lacks many essential features that other free antiviruses offer, and it sometimes even blocks clean files that you can trust. For best results, use a free trojan scanner and remover like Avast One to stay safe.

What are trojans and how do they spread?

A trojan is a type of malware that gets into your computer much like its ancient Greek namesake. It disguises itself as something friendly or desirable, then sneaks into your device when you finish your download. Trojans can be attached to emails, posted on file-sharing sites, or found in illicit storefronts.

What are the signs of spyware infection?

There’s no easier way than downloading a trojan scanner and removal tool, like Avast One. But if you want to learn how to identify and remove a trojan (or any other kind of virus) from a specific type of device, we’ve got you covered:

Is a trojan horse a virus?

A trojan is not a virus. Viruses are designed to replicate and spread within a network, but trojans do not replicate. A trojan horse is a type of malware that appears to be a legitimate program or app, and it relies on social engineering to trick you into installing a fake app containing malware. Trojans and other malware like worms are not viruses, but they can be just as destructive.

System requirements

We’re not demanding. All you need is a PC with Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8 or 7*, 1 GB RAM 
and 2 GB of hard disk space. And that’s it.

* Both the 32- and 64-bit versions, excluding Starter and RT editions.

Windows 10 compatible
