If you suspect your computer is infected, it's crucial to take action promptly to minimize potential damage.

  3. Uninstall Suspicious Programs: Go through your installed programs and uninstall anything that looks suspicious or unfamiliar. Be cautious, as some malware may disguise itself as legitimate software.
  4. Reset Your Browser: Resetting your web browser (such as Chrome, Firefox, or Edge) to its default settings can help remove any malicious extensions or settings that the Trojan may have installed. You can usually find this option in the browser's settings or preferences menu.
  5. Reboot and Re-scan: After taking the above steps, reboot your computer and run another scan with your anti-malware tool to ensure that the Trojan and any associated malware have been completely removed.
