What is Trojanskiller?

 Trojanskiller is a rogue anti-spyware program. The most probable ways of getting infected by trojanskiller are through various heinous mechanisms, especially Trojans, such as Zlob.

 

 Once installed Trojanskiller gives you a false notification claiming that your computer has been infected. This is usually done via pop-ups and system notifications. Then it provides you with a supposed way to get rid of the infection by directing you to a trial version of Trojanskiller, which, after having scanned your PC, gives a false and exaggerated report in hope of making you believe that a serious security threat exists.

 

 Afterwards you are offered to buy the full version of Trojanskiller, which is no more functional than the trial version.

 

 The existence of Trojanskiller on your computer is extremely detrimental as it compromises the security of your private information, creates a risk for your browser to get hijacked and other malicious software, such as spyware and adware to be installed. Trojanskiller should be removed upon detection.
