Trojans are known for stealing data and messing with your private information that can bring your business to its knees. A Trojan is a specialized malicious program or file which is used to take control of the infected device. It is almost impossible to remove Trojans from a device manually, especially if you are not a technically skilled person. A good antivirus can remove all Trojans from your device without much effort at all.

McAfee is one of the best antiviruses known for killing the Trojans. Let’s get started.

Using McAfee Internet Security to Destroy Trojans

To follow this tutorial, first, you need to install the McAfee antivirus into your device. Then you can proceed further. Here’s how to use McAfee to remove Trojans:

Launch the antivirus using the McAfee desktop icon.
Hit the Scan button.
Choose the “Full Scan” option to find all Trojans located in your drive. Quick Scan only identifies threats on your system drive, but the Full Scan checks the whole device.
Now hit the “Start” option appearing on the screen after choosing the Full Scan option.
Now, wait till the scan completes. Please don’t stop or pause the scanning process as it can result in missing some viruses in your device.
Once the scan is completed, go to the “Scan completed” option by doing a double click on it. Then navigate to “Details.”
Now tap the “Viruses and Trojans” option to see the detected Trojans on your device.
Hit the “Remove All” button to delete them completely.
