Trojan horse and virus threats

Windows Defender warns me of multiple Trojan threats each day. Even after I have performed virus scans multiple times and removed all threats it shows me. What should I do to get rid of this.

You should use effective cybersecurity software should be your front line of protection. An effective internet security solution should run fast, frequent scans, and alert you as soon as a Trojan virus is detected.

You should never download or install software from a source you don’t trust completely, and never open an attachment or run a program sent to you in an email from someone you don’t know. Keep all software on your computer up to date with the latest patches. Make sure a Trojan antivirus is installed and running on your computer.

In this situation, you should take the help of paid antivirus software.

Then what about windows defender ? Is this not a good Antivirus?

Windows defender is fine for most people that are very careful in their daily surfing habits.

Seek out the free app called Malwarebytes and sac your pc.

Windows Defender is free to use you can use some alternate of windows defender.
Avast Free Antivirus.

To get rid of it, I would suggest having a full system scan.
Have you checked the files which were reported as viruses by the defender?
Are they removed from there?

Hi, man. It's a common problem for a lot of people to choose a good antivirus app. What do you think about the PCMatic antivirus? Here is a Nathan Collier article about this topic. I think that you need to read it because it will help you to figure out your problem with choosing a security app. Anyway, good luck with finding the right software, dude.

I agree with the post above. It is a widespread problem and I can recommend switching off the Windows Defender because I can't understand people who say that it is the best solution to fight against viruses and malware. It will be better to choose Kaspersky, Norton, or any antivirus from this list http://antivirusdoctor.net/.

The spyware programs are all seperate programs. Avast is the Anti Virus, and only looks for viruses. Malware and spyware are seperate issues that can do as much damage as viruses. You also need malwarebytes to combat them. Simply install both avast and malwarebytes and run one at a time and run them one at a time to check for spyware. If you also want spyware blaster(highly recommended on this site) should be installed last, after you have run your other programs,because you need to start it on a clean computer.
You can also choose Mcafee because there is not much of difference between Avast and Mcafee.
