Trojan Remover is configured to check for updates daily. You can enable/disable this update check, and set the preferred time for the update checks, by selecting Settings | Update Settings in the main Trojan Remover program.

 

If you want to check for updates more frequently than Daily, then you can manually create additional Scheduled Tasks to do this. Here are the detailed instructions you will need:

 

Windows 7/Windows 8/Windows 10

On Windows 7, open the Windows Task Scheduler by going to: START > Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Administrative Tools, then double-click "Task Scheduler" (if User Account Control is enabled, you will see a UAC elevation prompt).

 

On Windows 8/10/11+ click Start and type "schedule" in the empty box then select Task Scheduler from the results.

 

When the Task Scheduler screen appears, in the "Action" box on the right-hand side click on Create Basic Task....

 

On the screen that comes up, type in a useful name and description for the task (we use "Trojan Remover Scheduled Updates", and "Automatically checks for updates at the selected date/time"), then click the Next button. On the next two screens, select when you want the Updater to run. When scheduling the updater, ensure you choose a time when you know the PC will be running and connected to the Internet.

 

On the next screen, in answer to the question "What action do you want the task to perform?", select Start a program, then click the Next button.

 

On the "Start a Program" screen click on the Browse button. A window will open allowing you to browse for a program. Go to the directory that Trojan Remover is installed in (C:\Program Files\Trojan Remover by default on 32bit systems, C:\Program Files (x86)\Trojan Remover on 64bit systems) and double-click on trupd.exe (or just trupd, if you have the option to hide known file extensions enabled in Windows Explorer). This will place the full path to the filename into the "Start a Program" screen, looking like:

 

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Trojan Remover\trupd.exe"

 

Of course it may differ on your PC if you have installed Trojan Remover to a different directory.

 

Next, in the "Add arguments (optional)" box, type /silent - this ensures that the Updater works without requiring prompting. Here's a screenshot:

 

Click the Next button. On the last screen, check the box labeled 'Open the Properties dialog for this task when I click Finish', then click Finish. In the Properties screen that appears, on the General tab, check the box labeled 'Run with highest privileges', then click OK. The task is now scheduled.
