Hi,
I'm very happy with your performance. I'll be a customer for life. Winctrl32.dll has gone. I have 4 other Bought and Paid for Malware programs
that I have but none are as good as yours and none have the same individual response times as good as
yours. Some do not respond to help At All.
Great job!

Trojan
A trojan is a program that is disguised as legitimate software but is designed to carry out some harmful actions on the infected computer.
Unlike viruses and worms, trojans don’t replicate but they can be just as destructive.
These days trojans are very common. Trojans are divided into a number different categories based on their function or type of damage.
Backdoor
Of all trojans, backdoor trojans pose the greatest danger to users’ PCs because they give their authors remote control over infected computers. They are downloaded, installed, and run silently, without the user’s consent or knowledge. Upon installation, backdoor trojans can be instructed to send, receive, execute and delete files, gather and transfer confidential data from the computer, log all activity on the computer, and perform other harmful activities.
Hijacker
Software that seizes control of a computer’s resources to proliferate itself or use them for other malicious purposes.
There are several types of hijackers. The most common are:
- Browser hijackers – Alters the existing Internet browser settings so that a user is redirected to unwanted or malicious Web sites. These include programs that change the browser Home page or replace a popular search service’s home page with its own fake copy, whose search results point to particular malicious or irrelevant sites.
- Autorun hijackers – Automatically run certain programs on start-up of a user’s computer.
