- Change log not available for this version


Trojan Remover 6.9.5 Build 2960
- New: added options for the Logon and Daily FastScans to Run Silent, i.e invisible, but if an alert or dialog needs to be shown then the FastScan will automatically become visible. Running Silent becomes the default for new installations
- Update: changes to the licence key entry screen to provide better indication of possible typing errors when entering the key
- Fix: when running silent the Updater would detect minor program component updates were available but would not install them automatically, nor show itself to allow a manual update to be completed

- Fix: Scheduled Tasks running signed Microsoft programs were not being correctly scanned for ancillary malware possibilities.

- New: added scanning routine to check for browsers launched via Scheduled Tasks to open either malicious, or adware-dependent, web pages
- Fix: the update to version 6.9.5.2957 broke updates on Windows Vista due to the way that system checks digital signatures.
