It protects your system from Trojan horses, which are destructive programs that masquerade as friendly applications.

Editor's review of The Cleaner Professional
This utility both scans your machine for malicious programs and offers a real-time shield, but neither demonstrates particularly impressive performance. The Cleaner Professional's interface is simple enough to understand but could still benefit from some design tweaks. For instance, when you initiate a scan, the main control panel disappears and another window pops up; we don't understand why everything can't be integrated into one place. The application's definitions database doesn't look as comprehensive as some of its competitors and may be partially to blame for its lukewarm performance. The real-time protection module let in several well-known offenders during testing, and the scanner failed to remove a good deal of the malicious programs we purposefully installed. Still, we do appreciate features such as a scheduler and a quarantine manager. In light of its stiff competition, The Cleaner Professional comes off as a strictly mediocre pick.
