Tron is an automated script that runs a sequenced collection of disinfection and cleanup utilities to remove malware and temporary files from a Windows system. It executes a multi-stage sequence of temp-file cleanup, malware scans, system repairs, and optimization tasks in a single unattended pass, and can detect a prior incomplete run to restart from the last successfully completed stage while preserving previously used command-line switches.

The tool runs multiple anti-virus and anti-rootkit scanners in sequence, including MBAM, AdwCleaner, KVRT, Sophos, TDSS Killer, and McAfee Stinger, to clean up viruses, spyware, and other malicious software. It also restores default file and registry permissions to undo changes made by malware or user misconfiguration, and can disable non-essential Windows services and scheduled tasks to free up system resources.

Beyond security, Tron handles system maintenance by removing accumulated temporary files and cache, resetting the page file to Windows-managed settings, and defragmenting the system drive while automatically skipping solid-state drives. It can repair Windows system files, disk errors, network settings, and file extensions, disable telemetry and upgrade nagging, and remove manufacturer-installed programs and Metro apps using customizable blacklists. The script also applies updates to 7-Zip, Adobe Flash Player, and Windows, optionally runs bundled WSUS Offline update packages, and executes any user-supplied batch files placed in a designated folder just before the script finishes. After completion, it generates a log of all actions taken and can email a summary report or upload debug logs to the project maintainer.
