InstallMonster is not a trojan but potentially unwanted application. They have been actively trying to avoid detection by AVs for a long time.

Thanks for your response, it means if we check with customer that the feature "Detection PUA" is enable, so this InstallMonster will be can cleaned?

Hard to say if it would be detected. As I wrote, they have been very active in evading detection. It's a PUA so even if it was present on a computer, it wouldn't pose a risk since it's not malware. If you know that it's there, you can try to uninstall it via the Control panel or remove it manually.
