VirusHeat Description

Spyware Image
VirusHeat, or VirusHeat v.3.9, is a rogue anti-spyware application designed to scare you into purchasing VirusHeat's full version with misleading warning messages that pop up on your Taskbar. VirusHeat is usually downloaded and installed via ZLOB/MediaAccess Codec installer from an adult site. Once you're infected, the Zlob Trojan will display misleading warning messages. VirusHeat warning messages claim that your computer is infected with dangerous parasites in an attempt to trick you into purchasing VirusHeat's commercial version. In addition, VirusHeat may generate annoying popup advertisements that may cause unstable system performance. VirusHeat is known to be a clone of AntiVirGear.
