How to remove VirusRescue?
What is VirusRescue?
VirusRescue is a rogue anti-spyware application that scans for and
removes spyware from a user‘s computer. The application is distributed by the Zlob
Trojan, which hides behind a media codec. One of the possibilities to get
Spyware on the system lies in the trick to install a codec. If a film on a web
page is shown, the user is asked to install a program, so that he/she could
watch this film. A
few minutes later comes the first Popup, with the warning that there is spyware
on the system. The user is asked to buy the VirusRescue spyware remover in
order to clean the computer from spyware.

VirusRescue is classified as Rogue Anti-Spyware. After infecting a user’s system, it proceeds to scare its victim into buying the “product” by displaying fake security messages, stating that your computer is infected with spyware and only VirusRescue can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads VirusRescue trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, VirusRescue offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, VirusRescue does not only fix the errors, but it also takes the user’s money and may even install additional spyware into the victim’s computer.
Some Rogue Anti-Spyware, such as VirusRescue, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet. Usually, a Trojan is installed to a victim’s computer after clicking on the advertisement. It then proceeds to download or even install VirusRescue, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.
Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as VirusRescue, is nearly impossible to remove manually.
