At Security Cadets someone using the name ‘VirusRescue’ posted refuting the information AndyAtHull had posted.
VirusRescue is not a Trojan and is not a rogue software. VirusRescue really removes all the infections from your PC and has on of the best scanning & detection engines in industry and is supported by daily database updates. It removes everything including mentioned SpywareQuake. VirusRescue has nothing to do with Spyheal and SpywareQuake.
suzi responded:
To VirusRescue:VirusRescue qualifies as rogue software based on it’s distribution methods regardless of its ability to clean spyware/viruses. Your program is being *PROMOTED* by malware — the fake codecs that are Zlob variants.
If you have this pest on your computer you can go to one of the Security Forums listed here in the right side panel for advice in it’s removal and to see if any other undesirables are lurking.
