VirusHeat. Can’t say it enough, Rogue!
VirusHeat is installed on your computer when you download and install a Trojan masquerading as a video or audio codec required to view a movie on the Internet. These fake codecs are know as Zlob Trojans. Once you install these programs, though, they install VirusHeat onto your computer along with other malware without your permission.
When the Zlob Trojan is installed, it automatically downloads and installs VirusHeat onto your computer. It will then configure your computer to automatically start another Trojan that displays fake security alerts in your taskbar that states you are infected or have some other security problem on your computer. When you click these alerts, VirusHeat automatically opens and scans your computer. This scan will not only display fake and exaggerated results, but will also find the Trojan that installed it in the first place. The scam, though, is that in order to remove anything you must first pay for the commercial version of this software. It goes without saying that by no means should you purchase this scamware.
