How to remove VirusTrigger (Delete instructions)

Myantispyware team November 13, 2008     1 Comment    

VirusTrigger is a fake (rogue) antispyware program. It is new version of Virus Response Lab 2009. VirusTrigger is automatically installed by a Zlob trojan (fake audio or video codec). Once infected, your computer will display fake security alert:

System Alert!
Your system might be infected with malicious software that may impact the performance of your computer. Click the icon for a free scan to detect any active spyware applications.

Immediately after launch, VirusTrigger starts scanning the computer and found a lot of trojans and spyware.

Then, it said that you should purchase VirusTrigger in order to remove them and protect your PC. Computer users are urged to avoid purchasing this bogus program!

VirusTrigger generates false security alerts such as the following:

Virus Trigger Alert

INFILTRATION ALERT
Your computer is being attacked from Internet. It
could be a password-stealing attack, a trojan-
drooper and so on.

DETAILS
Attack from: 253.122.113.217, port 15589
Attacked porn: 10554
Threat: Exploit.W97.Ginwui.Gen

Do you want VirusTrigger to block this attack?

These fake alerts may drastically slow the performance of your computer.
