VirusHeat - How to remove February 8, 2008 By Giedrius Majauskas VirusHeat (a.k.a VirusHeat 3.9, VirusHeat 4.3 and, more recently, VirusHeat 4.4) is the newest threat from rogue anti-spyware manufacturers. Easy to mistake for VirusHeal, since not only is the name different by just one letter, but its features aren’t much better either. The alerts claim that your PC is infected with various trojans, including smithfraud.G, which is a hoax used by malware vendors. VirusHeat is most commonly installed with the help of Zlob or by downloading it from virusheat.com (85.225.120.53). Their website does not look like anything original, and is full of false claims. According to the content, the "company" is based in Riga, Latvia and was created in 2000. However, they fail even the basic security tests. 1. Domain bought only a month ago – internet security companies buy out their name earlier.2. They are hosted not in the USA or Latvia, but in Ukraine together with many other rogues3. Their payments are processed by www.segpay.com – a carding site, its unsafe to provide your credit card details there4. They push other rogue products like Total Cleaner. You should therefore avoid this scam and not download Virusheat. This scamware should be removed as soon as possible, and if you have paid for it, contact your credit card company to avoid further money loss.Smithfraudfix provides half automated removal, manual removal instructions are as follows: Automatic Malware removal tools Download Spyhunter for Malware detection(Win) Note: Spyhunter trial provides detection of parasites and assists in their removal for free. limited trial available, Terms of use, Privacy Policy, Uninstall Instructions, Download Combo Cleaner for Malware detection(Mac) Note: Combo Cleaner trial provides detection of parasites and assists in their removal for free. limited trial available, Terms of use, Privacy Policy, Uninstall Instructions, Refund Policy , Manual removal Processes: virusheat.exe VirusHeat 3.9.exe VirusHeat 4.3.exe VirusHeat 4.4.exe Dll: vpccw.dll gusur.dll axdpfl.dll svxmhpz.dll wowlze.dll uglgs.dll ivrllc.dll wxinptv.dll monem.dll ymmzwd.dll iinqyl.dll ecxwp.dll tvtpwp.dll cjuvwa.dll gnjsjc.dll fsehfcu.dll fftktmk.dll ryxrho.dll wuuawkz.dll eeioq.dll foundbadfile1.dll foundbadfile2.dll txdkfh.dll wbchha.dll heuvth.dll lruvqvw.dll xskmoqx.dll guadq.dll jdxah.dll wcscqa.dll lvhjtsa.dll baoohy.dll Files: virusheat.exe VirusHeat 3.9.exe VirusHeat 4.3.exe C:\\Program Files\\VirusHeat 3.9 C:\\Program Files\\VirusHeat 4.3 iinqyl.dll ecxwp.dll tvtpwp.dll cjuvwa.dll gnjsjc.dll fsehfcu.dll fftktmk.dll ryxrho.dll vpccw.dll gusur.dll axdpfl.dll svxmhpz.dll wowlze.dll uglgs.dll ivrllc.dll wxinptv.dll monem.dll ymmzwd.dll VirusHeat 4.3.exe VirusHeat 4.3.lnk VirusHeat 4.3.url Uninstall VirusHeat 4.3.lnk Registers: dec5caa7-8045-495c-8034-35aff489fedf d8b937a4-cdad-497b-a872-8da7c4c3ef6f 0123eb75-964c-4cb3-b796-431cc9099570 5c770fbc-cc2f-4acd-93e8-e6f0594307fd aaad3a22-1c07-45f5-bfb3-e9a8c3b382fe 3750da11-9b0c-4a75-9c8a-bbcbfcd1ccea C78E49C0-AB82-4C79-A189-F1E34980643B D2A0598F-FBC4-4721-BC85-F75C0712C100 fce1c203-ff2b-4ec1-9983-e2900d29bbd8 67dc0736-075a-4647-95f5-d5421b838fed Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\App Paths\\VirusHeat 3.9.exe HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall\\VirusHeat VirusHeat facts Type: Rogue Anti-Spyware Download Spyhunter for Malware detection(Win) Note: Spyhunter trial provides detection of parasites and assists in their removal for free. limited trial available, Terms of use, Privacy Policy, Uninstall Instructions, Download Combo Cleaner for Malware detection(Mac) Note: Combo Cleaner trial provides detection of parasites and assists in their removal for free. limited trial available, Terms of use, Privacy Policy, Uninstall Instructions, Refund Policy , TOC 23 responses to “VirusHeat” I would like to remove the Virusheat net page from my computer headings how can I do it?

If your not sure you can sue panda’s totalscan free service to check just in case My boyfriend bought VirusHeat. I already deleted VirusHeat from the computer. Is there anything we can do about his credit card and the charges? Yes, you should contact the bank and process a chargeback. Also, double check your CC statement for unusual charges- the payment system they use are one of their own, so these scammers might keep your credit card details. If there is an unusual charge or something suspicious, just tell about it your bank, and they will replace your boyfriends credit card and in many cases give money back.

I’m sick of Virus Heat. Its really bugging me. i know my way around a computer, disabling it in MSConfig, CTL ALT Delete, ending process tree of anything not essential, BUT IT STILL REMAINS.
