Those
who are in the market for an anti-virus or anti-spyware program,
which will protect their computer from all the traps out there, are
at an unusual risk that they may not be aware of. On the web, there
are a number of rogue security programs being advertised and they
will do anything but protect a computer. The cold truth is that they
are designed to trick web users and if downloaded, they will slow
down their computers, bombard them with irritating pop-up ads, and
more importantly, they will often compromise their privacy.
SpyCrush
is one of these "fake" anti-spyware programs to be on the
lookout for. With a trojan, SpyCrush will install itself on your
computer and unless it's removed immediately, it can do tremendous
harm to your system.
SpyCrush
is likely a clone of VirusBurst. After all, it looks just like
VirusBurst and if you read the user agreement, VirusBurst is actually
in it. Essentially, this newer version of VirusBurst is a form of
"ransomware," because if a web surfer does install it,
instead of it scanning their computer for spyware and viruses and
promptly removing them, it will actually issue warnings titled
"Security Alert!" which advise them to then download the
full version of SpyCrush to correct the situation.
