VirusHeal Description

Spyware Image
VirusHeal is a rogue anti-virus program that displays a fake icon on your system tray stating that your computer is infected with spyware. VirusHeal will use fake security messages to urge you to download their software and will prompt you into purchasing the full version of VirusHeal. VirusHeal may try to dowload itself by using drive-by download methods. VirusHeal will also launch on every Windows startup and may display excessive popup ads. VirusHeal may be difficult to remove manually because it has the ability to recreate itself.

The most common spyware removal tactic is to uninstall VirusHeal by using the "Add/Remove Programs" utility. However, as there may still be hidden VirusHeal files, it's possible that VirusHeal will reappear after reboot. Follow the VirusHeal detection and removal methods below.
