VirusBurst Removal Instructions

Why is it important to remove VirusBurst?

VirusBurst is an illegal and corrupt anti-spyware program!

VirusBurst pretends to act like an anti-spyware program, but it’s a very dangerous program that may scare you with false alerts so you’ll buy their software. Once you click on the fake message, you’ll be taken to VirusBurst’s website. VirusBurst may not really clean your computer, but may actually impair your computer, stealing your money.

VirusBurst is part of a group of rogue anti-spyware applications which falsely report spyware infections, then offer to remove the alleged spyware for a fee. Rogue anti-spyware applications similar to VirusBurst include SpywareQuake, Pest Trap and VirusBurst.

*Note: Symptoms tend to vary depending on software installed on your system and other system factors.

VirusBurst Manual Detection

If you’ve discovered that VirusBurst has infected your PC, you must act quickly and take the proper steps to eliminating the infection. Note: The manual removal of any parasite is difficult. To avoid the unnecessary risk of damaging your computer, we advise you to download SpyHunter’s spyware scanner tool to automatically detect VirusBurst.

To manually remove VirusBurst, follow these removal steps:

Step #1: Remove VirusBurst with Windows Add/Remove Programs utility.

Sometimes all it takes to get rid of spyware like VirusBurst is to remove the program using the Add/Remove Programs control panel in Windows.

1. In Windows XP Professional, click on Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
2. In Windows 2000 Professional / Windows ME / Windows 98, click on Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.
3. In the list of programs, search for the software you want to remove. If you see a program you don’t recognize or don’t recall installing, look it up in Google to learn what it is.
4. Select the questionable program and remove it with the Remove button.

Step #2: Kill VirusBurst using the Windows Task Manager

To kill a VirusBurst process that has infected your computer, you will need to use the Windows Task Manager to check by process, highlight the process in question, and then end the task. To do this:

1. Press CTRL+ALT+DEL or CTRL+SHIFT+ESC on the keyboard.
2. Click on Processes Tab to see all active tasks. For easier detection, left click the process under the heading Image Name.
3. Find and kill the following VirusBurst process:

4. Once you’ve identified the VirusBurst process, press DEL on your keyboard or click End Process to kill it from your system.

Step #3: Use PsKill to Kill a Process

Sometimes a parasite can disable your Windows Task Manager so you can use pslist and pskill (a third party application by Mark Russinovich) to list and kill the unwanted processes.

1. Download PsKill or PsList.
2. Extract the program from the .Zip archive.
3. Move pskill.exe to your C: drive.

   If the file was successfully removed, PsKill will say “process VirusBurst.exe killed”.
