VirusIsolator - how easy is to clone another rogue

VirusIsolator is another rogue antispyware which was created to scare users. It is low budget project - standard rogue website with the common “90% of computers are infected” threat. Most of the users would not signup at such poor Virus Isolator website, but some of them might fall for popups, distributed with help of trojans. The logos of “awards” are more than funny, as none of the sites mentioned distribute VirusIsolator, and some will surely list it as unrecomended application soon enough.

VirusIsolator owners havent managed to get a legitimate payment solution for their “business” even. And that gives them away: they use the same engine as SpySnipe, which is different skin of rogue spyware remover. Mainbillingcenter.com is nothing but website used for rogue scams exclusively and can not be trusted. They have no frontpage, only biling pages. Funny thing, the pages are not really functional as well, there is little distinguishing between products (only messages change).

If you have fallen for this scam, here are VirusIsolator removal instructions. Also, one should upgrade definitions of ones antivirus or anti-spyware solution if it is not done automatically.
