How do i delete the following http://www.virusheat.com/?aff=... is in my system tray & a ballon pops up?

a ballon pops up in the task bar on the lower right hand of my screen....thanks to one and all...tony

if you use anti spyware, run a scan and delete everything it detects. if you don't have anti spyware installed on your machine, try manual virus heat removal: http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-virushea...
hope this helps.

If you have downloaded this program, go into Add Remove Programs in the Control Panel and remove the program. I would also run your anti spyware software just to make sure that there isn't any spyware/malware that came along with this "Virusheat" thing.

Remove virus heat.

Phony "balloon" pop-ups from the tray (by the clock) about a trojan, virus or spyware infection and the attempt to sell you some useless software to "fix" the problem usually indicates that your computer has one of two kinds of infection. Either Smitfraud or Vundo.

DO NOT BUY THE PRODUCT THEY TRY TO SELL YOU! IT IS SCAM.

Almost all "general purpose","all-in one" spyware and virus removal programs such as Adaware 2007, Norton, McAfee or Spybot S & D cannot remove Smitfraud or Vundo. A specialised removal tool will be needed. A good removal tool that specialises in removing these 2 types of infections is RogueRemover Free:
http://www.malwarebytes.org/rogueremover...

After running RogueRemover, to clean-up any remaining infection traces, scan for trojans,
and spyware etc and remove (free online scan, no downloaded program) with Ewido Online Scanner ( now known as AVG Anti-Spyware). This is NOT the same as AVG Anti-Virus. Press "Scan your computer now online and clean it for free!" on the left.

VirusHeat 4.3 is the latest clone of well known VirusProtect rogue antispyware. It generates false positives to trick users into buying full commercial version of this useless program. VirusHeat 4.3 can also hijack your homepage with fake security scanners (www.virusheat.com). VirusHeat have no features to remove spyware and fix security programs. Moreover it can download other types of malware to steal private data and generate annoying ad's. VirusHeat may recreate and update itself using security backdoors. We recomend to remove VirusHeat using automatical removal tool.

VirusHeat is a rogue anti-spyware program that displays misleading spyware results, browser hijacks, redirects to unreliable websites and further exposure to other malware threats. VirusHeat is designed to display system warning messages stating that your system has detected a number of active spyware applications to push you into purchasing the full VirusHeat program. I suggest you remove VirusHeat as soon as possible. Try a free removal application, such as SmitFraudFix.
