Virusburst, Son of VirusRescue, Daughter of Spywarequake, Third cousin (twice removed) of...

....well, you get the idea.

Yet another wonderful variant of - uh - all of the above has surfaced, not long after we slamdunked VirusRescue. This one looks pretty much the same as all the others - fairly unspectacular "virus removal" application, that actually tends to end up on your system as a result of a screwball file...and then goes and detects the file that put it there in the first place.

Gotta love it.

Another wonderful feature of VirusBurst is the website itself. Check out the quote from a "satisfied customer":

"My kids used to download mp3 music from Internet, and our computer got infected. So, I had to forbid my children to do that. Since I purchased VirusBurst, my computer is always clean from infections and we download now music and movies without any problems."

In other words - all we do all day is download illegal music files infected with crap! But now I can do it as much as I want! RIAA love me!! THANK JOO, VIRUSBURST!

.....lmao. And:

Our products continue winning awards and gaining recommendations from respected reviewers around the globe.

....yeah, check out those awesome reviews on, er, Snapfiles and Topshareware.com.

Or rather don't, because VirusBurst doesn't seem to exist on either of those sites despite somehow getting five stars according to their review page.

...anyone smell a crock yet?

I do.

The best part about these apps is that when people compare them to things like Spywarequake, VirusThingy and SpankyMalwareKillah (or whatever the Hell they're called this week) some representative comes out and claims there's "no connection" between them. Like, ever. Despite the fact there's overwhelming evidence pointing to the contrary.

On a completely unrelated note, here's the EULA for VirusBurst to the left (click to enlarge). If you think it mentions Spywarequake, I assure you it's actually some kind of drug induced hallucination.

Well, it's time to stop beating this already dead dog with a brick (because sticks are so last year) and retreat back into the alleyways, ninja style. No doubt with spooky smoke all over the place and clattering rooftops and screams of horror and stuff.

Ninjas are awesome.
