VirusIsolator is a rogue security program that has no ability to remove spyware from your PC, although it advertises itself as a legitimate antispyware tool. This malicious application is a clone of SpywareIsolator, and displays aggressive pop-up ads and security warnings to the user, informing them of infections that exist on their PC. The purpose of VirusIsolator is to convince the user that they have spyware or other parasites, so that they will be inclined to purchase the full product, which has no use. It is just a ploy to take your money.

There are literally thousands of rogue security applications like VirusIsolator, and they all work basically the same way. By displaying security warnings to the user, they hope to frighten them into believing that they have spyware and other infections, and that they should download the scan that is offered so that they can detect these infections for removal. VirusIsolator, like the rest, has no ability to scan your PC so the infected files that are shown are most likely the exact same files that any other user would get if they were to download the scan. Naturally, it cannot detect or remove anything at all -- except perhaps some money in your wallet.

Where does VirusIsolator come from, and how did it get installed on your PC? Hackers create these malicious applications, which may be placed on your computer by simply downloading the scan they offer. Some of these rogues install automatically because of security holes in your browser, and others may download when you visit questionable websites or click links in spam emails. Often, they piggyback on other files you download like music, games and freeware. Most install without your knowledge or consent.

There are several common symptoms that will be obvious to you if VirusIsolator is in fact installed on your PC. A slow running computer is often one of the first signs, along with non-stop security warnings and pop-up ads. Your system may become unstable, and your browser may block you from visiting websites you are trying to visit. A changed home page is another common symptom. VirusIsolator should be removed as soon as you realize it is there, but don't attempt to do this yourself. You run the risk of damaging your PC further if you do, because the process is difficult and must be performed precisely.
