Actually, this application should be called "Virus Buy", because that's exactly what you get if you'll purchase it. This program is a scam and targets mostly Korean people, but Internet users from other countries may infect their PCs as well. You should immediately uninstall VirusBye from your computer if it's infected with this parasite.

VirusBye is promoted through the use of Trojan viruses or it can be downloaded from virusbye.net.
The homepage if this bogus software provides fake comparison diagram, reports about malware and security risks. Once installed, this program will perform fake system scan and display numerous computer threats. The scan process is very fast, ridiculously fast. Obviously, the scan results are false. Then, Virus Bye will flood your computer with very annoying and fake security alerts. At first sight, these alerts may look reliable, but in reality you shouldn't trust them.

If you find that your computer is infected with VirusBye, do not purchase it. Instead, please use the manual removal guide below to remove this infection from your PC for free.
