What this program does:
SpyCrush is a rogue anti-spyware created by the same developers as VirusBurst and SpyLocked. Originally a rogue anti-spyware product by the name of SpyCrush was released in February 2007. This program was a direct copy of the VirusBurst program which could be seen because the creators left references to the VirusBurst name throughout the End User License Agreement as well as other places. In early June 2007, a new rogue anti-spyware program of the same name was released, but this time it was a copy of the SpyLocked program as seen by the identical interface.
SpyCrush uses aggressive advertising, popups, and misleading scan results as a scare tactic to have you purchase the full commercial version of the software. When loaded, the infection will also display fake security alerts from the Windows task bar. The text and image of these alerts are below:
System has detected a number of active spyware applications that may impact the performance of your computer. Click the icon to get rid of unwanted spyware by downloading an up-to-date anti-spyware solution.
