...that is, a noble tradition of products you'd probably rather not have on your PC! Building on the success of various other supposed "security products" that arrive on the back of a hijack, VirusRescue is causing something of a stir at the moment across the various security blogs out there.

It'll be interesting to see if their spokesperson makes any more appearances...
