You also run the risk of damaging your computer since you're required to find and delete sensitive files in your system such as DLL files and registry keys. It is recommended you use a good spyware remover to remove VirusRay and other spyware, adware, trojans and viruses on your computer.

VirusRay installs on your computer through a trojan and may infect your system without your knowledge or consent.
