Virus Remover 2008 seems to have distanced itself from the Windows-looking interface,It no longer uses the logo which distinctly resembles the one by Windows Security Center. This was done possibly because the old Antivirus 2009 interface is already too familiar to users, and that it might give away the fact that it is a fake anti-virus program.
