Adware.Win32.MalwareAlarm Threat Level: 
Adware.Win32.MalwareAlarm is a trojan that appears in fake security alerts from rogue antispyware. Adware.Win32.MalwareAlarm popups could read:
“Your computer was infected with Adware.Win32.MalwareAlarm.
It’s dangerous for your system, some files can be lost and your browser can be slow!
Click OK to download the antispyware program to clean your computer! (Recommended)”
or
“Your browser was hijacked by Adware.Win32.MalwareAlarm.”
