Spyware: Virus-WebScanner.com
July 4th, 2008 | Posted in SpywareVirus-WebScanner.com Threat Level: 
Virus-WebScanner.com is home to fake anti-spyware XP Antivirus Protection. Virus-WebScanner.com offers a free scan with XP Antivirus Protection.
What a deal.
Only if you download the trial, XP Antivirus Protection tells you you’re infected with spyware that doesn’t exist, and pops up fake security alerts to trick you into buying XP Antivirus Protection for $49.95-$79.95. This Virus-WebScanner.com popup reads:
“The page at http://www.Virus-WebScanner.com says:
ATTENTION! You have not completed the virus scan!
Your PC is still infected with spyware!
Please return to Virus-WebScanner.com and download XP antivirus scanner.”
Despite whatever Virus-WebScanner.com says, if you don’t remember how you got to Virus-WebScanner.com, the only spyware you’re infected with is XP Antivirus Protection. So just remove XP Antivirus Protection, before you throw your PC out the window.
