Browsersecurityinfo.com Hijacker Description:
Browsersecurityinfo.com is not a website one can trust. According to our malware analysis, Browsersecurityinfo.com is another domain promoting a totally insecure and fraudulent program called Personal Antivirus. Here is how this promotion takes place. First, Browsersecurityinfo.com takes advantage of one’s web browser (Internet Explorer mainly) through the use of more primitive but very stealthy infections called trojans. Then, Browsersecurityinfo.com hijacker forces hits to its website which resembles an alert page stating the intended site is unsafe. Having thus gotten the web-surfer excited about his/her computer security, Browsersecurityinfo.com will suggest following one of the suggested links to find out more. That’s a trap leading to another tricky web page that offers the user to enter the credit card data to purchase Personal Antivirus license which is alleged to be the cutting-edge solution to resolve the online surfing problems.
Spywarefolderscannerv2.com Hijacker Description:
The scareware program known as Personal Antivirus is being currently distributed on Spywarefolderscannerv2.com website which is fraudulent and absolutely untrustworthy. Actually, Spywarefolderscannerv2.com refers to the group of malware programs having the generic name “browser-hijackers”. Their technical essence consists in the fact that they capture some of the web browser’s basic functionalities on the compromised computer through the use of trojans. When this part of the plan gets executed, Spywarefolderscannerv2.com will keep redirecting your internet sessions to its domain. When you hit Spywarefolderscannerv2.com, you will see pop-ups that claim you have insecure activity inside your computer. All the weird-named trojans, spyware and other infections will be reported by Spywarefolderscannerv2.com scanner which is just as fabricated as the above-mentioned fake alerts.
Bestfoldervirusscanv3.com Hijacker Description:
Bestfoldervirusscanv3.com is a hijacker that serves the promotion campaign of Personal Antivirus (aka PAV) which is a hazardous cyber-impostor designed especially to spoof people. Bestfoldervirusscanv3.com attracts hits to its domain through a trojan virus that infiltrates using rootkit techniques and then hijacks the compromised PC’s web browser. When Bestfoldervirusscanv3.com is visited, it shows anything but a real antivirus scanner. Actually, the security scan hosted on Bestfoldervirusscanv3.com is not genuine and reports non-existent threats (or they do exist, but NOT on your computer). Such trick is not a new one; it’s been practiced for years by rogue anti-spyware programs to intimidate credulous computer users into registering and installing them. So do not believe a single word you read on Bestfoldervirusscanv3.com
Home Antivirus 2010 Description:
Home Antivirus 2010 (aka HomeAntivirus 2010 or HomeAntivirus2010) is the latest and, according to the preliminary estimates, a very aggressive scareware program that appeared to invade your privacy and endanger your system. Just like its predecessor Home Antivirus 2009, by its determinative characteristics Home Antivirus 2010 falls under the category of classical rogue anti-spywares, which means it doesn’t actually protect one’s PC – instead, it tricks the unsuspecting user into downloading its registered version. Home Antivirus 2010 is usually distributed by trojans that find plenty of backdoors in one’s Operating System and the security guard to infiltrate without the user noticing it. When Home Antivirus 2010 unregistered version finds itself inside, it will commence its deceptive activity by triggering multiple popup alerts that tell you how severely your computer is infected and how badly you need Home Antivirus 2010 to protect yourself.
Security-mechanic.com Description:
Security-mechanic.com domain assists the fake anti-spyware tool called Security Mechanic to maintain its dirty tactics. Security-mechanic.com usually uses trojan viruses to take advantage of the web browser on the challenged computer. Once the browser is thus hijacked, the user will keep hitting Security-mechanic.com or the related insecure site at Basic-security-scan.com. Both of the above-mentioned hijackers pursue the aim of distributing Security Mechanic fraud which pretends to be a legit security tool but is not one in fact. If you are getting redirected to Security-mechanic.com, it means you already have malware inside your system which is trying to trick you. When you get forcedly diverted to Security-mechanic.com, you will see dishonest advertising of Security Mechanic which is depicted as “your best anti-virus protection”.
Totalsecurityscannerv3.com Hijacker Description:
Totalsecurityscannerv3.com is a non-trustworthy domain whose name is associated with a browser hijacker pushing rogue anti-spyware (Personal Antivirus fraud). Here is how Totalsecurityscannerv3.com hijacker works. First, a stealthy trojan virus infiltrates one’s system without the user’s awareness and consent. Then, the trojan imperceptibly modifies the browser configuration; on the majority of occasions, it’s the homepage that gets changed. Finally, the internet sessions will get exposed to multiple redirections thus making you hit Totalsecurityscannerv3.com. There, you will see a phony system scan supposedly run by Personal Antivirus and allegedly for the sake of your system’s stability. Surely, Totalsecurityscannerv3.com scanner returns results which are overwhelmed with imaginary detections including trojans, viruses and other cyber scam.
Security Mechanic Description:
Security Mechanic (aka SecurityMechanic) has become a new malware from the family represented by such dangerous fake anti-spywares as System Protector and SpyProtect. Being a typical rogue, Security Mechanic spreads through the use of trojans that usually hijack one’s browser and redirect it to insecure domains at Security-mechanic.com or Basic-security-scan.com both of which pose a significant risk to the compromised Operating System. The former is Security Mechanic “official” website, the latter is a fake security scanner that frightens people into downloading the rogueware. Whichever way you caught Security Mechanic, it will mess up your computer world by displaying its deceitful ads and bogus scanners that will keep redirecting you further to a page meant for purchasing
Trojan-Keylogger.Win32.Agent Description:
If you ever got to see an alleged Windows Security Alert that looks like the one below, remember – your real problem is not the mentioned threat – Trojan-Keylogger.Win32.Agent. The real malware you are dealing with is called XP Deluxe Protector which is a devastating rogue anti-spyware application. It’s XP Deluxe Protector that is trying to stuff up your system with malware detection alerts to make it more persuasive that you need its full paid version to protect yourself. In other words, when it comes to Trojan-Keylogger.Win32.Agent alerts, do not cure the symptoms; you’d better take adequate measures to clear the PC from XP Deluxe Protector scam which is triggering those ads, in the first place. Even though Trojan-Keylogger.Win32.Agent does exist as a real trojan virus, it’s not you actual enemy in this particular case. Trojan-Keylogger.Win32.Agent alerts should become a direct stimulus to check your system for rogue anti-spyware like XP Deluxe Protector.
Livefolderscannerv6.com Hijacker Description:
Personal Antivirus and Livefolderscannerv6.com are two interrelated cyber-entities; both are dangerous and unwanted to have on one’s computer.

Next thing you know – Livefolderscannerv6.com
Zocleaner.com Description:
Zocleaner.com is not one of those websites you can trust. Zocleaner.com is affiliated to the fake security product called System Security 2009 (aka System Security 4.52). Guided inside by trojan viruses, Zocleaner.com hijacker changes browser settings (the default homepage mostly) and thus ensures diverts to Zocleaner.com domain whenever the browser is opened. On Zocleaner.com, a random visitor will not see a single word of truth about the security status of the PC. All because Zocleaner.com scanner is a counterfeit one and it claims you have malware which isn’t there in reality. Such misdetections of malware are widely practiced by rogue anti-spywares while trying to scare people and persuading them they need System Security 2009 to rescue their systems. Well, you definitely do not need System Security 2009
