This time, it’s Antivirdom.com – a new misleading domain you will go to if the corresponding pseudo antivirus takes over your system. This hijacker is being used for promotional purposes in favor of Security Suite. This scareware tool manages to be stealthy enough to compromise computers remaining undetected. After the silent intrusion, it will perform a few actions on your system which will result in you being unable to surf the Internet, not to mention the obnoxious popup alerts and alleged security scanners that will be appearing over and over preventing you from working with your PC like you used to.
