Threat Description:
Total-scan.com is a reflection of Security Tool rogue anti-spyware distribution basics. Visiting Total-scan.com is a result of browser jack-up implemented by trojans. Total-scan.com resembles some kind of a scanner that looks like a legitimate interface but is in fact nothing but a fake. This seemingly trustworthy appeal of that site is meant to convince you that you have just visited a real source of computer security. Still, the fact remains that Total-scan.com is a bogus scanner which is actually a simple HTML script programmed in advance to return the same results on all occasions. Total-scan.com has a fraudulent downloader embedded in its structure so when the above-mentioned scanner is through it will definitely recommend you to download Security Tool software (let us remind that it is a bad program to have on board one’s PC). If you end up downloading Security Tool, you will get your computer completely hijacked by that crimeware. It will persevere and keep bugging you into buying its commercial version. It goes without saying that you must not let the malware trick you to do any of that. We recommend you to get rid of Total-scan.com hijacker instead.
