ScanQuery
ScanQuery is a computer virus and malicious browser hijacker that is a small file that invades your computer system through secret means and constantly reroutes your web browser to the ScanQuery.com website. The main aim of ScanQuery is to redirect you to advertisements. When ScanQuery infects your computer, it controls your information and potentially uses it for malicious purposes. Once ScanQuery is installed onto the computer, it will launch automatically when Windows starts. ScanQuery will create fake report on the Windows registry, system memory and hard drive in order to intimidate the targeted user.
