Posted: June 29, 2015

Viruskillers.co is a US-based webpage, which offers fake technical support. If you visit the site directly, you may assume it has already been shut down. However, the page is still functioning and associated with an aggressive browser hijacker. Thanks to this unreliable add-on, you may be redirected to Viruskillers.co against your will. These highly suspicious tools usually sneak in as an addition towards freeware, so you should be vigilant during the installation process. The hijacker affects all of your browsers simultaneously, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. When you enter Viruskillers.co, you will be welcomed by a pop-up, which claims you are infected with adware or malware. To resolve the issue, you are encouraged to call a specific phone number like 800-410-1075. Although these notifications are indeed a sign of some unwanted software, dialing the number will not help you. Instead of actual IT specialists, scammers will answer your call. They may demand a significant payment for nothing in return, and may even ask you to give them remote access. If you grant them administrator privileges, they may load malware of their choice – even information-stealing threats. To protect yourself, you should ignore all misleading pop-ups and should remove the add-on that redirects you to Viruskillers.co.
