Posted: October 14, 2010

Antisywire.com is a rogue website which advertises Antivirus Action. Do not click on anything this website offers as it will most likely result in a fake scan being run. The fake scan produces a list of bogus infections with the intention if convincing users that the system is infected with malware. This a blatant scam to get unwary users to purchase Antivirus Action, which is in fact a useless product.
