Antivirstress.com
Antivirstress.com is a browser hijacker that cyber-criminals use to promote the fake security program Antivirus Action. Antivirus Action will enter a system and display pop-up alerts claiming that the system is infected. The alerts will also prompt a user to purchase the "licensed" version of Antivirus Action in order to remove the purportedly detected malware. Do not purchase anything promoted on Antivirstress.com and have Antivirus Action removed from your system upon detection.
