Av-antivir-scanner-3.net may hijack your web browser and change your home page to Av-antivir-scanner-3.net. The Av-antivir-scanner-3.net site will display phony pop up alerts to get you to buy their needless software. Av-antivir-scanner-3.net promotes fake security programs such as Antivirus Scanner and WebSpyShield. This is an example of what the AV-AntiVir-Scanner-3.net pop up alert tells you:

"Online Scanner is checking your system for spyware and privacy threats. Some security vulnerabilities are found. To keep your computer spyware protected, please click "RUN" or "OPEN" when asked to start the installation of full Antivirus Scanner version. This file has been digitally signed and independently certified as 100% free of viruses, adware and spyware."

And

"Online Scanner is checking your system for spyware and privacy threats. Some security vulnerabilities are found. To keep your computer spyware protected, please click "RUN" or "OPEN" when asked to start the installation of full Antivirus Scanner version.

Don't be fooled by these phony alerts and do NOT buy the bogus software programs that they are peddling. Remove the infection IMMEDIATELY with reliable anti-spyware software.
