Posted: February 9, 2010

Bestantispyware2010.com is a browser hijacker which aims to swindle PC users and make them pay for the activation of the rogue anti-spyware program Antivirus Soft. Bestantispyware2010.com's duty is to scare computer users into purchasing a copy of this useless product. Bestantispyware2010.com does this by redirecting the browser to a fake site which resembles a PC security scan. This fake scan will produce bogus results claiming the PC is infected with malware. Then it proposes the purchase of Antivirus Soft as a solution to the infection. This is a blatant scam, so do not become another victim of cyber fraud and have all related threats terminated using an effective malware remover.
