Checkeran.com is a rogue website related to the Antivirus .NET cyber scam. If your browser gets redirected to checkeran.com your PC has been infected with malware related to this scam. Checkeran.com produces a fake system scan which pretends to go through all your system files and then creates a list of malware which has apparently infected your PC. This is a blatant scam and should be ignored. There is no malware on your PC and the threats are checkeran.com and Antivirus .NET, which should both be removed as soon as possible.

Chekaran.com's symptoms include slowing the system performance and bombarding the user with fake warning messages claiming the PC is infected. Security experts suggest using a reliable malware remover to make sure these threats are terminated. Manual removal may pose to be a problem if users are au fait with the technical side of computing.
