Free-web-scaners.org

Posted: March 18, 2009

Free-web-scaners.org is a browser hijacker and rogue website that promotes the fake anti-spyware application Antivirus XP Pro. Free-web-scaners.org will redirect your browser to its website. Once your browser is hijacked to Free-web-scaners.org, the hideous Zlob Trojan is used to install additional malware and produce a pretend free online scanner. This "free" scanner will report that your PC is infected and that you must use the licensed full paid version of Antivirus XP Pro to rid your PC of these infections. In reality the results from the scanner are all fabricated to trick you into purchasing the rogue Antivirus XP Pro application. The Zlob Trojan may also produce false pop up ads and alerts claiming that your computer is infected in order to mislead you into purchasing the Antivirus XP Pro application. It is important to remember that Free-web-scaners.org may slow your computer and cause system errors. It is recommended that you eliminate the Zlob Trojan and malware infections.
