Mostpopularscan.com
Mostpopularscan.com is another browser hijacker and rogue website promoting a fake anti-spyware program. The fake anti-spyware program being peddled this time is System Security. Mostpopularscan.com will redirect your browser page to its own website. Once you're on its website your PC will become infected with a Trojan which will then produce a free online scanner that will report numerous infections on your PC. This scanner can not be trusted as its results are all fabricated in order to trick you into buying the counterfeit System Security application. Your PC screen may also display phony pop up ads and warning alerts that have the same intention of tricking you into buying a worthless program. Don't be conned by these underhanded methods. Instead remove the infection immediately.
