Prowebantimalware.com
Prowebantimalware.com is a rogue website which is also known as a browser hijacker. Prowebantimalware.com supports the rogue Antivir Antivirus. Prowebantimalware.com corrupts the user's online activities by constantly redirecting the browser to a fake online scanner page. Prowebantimalware.com uses malicious trojans to modify the Hosts file and browser configuration on the system.
The computer user will experience random hits to Prowebantimalware.com with a fixed URL appendix that leads to the bogus scanner mentioned above. Prowebantimalware.com also appears to mimic the user's My Computer interface.
It's only after a thorough analysis of Prowebantimalware.com GUI that it becomes obvious it's a fake. The drive names may not be the same as originals, and a bizarre scan progress indicator will run inside the Prowebantimalware.com window. Prowebantimalware.com is a misleading website and should be removed from the system immediately.
