Safetymans.com

Safetymans.com is a malicious website that promotes harmful rogue scanner products as useful security software. The Safetymans.com site is itself given traffic by browser hijackers and is in no way affiliated with the legitimate Safetyman.com website. If you find your browser being redirected towards Safetymans.com frequently, you probably have an infection on your system that should be eradicated to safeguard your computer's security. Have as little to do with Safetymans.com as possible, since even minor contact can result in the site attempting to download malware onto your computer.

What a Brush with Safetymans.com Can Mean for Your Computer

Malignant sites like Safetymans.com may exploit browser vulnerabilities to attack a visiting computer even if your exposure to the website is fleeting. Low browser security settings may allow Safetymans.com to download malware onto your computer, and Safetymans.com is particularly likely to infect you with a rogue product such as Antivirus Action. Since many legitimate websites require the same settings to function that malicious ones use to attack your system, avoiding contact with Safetymans.com and using additional safeguards such as good anti-virus software are the most practical safety measures.

If you give money or personal information to Safetymans.com or similar dangerous websites, you can expect your information to be abused for illegal purposes such as identity theft, and your money to fall into a 'no refunds' black hole. In these cases, it's usually best to talk to your credit card provider instead, and try to get the charges revoked.

Safetymans.com and similar sites look very similar to legitimate security software company websites, but instead of selling real security software, they peddle bad rogue products. These products can only harm your computer, no matter how much they protest that they're useful!

It's definitely worth noting that Safetymans.com is completely unrelated to Safetyman.com, an Osha-related website. Don't be scared of the latter just because the former is a seething pit of malware!

Safetymans.com's Sampling of RogueWare

Safetymans.com is known to promote and propagate confirmed dangerous rogue products such as Antivirus Action, Security Essentials 2011, and Spyware Protection 2010. These products will attack any infected system in diverse ways, with common possibilities noted below.

• Rogue products will almost always hijack your browser through proxy server exploits, BHO abuse, or other methods. These hijacking attempts are intended to push you towards Safetymans.com and encourage you to give the criminals behind the site your money and personal information. Never trust a website that your browser goes to of its own accord, even if the redirect is embedded in an unsafe site warning message or search result.
• Safetymans.com's rogue wares will also create fake error messages and inaccurate scanning results that deceive you about the state of your computer. Rogue anti-virus infections like these will never give factual data, and will insistently report that your computer is riddled with vulnerabilities and practically on the verge of a breakdown.
• Keeping rogue products such as the ones offered by Safetymans.com on your system will result in generally reduced security on your computer. Your system will be open to further exploitation due to the high likelihood of lowered safety settings and disabled anti-virus and diagnostics programs.

To cut a long story short, handle Safetymans.com the same way you should handle its trash rogue programs - by removing every evidence of its existence from your system, before your computer pays a heavy price.
