Softwaream.com is a malicious browser hijacker, which is created by the same attackers who created rogue anti-spyware application Antivirus Monitor. Softwaream.com typically hijacks your web browser, then redirects traffic to Softwaream.com or its affiliated websites so that it can advertise and sell bogus software. Softwaream.com makes effort to persuade trusting computer users to believe that Antivirus Monitor is reputable antivirus that is able to remove any malware. If your PC is corrupted with Softwaream.com or Antivirus Monitor, you need to remove them immediately.
