Sys-scan-1.biz
The website for Sys-scan-1.biz is entitled "System Antivirus Scanner", and for good reason. Sys-scan-1.biz looks like a scanner that performs checks on your computer system for infections, and locates an assortment of them. Of course, all of these are fake, as Sys-scan-1.biz is a rogue website pushing the malicious anti-spyware program System Protector.
Usually a Trojan virus becomes deeply embedded in your system via holes and vulnerabilities in your security software, and then alters your browser settings so that you are continuously redirected to the Sys-scan-1.biz webpage. Here is where you receive an onslaught of pop-ups and security alert messages notifying you that your computer is at risk and suggesting you purchase and install System Protector.
Any infections that Sys-scan-1.biz detects are completely fraudulent. This is nothing but a scare tactic used to get you to purchase System Protector, which will do nothing for your computer other than slow down its overall performance and most likely cause system crashes.
