Virussweeper-scanvirus.net
An aggressive browser hijacker, Virussweeper-scanvirus.net promotes the rogue anti-spyware program Virus Sweeper, and in order to sponsor such a diabolical application, Virussweeper-scanvirus.net infiltrates your system with a Trojan virus that modifies your browser settings in order to redirect any and all web-surfing activities to their corrupted domain.
Once you have found your way to Virussweeper-scanvirus.net - whether intentionally or without consent - a false online scanner will check your system for any infections, and what do you know? The scanner will report numerous parasites and urge you to purchase Virus Sweeper in order to combat these deadly - and completely fictitious - viruses. Do not fall for this scam, and remove Virussweeper-scanvirus.net immediately upon detection.
