Syscare-antivirus.org

Posted: April 18, 2013

Syscare-antivirus.orgScreenshot 1Designed as a replacement for the recently taken down Systemcare-antivirus.org, Syscare-antivirus.org is yet another website that promotes scamware as a supposedly legitimate anti-malware utility. While the Syscare-antivirus.org website claims that its product, System Care Antivirus, can provide 'comprehensive' protection against viruses, spyware and other PC threats, SpywareRemove.com malware research team has previously identified System Care Antivirus as a rogue anti-malware program that only can deliver fake system alerts. Visiting Syscare-antivirus.org should be thought of as potentially hazardous for your PC, and anti-malware software always should be considered in the event that removing System Care Antivirus – or other PC threats associated with System Care Antivirus – becomes necessary.

Syscare-antivirus.org's Software: A 'Powerful Tool,' but Not One for Protecting Your Computer

Syscare-antivirus.org was registered in the 16th of April in 2013, and, as such, does not yet have a significant history in website ranking databases or online trustworthiness-rating sites. However, an easy clue to Syscare-antivirus.org's true intentions can be gathered from its format, which is cloned from a previous site, systemcare-antivirus.org. Like its predecessor, Syscare-antivirus.org promotes a fake anti-malware program that exists only to attack your computer and swindle you into paying money through a fraudulent registration process.

Besides merely promoted such scamware, Syscare-antivirus.org also may not be above using browser exploits to install System Care Antivirus without your permission – a danger that SpywareRemove.com malware experts have found to be endemic to similar scamware-affiliated sites. Any visit to Syscare-antivirus.org always should be followed by analyzing your PC with whatever brand of anti-malware software you trust, and infections related to Syscare-antivirus.org are likely to display symptoms such as:

  • Having other programs on your computer blocked without a just cause (although System Care Antivirus may display inaccurate warnings about any blocked programs being damaged or compromised).
  • Having your browser redirected to Syscare-antivirus.org.
  • Being unable to access various safe websites, particularly sites that are related to PC security services.
  • Seeing System Care Antivirus (or a related piece of scamware) launched automatically with Windows.
  • Experiencing numerous unusual and highly inaccurate pop-up alerts.

Putting the Real Antivirus in Syscare-antivirus.org

Software associated with Syscare-antivirus.org never should be purchased, and SpywareRemove.com malware researchers advise you to consider any personal information transferred to Syscare-antivirus.org to be effectively compromised by criminals. Ordinarily, staying away from Syscare-antivirus.org and using strong browser security protocols should be enough to keep you far from probable infection vectors for System Care Antivirus, but other members of the same family of fake anti-malware products, identified by SpywareRemove.com malware analysts as WinWebSec, also should be regarded with all due suspicion.

Some of System Care Antivirus's close cousins that SpywareRemove.com malware researchers have analyzed include Security Tool, Disk Antivirus Professional, Smart Fortress 2012, Winweb Security, Live Security Platinum and System Progressive Protection. Naturally, all PC threats from the WinWebSec family, including those linked to Syscare-antivirus.org, should be removed with anti-malware products promptly. In most cases, you'll need to take extra steps to disable the scamware prior to being able to access appropriate anti-malware tools.
