Newsoftspot.Microsoft.com - Information

Post by Doctor Inferno on Mon 1 Feb - 14:49

Newsoftspot.Microsoft.com is a hijacked domain which belongs to the fake antivirus product known as Antivirus Soft.

Antivirus Soft changes your computer's HOSTS file to make redirect you to their IP address.

The hoax is the fact that, the URL displayed in the address bar your browser is shown as Newsoftspot.Microsoft.com which actually sounds legitimate. However, Newsoftspot.Microsoft.com nor Antivirus Soft is not affiliated and/or related to Microsoft.

Newsoftspot.Microsoft.com hijacks your internet browser by using fraudulent strategies and displaying false or exaggerated security issues on your computer rather than any legitimate ones to coerce you into purchasing their software.
