What is Malware-domain.com?

Malware-domain.com is exactly what it sounds like: a malicious domain, used to promote the fake anti-spyware program Alpha Antivirus. This website is reached after the system has been infected by trojans, which alter the browser settings, which results in redirections while browsing the net. The website itself is actually no more than a popup, which states that the website that’s currently being used is not safe and that security software is required. Basically, the popup urges the user to download Alpha Antivirus.

Do NOT trust this website and remove Alpha Antivirus as soon as possible.
