What is Spywarewebsiteblock.com?

Spywarewebsiteblock.com is a malicious website used to promote the rogue anti-spyware program Alpha Antivirus. If you get infected by this rogue, you will be redirected to Spywarewebsiteblock.com/block.php. Instead of seeing a normal website, you will be greeted by a screen that claims the website is dangerous and suggests you get anti-viral software. If you agree to this suggestion, you will be redirected to either Spywarewebsiteblock.com/1 or Spywarewebsiteblock.com/2, both of which are pages where you can register Alpha Antivirus (not for free, of course).
