Scan6New.com is a maliscious rogue website that promotes the fake Internet Antivirus Pro program. The rogue causes fake security alert pop ups to appear on your PC screen telling you your computer is infected. Of course they are only attempting to frighten you into purchasing the worthless Internet Antivirus Pro program.
The fake information page at Scan6New.com reads:
“Windows is scanning your system for threats. The scanning is provided by our official partner Internet Antivirus Pro. Please refrain from closing the window until the scanning is finished.
We highly recommend you to install the full version of Internet Antivirus Pro scanner to monitor your PC for threats and on-time security system updates.”
After that a pop up will appear that reads:
“Please note that Spyware is highly malicious for your PC information privacy. If you want to install the full version, please click “Ok”, wait for the page to load, start the
installation process and follow the instructions. If you want to wait for scanning results to appear, please click “Cancel”. After Internet Antivirus Pro is installed, you can close the scanning window and remove Spyware from your computer.”
If you attempt to cancel installation of Scan6New.com a pop up will read:
“Your computer remains infected by viruses! It can cause data loss and file damages and need to be cured as soon as possible.”
If you experience any of these problems with Scan6New.com it is important to sacn your computer with an anti-spyware scan tool.
