Osguard-pro.Microsoft.com - Information & Removal

Post by Doctor Inferno on Fri 30 Oct 2009, 10:33 am

Osguard-pro.Microsoft.com is a hijacked domain belonging to the malware known as Antivirus System PRO.

Antivirus System PRO changes your computer's HOSTS file to make redirect you to the IP of 91.212.127.226.

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

Osguard-pro.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.
