According to Internet security firms, “Microsoft customers searching on Microsoft’s site, office.microsoft.com, may get results that re-direct them to a rogue anti-virus web site.”

When users are searching office related information or help with the Office products, Microsoft searches its own database for the results along with broader web, so it is obvious that the URL for the search results will begin with something like http://office.microsoft.com .  This is troublesome for most users as they will blindly believe that this is a genuine site and the malicious URL will redirect users to a real-looking virus scan and warning page presented by a Rogue AV program (SHA1: 6489c54e30af18801a9e83a5855fa639f3bae0b8), according to Information Week Blog.  Please see below video....

Antivirus System PRO, a rogue anti-spyware program (fake security application), also known as System Guard 2009, Spyware Protect 2009 that has one intention, to create problems on your pc and charge you money if you take their service for no protection.  These types of rogue antivirus are installed through backdoor Trojans and rogue websites.

According to spywarevoid.com, “If Antivirus System Pro sneaks into your computer it slows down the system, performs loads of system scans, and tries to scare you with the numerous false security warnings.”  After all that, it will suggest you to buy a licensed version of the fake antivirus, which is their sole intention.  Please do not purchase this program as it a rogue application which will not protect you in anyway.
