Cheap OEM software scam

What is OEM software? It's original equipment manufacturer (OEM) software. Great, but why would I care?, you may ask. The answers is simple. Because you may get a spam message in your mailbox about cheap OEM software. Spammers' definition of OEM software is different. They say that you can legally buy 100% fully working retail version of any software available today and that you don't have to pay that much for the fancy box and manuals. That's why it's so cheap. That would be great if it were true. Unfortunately, OEM software can not be resold. Here's an example of the fake online OEM software store: allsoftwaredirect.com. Let's take a look. It looks like they resell nearly all popular software available today. Adobe Photoshop CS2 V 9.0 cough my eye. Let's say I want to buy it. Guess what? I'm lucky because it costs only $69.95 and I will save $529.05. Don't fall victim to this scam. If you have purchased such fake OEM software, please contact your credit card company and dispute the charges. Good luck and be safe online!

Remove Avscanner.net (Uninstall Guide)

Avscanner.net is a browser hijacker that promotes the rogue anti-malware program called Malware Destructor 2011. Of course, it may promote any other rogue program as well but currently it prompts to download Malware Destructor 2011. Well, you probably won't end up with this knowingly. Usually, users are redirected to avscanner.net from infected websites or by other means. Avscanner.net will state that Windows Security has found critical process activity on your system and will perform fast scan of system files.



 In reality, thought, there will be no system scan. It's an imitation of the real scan. After the fake scan avscanner.net will claim to find Trojans:

  • W32.Mypics.Worm.36352
  • Trojan Horse IRC/Backdoor.sdBot4.FRV
  • Adware.Win32.Winad
  • Backdoor.Win32.Haxdoor.gu
  • Trojan Horse Generic11.OQJ


Ad this point, you should leave the misleading website immediately. If you choose to download their malware removal tool you will end up with Malware Destructor 2011 scareware on your computer. I'm sure you don't want that.
