Beware of bestantispyware2010.com and livesoftcore.com scam (Removal instructions)

Bestantispyware2010.com and Livesoftcore.com are two new malicious websites that promote the rogue anti-spyware program called Antivirus Soft. Previously I wrote about Newsoftspot.com which was the first site that promoted Antivirus Soft scareware. Also note that those three domains may show up in a different format on the infected computer. The rogue program can modify Windows Hosts file so that you see those websites in such format:
  • Bestantispyware2010.microsoft.com
  • Livesoftcore.microsoft.com  
  • Newsoftspot.com.microsoft.com 
Of course, Microsoft is not related with Antivirus Soft scam and those websites in any way. That's an old trick used by cyber criminals to make the whole scam look more realistic and reliable. Bestantispyware2010.com and Livesoftcore.com are full of false information and fake reviews. You can be inadvertently redirected to one of those website while surfing the Web. If that happens, please leave that website immediately. However, if you are constantly redirected to those websites then probably your computer is infected with Trojans or Antivirus Soft malware. Please read how to remove Anitivirus Soft and related malware from your PC for free.
