malwarealarm(dot)com downloads a variant of rogue antispyware application SpySheriff.
Here�s an interesting thing. By traversing through scanner(dot)malwarealarm(dot)com/, we see a cornucopia of vile and misleading pages used in advertising by these enterprising criminals.
When the online scanner does a �system scan�, it�s just pulling file names from scanner(dot)malwarealarm(dot)com/5/fileslist.js (you can see the contents here). In other words, no scan is actually occurring, just file names are being displayed.
Not very surprising, but pretty sick, eh?
