Check-AntiVir-Tool.net is yet another browser hijacker designed to promote WinSpywareProtect fraud. It is a clone of Av-antivir-scanner-3.net, Av-check-online-scan.com and AVG-Online-Scanner.com hijackers.

Check-AntiVir-Tool.net redirects web browser to check-antivir-tool.net website that appears to be online virus scanner. The website imitates computer scan and reports various infections: New.NetDomain.Plugin Spyware, QQPass I Password Capture, Matcash BG Trojan high, SillyDI Spyware high and several others. It also displays explicit nudity pictures supposedly taken from visitor’s computer. Check-AntiVir-Tool.net offers fixing all the problems with WinSpywareProtect software. All the infections reported by Check-AntiVir-Tool.net are fake. The main purpose of both the website and the browser hijacker is making people buy WinSpywareProtect as it was a security tool. Those who agree to pay for Win Spyware Protect, soon find out that it is nonfunctional.

Do not trust check-antivir-tool.net website and remove browser hijacker as soon as possible.
