When searching for something related to malware, I came across this website -www.safer-networking.com- (The - is to prevent anyone to click on it.)

I still haven't entered it, because I'm not using my own system, and therefore not working with any virtual machine, but after doing some research, it is known to be a site distributing fake security software, and in this case trying to be Safer-Networking.org.

http://hosts-file.net/?s=safer-networking.com

http://www.urlvoid.com/scan/safer-networking.com

-Edit-

It seems to be already covered by Spybot's hosts file. :) According to http://hosts-file.net/?s=safer-networking.com it exists since 2007. This clearly shows that a hosts file is not that useless.

Hello,

Thanks for reporting. :)
As you have already said we have that site in our detection rules.
So do not forget to immunize your system with Spybot - Search & Destroy. ;)

Best regards
