the multi-engine malware scan shows 12 malicious and 5 suspicious detections across 92 engines.
How the scam works on this page
The site displays the Microsoft logo and the domain detectsysscanner.at, then presents a "Start Scan" button that triggers a fake diagnostic claiming third-party antivirus is unsupported.
Research on the same network of SysScan-branded domains confirms the goal is to trick users into removing legitimate security software, leaving them exposed to further attacks.
Why the score is 5
11 independent antivirus families reported an adverse result. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.
