Investigation Brief
detectsysscanner.de impersonates Microsoft SysScan, displays fabricated system errors, and urges visitors to remove their real antivirus software. The page is part of a documented refund/remote-access scam campaign that ultimately leads victims to call a number and grant attackers control of their computer.
Microsoft branding and false diagnostic claims
The page header reads "Microsoft SysScan" and the domain is detectsysscanner.de, directly copying Microsoft branding.
A prominent message states "Upgraded version of Windows does not require and support third-party antivirus software. Uninstall immediately," falsely blaming the user’s legitimate security software for system problems.
Scan button initiates social-engineering funnel
Clicking the "Start Scan" button triggers a fake diagnostic that concludes the user’s antivirus is the root cause of supposed issues, directing them toward uninstallation and a support phone call.
Security vendors flag the domain as malicious or phishing; 11 engines on the multi-engine malware scan and 10 independent families in aggregate lists mark it harmful.
The campaign is explicitly described as the opening stage of a refund scam that removes security software and obtains remote-access credentials.
Why the score is 5
10 independent antivirus families reported an adverse result. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

"Gridinsoft has flagged this website as potentially malicious"

"A wave of websites is offering to check whether your antivirus is working. They call themselves SysScan, carry Microsoft branding, and all reach the same conclusion: Your computer has serious problems, and the cause is the antivirus software you installed."
- Malwarebytesopen
"That is false, and it is the first step in a refund scam designed to get victims onto the phone, remove their security software, and ultimately hand over personal, banking, and remote-access information."
