Investigation Brief
The site impersonates Microsoft with the name “Microsoft SysScan” and displays a “Start Scan” button that runs a fake diagnostic claiming third-party antivirus is harmful. Multiple security vendors flag the domain as phishing and part of a campaign that tricks users into removing legitimate protection.
Impersonation and deceptive messaging
Page text explicitly uses “Microsoft SysScan” branding and states that an “Upgraded version of Windows does not require and support third-party antivirus software. Uninstall immediately.”
Security researchers document this exact pattern across multiple “SysScan” domains that all conclude the user’s antivirus is the problem.
Scan button and next steps
A prominent “Start Scan” button initiates the fake diagnostic that cannot actually detect malware.
The site is classified as phishing by multiple engines and is tied to follow-on social-engineering attempts.
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.
