New-soft.net
New-soft.net aka New-soft.microsoft.com is a malignant domain that promotes the purchase of PcsSecure, a fake security application. Users will usually only come across New-soft.net if they are already infected with a browser hijacking Trojan related to the malicious website. New-soft.net is able to produce fake scan reports, security alerts and pop-ups before advising a user purchase the full version of PcsSecure. Do not fall victim to this scam and use a legitimate anti-spyware program to completely remove New-soft.net and any malware associated with it.
