How to remove Barracuda-antivirus.com hijacker

Malware Description:
Barracuda-antivirus.com is the home web page of the new rogue antivirus product called Barracuda Antivirus. Barracuda-antivirus.com “attracts” visitors through the use of trojans that may hijack the browser on the infected PC and randomly redirect the user’s online surfing to Barracuda-antivirus.com domain. Barracuda-antivirus.com GUI looks very similar to that of the official websites of Spyware Protect 2009 and Antivirus System Pro fake spyware removers – even the site title, the logo and the slogan are common. Barracuda-antivirus.com may get aggressive and display bogus detection reports about signs of malware found on your PC, thus trying to persuade you into installing Barracuda Antivirus fraud. Barracuda-antivirus.com depicts Barracuda Antivirus utility as one “protecting every second…” – too bad it only protects the welfare of the cyber-criminals who developed that badware. Barracuda-antivirus.com lists the framed-up features and the basic functions of Barracuda Antivirus. However, the most apparently deceptive part of Barracuda-antivirus.com is the “TOP Testimonials” section which includes absolutely false feedback from imaginary clients who allegedly tried Barracuda Antivirus. It’s interesting that the testimonials on Barracuda-antivirus.com are absolutely identical to those on websites dedicated to Spyware Protect 2009 and Antivirus System Pro rogues. If your web-surfing keeps getting diverted to Barracuda-antivirus.com, you need to check your system for trojans that hijacked your browser, and remove them all once detected.
