Antispyversion.com is a new misleading site which has been created to promote and distribute a program called Antivir Solution Pro. The program is a malware that classified as rogue antispyware tool because it reports false infections and shows fake security alerts as a method of scaring you into buying the software.
Like other rogue antispyware programs, Antivir Solution Pro is installed with the help of trojans. During installation the rogue will configure your browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc) by changing its proxy settings, so that it will redirect you from sites that you want to visit to the antispyversion.com. Thus, when you open any site, instead it will display a page, which reported that a visit to this site is dangerous, because it contains malicious exploits that can launch a virus on your computer. This warning is nothing but a fake, so you can safely ignore it.
