If your files have turned into random strings of letters and numbers with .EXTE filename extensions, you must have Exte Ransomware active on your computer. Without a doubt, it has entered your PC illegally. Although ransomware infections try to enter systems unnoticed, they do not work in the background like other malicious applications.

Most probably, it performs the encryption of users’ personal files right after the successful entrance so that it would be easier for cyber criminals to get money from users. ...

Has Naampa Ransomware slithered in? If it has, your personal files are now unreadable, as the “.crptd” extension is appended to their names. This malicious ransomware is likely to have been created by smart and experienced cyber criminals because it functions pretty well. As soon as it slithers in – which we will discuss further in this repot – the threat encrypts files and, soon after that, instructs you to contact the creator. If you do as told, you are then introduced to ransom demands, which is the end goal for this malicious threat. Unfortunately, we cannot provide you with detailed information regarding the payment because it might be unique for every user. ...

Windows Firewall Blocked The Internet is a fake security alert that says that Windows Firewall has detected a breach and you need to call the provided phone number for support. However, the truth is that there is no tech support because the people who impersonate Microsoft tech support may try to charge you for their useless help or promote particular useless software, among other things.

Ransomware infections all act very similarly, but there is no doubt that BrainLag Ransomware is the one that has encrypted pictures, documents, music, and other files on your computer if you have already discovered your files having a new extension .xdxdlol appended next to their original filename extensions.

Our research has shown that this suspicious piece of software does not offer beneficial services, and, instead, leaks data without your permission. At the time of research, the data was encrypted before leaking it, and so it is unknown what kind of information is at risk, but, of course, we have to think about the worst case scenario, which is that the potentially unwanted program (PUP) is leaking private data. So, if you are still thinking about whether or not to install this program, we recommend against it. ...

In fact, this questionable VPN (Virtual Private Network) application cannot even be downloaded officially; it is more likely that your copy sneaked onto your computer while you were installing a free software package. However, if this potentially unwanted program (PUP) managed to crawl onto your PC, there could be other threats hiding on your system. This PUP does not seem to work as a proper VPN application as it does not even change your IP address. ...
