'Windows Firewall Blocked the Internet Due To Security Breach' Pop-Up must have appeared on your screen because you either opened a website that supports such pop-ups or you have an extension on your browser that generates them.

Todays News Reporter is a recently released Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome extension which comes with a slogan “Global and Local News at your fingertips.” It promises to make it easier to open CNN, Fox News, and other popular websites with a single click, which some users, especially those who are tired of typing URLs of news websites in the address bar each time they want to access a news page, find quite appealing. Since Todays News Reporter is advertised as a useful piece of software that can save some time, some users willingly download it from the web. ...
Quakeway Ransomware is a malicious program that claims that it is not a ransomware and does not ask for money to provide you with the decryption key after it encrypts your files. As a matter of fact, we have found that this infection may not even encrypt your files anymore. This could be an unfinished ransomware program, a test run, the server could be down, or it might as well be a joke. It is very difficult to decide which one it is since its ransom note does contain some threats regarding not deleting its note or other files unless you want to lose all your personal files. ...
If you get redirected to a search engine known as Popular123.com, then you should know that it is a somewhat unreliable search engine because it features ads from questionable third-party advertisers and collects information about you to share with them and provide you with personalized ads. This search engine can end up on your PC accidentally, or you can get redirected to it from another site, so you might want to remove it. In fact, there is no reason to keep it because the quality of the search results is not the greatest. In this article, we will discuss how this search engine works, how it is distributed, and how you can get rid of it. ...
J Ransomware is one of the newest ransomware-type infections that might enter your PC illegally one day. It might use other names, e.g. J-Ransomware or J-Ransom, but we can assure you that it is one and the same threat. Unlike similar infections, it does not apply any important changes on affected systems. It only drops a new file on those PCs – a ransom note in a .txt format. Even though it is not one of those sophisticated ransomware infections, it still encrypts users’ files. While the majority of ransomware infections lock users’ personal data seeking to obtain money from users, J Ransomware does not demand a ransom. ...
A new ransomware infection might be preparing for an attack, and it is called Cryptodark Ransomware. This infection was not fully developed or launched at the time of research, and if anything changes and develops, we will inform you about it soon. Right now, however, this threat appears to be in development still. While the infection has the potential to lock the screen of the infected operating system and introduce the victim to aggressive ransom demands, it still cannot encrypt files or even spread. Although there is a possibility that this infection will never see the light of day, so to speak, there is also a possibility that it will start spreading at any point. ...
Petna Ransomware is a very dangerous computer infection that uses the EternalBlue exploit to infect your computer and then encrypt your files. It then demands a 0.8 BTC payment to decrypt your files. If your PC has become infected with it, then you have to remove it, but the only way to get rid of it is to repair the Master Boot Record (MBR) which can be done with the Windows Installation DVD to boot into System Recovery Options. This ransomware is very potent as it generates a very strong encryption key, so, unfortunately, you cannot decrypt your files using third-party decryption tools. ...
If you noticed a browser extension called Msoft Update among your browser’s plugins, you should be aware it falls under the classification of potentially unwanted programs. The reason the application was categorized this way is its questionable behavior and the fact it might pretend to be a product of Microsoft. However, we can assure you that the extension was released not by Microsoft, although we cannot name its real creators. To our knowledge the plugin does not provide any tools, so we doubt you will have any use for it. ...
YourDailyTrailer is not a browser extension you should keep active because it acts as a potentially unwanted program even though it claims that it will make it possible to access top streaming websites, access and watch the latest trailers, and explore movies and TV shows. First, it is capable of entering computers without permission. Second, it applies changes to Google Chrome (it is the only browser it is compatible with) without permission. Of course, some users still find this extension quite useful because it presents them with quick-access links; however, it is not as useful as it claims to be – you will see it for yourself if you read this article till the end. ...
