Kraken Cryptor Ransomware is a malicious threat that displays a ransom note asking to pay 0.125 Bitcoins, which is around 841 US dollars at the moment of writing. The sum is asked in exchange for decrypting the victim’s files that should be encrypted soon after the system gets infected. It might seem like the only way to get your files back, but you can replace locked files with backup copies too. However, even if you have no options, we would not recommend paying the ransom, especially when the sum is so huge. There is always a risk the hackers may not bother to hold on to their end of the detail and consequently you could lose your money in vain. ...
It is probably not a surprise that malicious software enters computers illegally. Termite Ransomware does not need permission to infiltrate the computer too. If it finds out that the system is unprotected, it will take the opportunity and will affect it immediately. Malicious applications try to enter systems unnoticed, but we do not think that the entrance of Termite Ransomware will go unnoticed because this infection applies changes to files once inside the system. To be more specific, you will find your files encrypted. Cyber criminals develop such malicious applications not because they want to make fun of people. ...
If you ever notice that your web browser has started opening 588.gychina.org when you launch your browser, it means that CEIDPageLock has affected your computer. You will get redirected directly to this page if you open such popular websites as soho.com and maxhton.com as well. Some users do not consider these redirections a huge problem, but it is, believe us. The website promoted by CEIDPageLock is nothing else than a malicious page that might promote malicious software or redirect you further to other untrustworthy websites. ...
Princess Evolution Ransomware is a new ransomware infection that might become a prevalent threat shortly. We say so because anyone can start distributing this threat in order to get some extra money. It seems that the ransomware developer promises to give 60% of all the payments received to those distributing the infection. This infection has a potential of becoming a real threat and affecting thousands of computers, so our recommendation would be to install a security application on the system. It will not allow any other infection to infiltrate your computer. ...
You have to make sure that Kedi RAT has not invaded your operating system because if it has, your own identity is at risk.

Do not make the mistake of assuming that your system is malware-free because anti-malware software is guarding it. As our research has revealed, the devious Trojan can circumvent such software, and even malware scanners can miss this threat. ...
Search.alivesearch.com is not a new ordinary search provider. Specialists have noticed that it is another sub-domain of eAnswers. It is very similar to Searchtheweb.today, which was analyzed by our malware researchers some time ago. Search.alivesearch.com might appear on your web browsers out of the blue, but we do not call it a browser hijacker because, usually, users agree with the changes themselves. Most probably, Search.alivesearch.com has been set on your web browser because you have installed some kind of application/browser extension promoting it. Also, it might come as a redirect, specialists say. ...
CryptoNar Ransomware encrypts user’s files and displays a pop-up message asking to pay 200 US dollars in Bitcoins for decryption. Of course, we would not advise making the payment because not only are there no guarantees the malware’s provided decryption button will work, but also there is not knowing if the unique decryption key generated during encryption was saved. As for hackers behind the threat, they can tell you anything just to make you pay the ransom, so we would not trust them. Our specialists think it is best to remove CryptoNar Ransomware. ...
The name of DBGer Ransomware does not seem to stand for anything specific, and this name certainly does not hold the key to your personal files that the infection encrypts. Unfortunately, this file-encrypting malware is very serious and very dangerous, and as soon as it invades the targeted system, it starts encrypting personal files. It is pretty obvious that this ransomware was created by someone who knows what they are doing and has experience. According to our researchers, this malware and the infamous Satan Ransomware were created by the same people. ...
SimpleHolidayRecipes Toolbar might provide links to recipe web pages that some users may find useful, but we do not believe having a toolbar with some links is worth keeping an unreliable application that could cause trouble on the browser. As you see, this extension falls under the classification of potentially unwanted programs (PUPs). Our specialists tested it and noticed the software might encourage the user to search the Internet with a search tool that, besides matching results, could display annoying and possibly dangerous advertisements. ...
Is Bible study part of your daily routine? If it is, you might install Get Daily Bible Verses without even thinking of the consequences. We are not saying that you would suffer serious security consequences if you downloaded this extension/application, but installing it without doing a little bit of research is a huge mistake. If you are still thinking about installing this PUP, go ahead and read this report first to learn exactly how it works. If you have downloaded it and realized already that it does not offer truly beneficial services, you might already be thinking about removal. ...
