Malware can invade systems and create a mess in a blink of an eye. MVP Ransomware is one malicious infection that fits this description. It uses stealthy distribution techniques (e.g., misleading spam emails with corrupted attachments) to slither in, and then it silently encrypts files so that you could be blackmailed. The infection encrypts files in the hopes of making you pay money for a decryptor that might not even exist. What if it does? Well, there are no guarantees that cyber criminals would give it to you even if you asked nicely or paid some good money to obtain it. ...
You need to be really mindful about the security of your operating system; otherwise, Suri Ransomware could slither in and encrypt your personal files. When this malicious infection attacks, it does that silently, and files are encrypted without any warning. In fact, even if you discover and delete the infection’s launcher right away, a copy might be created already. Furthermore, you might discover that your system crashes whenever you try to eliminate the infection. That is made possible by a safety mechanism that the infection installs. ...
Rektware Ransomware is an infection we have never heard about before, so it must be a completely new threat. It has also been developed to lock files on victim’s computers, but, to our surprise, it does not demand a ransom after locking data on victims’ computers, which suggests that this infection has not been developed by cyber criminals with the intention of obtaining money from users. Of course, this might show that crooks have not finished developing it yet. Of course, you might be told that the decryption of files costs money if you contact cyber criminals behind Rektware Ransomware. ...
PC Speed Cat appears to be a potentially unwanted program (PUP), so it cannot be considered reliable. More than that we do not even believe it could be as useful as its description might say. Such applications often detect issues that do not have any influence on the device’s speed. Not to mention, many of these PUPs, including this tool, do not even allow to remove detected problems without purchasing a license first. It seems to us buying it could be a waste of money and so if you do come across PC Speed Cat, we would recommend not to waste any time with it. ...
CobInt Trojan is a threat that is possibly associated with the Cobalt hacking group. It was detected by malware researchers monitoring the web in August, 2018. The analysis showed that this threat is a Trojan, but we could say that it is not exactly a typical Trojan infection. It can be briefly described as a modular malware because it not only has the main component but can also make use of various additional modules. Cobalt hacking group targets financial organizations, including banks, primarily, but we cannot guarantee that CobInt Trojan cannot be used against ordinary users as well. ...
Although the name of Dark Tequila is quite intriguing, the infection itself is one you do not want to cross paths with. If it manages to silently invade your operating system, it might be able to extract passwords, usernames, and other credentials used to log into online banking, flight reservation, shopping, and other sensitive accounts. This, unfortunately, could lead to identity and money theft, and we are sure that is the last thing you need. The good news is that there are things you can do to protect yourself, and if you do not need to delete Dark Tequila at this point – use a legitimate malware scanner to find out – you still have time to guard yourself. ...
EverydayMemo Toolbar is a new extension from Mindspark family. Like many other tools created by Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. it was categorized as a potentially unwanted program.

To find out more details about this potentially unwanted program we invite you to read the rest of this article carefully. ...
Have you been exposed to CouponRockstar Ads? If you have, the first thing you want to do is check for unfamiliar and suspicious extensions installed on your web browser.

It does not matter which language a ransomware program uses. A ransomware infection is a ransomware infection, and so Korean MAFIA ransomware is nothing else but another malicious intruder that wants your money. Of course, this program might take you by surprise if you do not speak Korean, but it doesn’t take a polyglot to understand that something is very wrong when this program enters your computer. ...
Was your Windows operating system attacked by the malicious Pottieq Ransomware? If it was, your personal files are not encrypted, and the “.id-[random]-[shivamana@seznam.cz].bip” extension is added to their names. The [random] part in the extension represents a unique number that the infection presents to each victim. If you discover that your files were encrypted, there isn’t much you can do because a free decryptor does not exist. Unfortunately, the one offered by the creator of the infection cannot be trusted. ...
