MyFashionTab Toolbar might enter your system if you interact with doubtful pop-ups or install unreliable software that it could be bundled with. What’s more, our specialists say the extension is nothing more than another tool from Mindspark family, and it falls under the classification of potentially unwanted programs or PUPs in short. Many of the similar applications offer specific links to make the software look more useful, for instance, in this case, the plugin provides links handy for users who are interested in fashion. However, you should be aware the search engine used by MyFashionTab Toolbar (search.myway.com) might show untrustworthy advertising material among the displayed results, which is another reason why we recommend not to trust the PUP or leave it unattended. ...
Spam emails, unprotected remote access channels, system vulnerabilities, and carelessness could all lead to the infiltration of Birbware Ransomware. This malicious threat cannot execute itself without the victim’s participation. Obviously, the victim who participates does that unknowingly. For example, if the infection is let in by opening a spam email attachment, it must look like something else. Something like a normal document file with some information that does not make sense. The document file might also not seem to open at all. Once executed silently, the infection can encrypt files, which is done by reading the file, deleting the original copy, encrypting the read file, and saving the file with the “.birbb” extension. ...

Desktop Ransomware is a malicious file-encrypting program that marks its damaged data with Lock. prefix, e.g., Lock.text.docx. The malware also replaces the user’s Desktop image and shows a window with a message from the threat’s creators. It looks like they want to offer their victims decryption PIN codes, but strangely the Get PIN button does not work, and so we cannot be sure what the cybercriminals were planning. Based on our experience with such malicious applications we think the infections developers could ask for a ransom. After all, threats like Desktop Ransomware are usually created for money extortion. ...
When Yourhope@airmail.cc Ransomware invades and encrypts files, it adds “.yourhope@airmail.cc” to all of their original names to make it clear which files were corrupted. The extension does not have any meaning, and it does not matter whether you keep or remove it. If a file was encrypted, it will stay that way no matter what you do. And what about the ransom? After encryption, the infection displays a message via a TXT file. This message informs that it is possible the decrypt files with a decryption key, but to obtain it, one has to pay a ransom. ...

YaTab could replace your browser’s default search engine and start page. Our specialists report, the application is compatible just with Google Chrome for now, so users browsing the Internet with Mozilla Firefox or other browsers should not encounter it. The extension is not malicious, although it is not exactly reliable either as it falls under the classification of browser hijackers.

Naturally, if you do not like the idea you could encounter such ads, you could simply erase YaTab. ...
StreamingTime has, without a doubt, been developed for those who love music. The add-on is advertised as a useful piece of software that enables users to listen to thousands of free online radio stations for free.
