Advance PC Protector is a PC optimization tool you may decide to install one day. It is promoted as an “all-in-one PC optimization and PC protection utility,” but you should not hurry to install it on your computer even though this tool looks very beneficial because it is not exactly what it seems to be. It has been classified as a potentially unwanted program by our researchers. First, they have observed that it might be spread bundled, which is definitely not how fully reliable software acts. Second, it leaves leftovers once uninstalled by the user through Control Panel. ...
EnyBenied Ransomware is a threat that could make your pictures, documents, and other files useless. The malicious application does so by encrypting the victim’s data with a strong encryption algorithm and marking it with .EnyBenied extension. As a result, the user cannot open it unless he gets a unique decryption key and a tool that only the hackers behind the malware might have. Naturally, to extort their victims, the malicious application’s developers ask to pay a ransom in exchange for the means to restore encrypted files. The sum does not look particularly huge, but we would still not recommend paying it. ...
All ransomware infections act quite similarly, but we can assure you that helpersmasters@airmail.cc Ransomware is the one you have encountered if your Wallpaper has been changed to a black image with an email address and a padlock in red, you can locate a new text file (HOW TO RECOVER ENCRYPTED FILES.TXT) on your computer, and you cannot open the majority of your files, including those you have created recently. ...
ViewMyPDF is an adware application, which means it may gather information about the user’s browsing habits and then show him targeting advertising material. What users who encounter the extension should know is the advertising content it might display could be not only incredibly irritating but also potentially dangerous. Our specialists say there is such a possibility because the ads might come from unknown third-party web pages. Naturally, if you do not want to take any chances with this adware, you should eliminate it with no hesitation. ...
Do you see .katyusha appended to your files? Is it impossible to open them? Can you locate new .html and .txt files on your PC? If so, Katyusha Ransomware must have entered your computer successfully. This threat is a nasty computer infection that will encrypt all your personal files after the successful entrance. “What does it want from me?,” you may ask, and the answer to this question is obvious. Such infections are developed by cyber criminals and actively distributed through the web with the intention of obtaining money from users. ...
Darknes@420blaze.it Ransomware is one of those malignant pests that can find their way into your operating system and destroy your files. Although the infection does not actually remove, steal, or leak files, it can deconstruct them in a sense. It applies a unique encryption code to change the data in a way that the file becomes unreadable until a special decryption code – which is created along with the encryptor – is applied. The sad thing is that there is no guaranteed way to obtain the decryptor. The creators of the infection want you to believe that they can provide you with one, but, most likely, their promises are empty and are only used to lure out your money. ...
Divine Ransomware is a malicious computer infection that can virtually block you from accessing your data. This is a very sneaky program because it encrypts your files and then deletes itself. It means that there is nothing left to remove, but you have to deal with the encrypted files. What’s more, there’s usually no way to restore those files because the infection rarely issues the decryption key. So what do you do? You should not be averse to the idea of starting from scratch. Or, if you have copies of your files saved on another computer or hard disk, you can transfer them back to your system. ...
backtonormal@foxmail.com Ransomware is a malicious program that encrypts almost all files it finds on the victim’s computer. Thus, receiving such a threat could cause a lot of trouble; especially for users who do not back up their files. By distributing such a threat, its developers hope they will be able to extort money from those who come across it. This is why after enciphering the user’s data the malware is supposed to show a ransom note saying the victim has to contact the hackers and transfer a particular sum of Bitcoins to restore his files. ...
If your operating system has lost its speed, you should not jump to installing programs like LightSpeedPC. Although that might seem like a great idea, the first thing you should do is scan the system using a legitimate and trustworthy anti-malware program. If it detects malicious threats, the chances are that your system will start running normally again once you remove them. If you install a system optimization tool, it is unlikely that you will get your PC running fast. However, you will lose some money in the process, and we are sure that you do not want that. ...
If your operating system is not safeguarded reliably, the malicious GarrantyDecrypt Ransomware could slither in and attack your personal files before you can put two and two together. The infection might have been around for some time now, but our research team has stumbled upon it only recently, and we are rushing to introduce you to it. When it comes to any kind of malware, of course, knowledge and caution are the most important. If you know what to do to protect yourself against it, and if you are cautious, you should be able to evade all threats. ...
