JackSparrow Ransomware
Based on the title, JackSparrow Ransomware was most likely created by hackers who are fans of the Pirates of the Caribbean film series. They programmed this malicious application to encrypt various data and then display a ransom note that demands to pay for a special decryption tool. Cybercriminals may even prove that they have the needed decryptor by unlocking some data free of charge. However, you should understand that there are still no guarantees that you will get it. Therefore, if you do not want to pay for tools that you might never get, we advise you to pay no attention to the malware’s ransom note. ...
Dewar Ransomware
Dewar Ransomware is an infection capable of invading Windows operating systems that are not protected appropriately and whose users are acting carelessly. According to the malware researchers working in our internal lab, this infection comes from the Phobos Ransomware family, and it is comparable to Devos Ransomware, Dever Ransomware, and several other file-encryptors too. If you have found any of these infections on your operating system, there is a good chance that you opened a corrupted spam email attachment, clicked a malicious link sent to you via social networking platforms, or downloaded a file or a program from an unreliable source. ...
Megmobpoi.club
Megmobpoi.club is not a malicious website, but users should know that a visit to it could result in being redirected to an adware server. Consequently, visiting this site might not be a good idea. Especially if you are not very fond of third-party advertising content. As you see, the adware server that Megmobpoi.club might redirect you to may require permission to show notifications, and if you give it to it, the site could start showing various kinds of advertisements. If you did not know it would happen and now wish to get rid of the adware server’s ads, we encourage you to use the deletion instructions located below or a reputable antimalware tool that could take care of the adware server. ...
Yaarileads.com
Whatever you do, do NOT accept notifications that could be introduced to you by Yaarileads.com. This is an advertising server that has been found to redirect people to unreliable websites that introduce “Show Notification” pop-ups. The person who faces such a pop-up has three options: they can accept the notifications, they can block them, or they can close the website completely. We suggest going with the latter option because interacting with strange websites and the pop-ups shown by them could prove to be dangerous. What if you have interacted with these websites and enabled notifications already? ...
Alka Ransomware
Alka Ransomware is an annoying computer infection that will not let you live. This program slithers into your system and then encrypts your personal files. You can probably tell what happens next: this program expects you to pay a ransom fee for the decryption tool that should unlock your data. Nevertheless, you should never pay anything to these criminals. Follow the manual removal instructions at the bottom of this description to remove Alka Ransomware for good. If you need help with that, do not hesitate to invest in a licensed security application. ...
Reha Ransomware
Reha Ransomware is the infection that is responsible for adding the “.reha” extension to the files you can no longer open normally. Photos, videos, documents, and other personal files are encrypted by this malware, and once that is done, the files appear to be lost because decrypting them manually is impossible. The good news is that this malware is part of the STOP Ransomware family (other threats that belong to it include Nbes Ransomware, Hets Ransomware, Kodc Ransomware, and many others), and a free decryptor was created by malware researchers. ...
Hets Ransomware
Hets Ransomware is a variant of STOP Ransomware, and like most of them, it encrypts data and shows a note asking to pay 490 US dollars in 72 hours or 980 US dollars if a user needs more time to pay. In exchange, the malware’s creators promise to provide decryption software. You might not want to lose a chance to spend less, but we advise not to rush. First, it is crucial to realize that no matter what the hackers may promise, there are no reassurances that they will do it. Meaning, they may not bother sending you the guaranteed decryption software. ...
MonCrypt Ransomware
MonCrypt Ransomware is one of those malicious infections that look quite obscure, but they can cause a lot of damage to your system. It is more than obvious that this program encrypts your files without giving you a chance to do anything about it. Also, it might not be possible to restore the files if the public decryption tool is not available, but that shouldn’t stop you from removing MonCrypt Ransomware from your system today. Scroll down to the bottom for the manual removal instructions or get yourself a powerful antispyware tool that will help you terminate this infection for good. ...
Nbes Ransomware
Do you suspect that Nbes Ransomware has invaded your operating system? You do not need to speculate. Just look at your personal files, and if you can find the “.nbes” extension appended to their names, you can be sure that this is the infection you are dealing with. It is not the worst kind of file-encryptor out there, but it could, potentially, destroy your personal files. There are some file-encryptors that encrypt system files or wipe data altogether. Nbes is not that. Most infections of this kind are undecryptable, and it is possible that victims of Nbes could have their files restored for free. ...
Mbsimedia.com
A visit to Mbsimedia.com could be extremely annoying as the website might keep asking you to allow it to show you notifications. What you should know is that the web page is an adware server, and if you let it display notifications, you might end up receiving lots of irritating advertisements from various third parties. If you would rather avoid seeing such material while browsing the Internet, we advise you not to give your permission to show notifications. However, if you already did and you are now looking for a way to eliminate Mbsimedia.com advertisements, you should take a look at our deletion instructions located below. ...
