Smart Pc Care

Armage Ransomware
Armage Ransomware is a piece of malware that could be introduced to you as a harmless file sent to you via spam email. It could also be represented as a harmless piece of software when you download something from unreliable sources. Due to this, it is perfectly just to identify this malware as a Trojan. Of course, we categorize it as ransomware because it is the kind of software that demands a ransom in return for a decrypter that, supposedly, can restore the files affected by the infection itself. Needless to say, this is a seriously malicious infection, and so you want to keep it away from your operating system. ...
National Security Bureau Ransomware
It has been some time since we last saw an infection like National Security Bureau Ransomware. This malware is very reminiscent of threats that would use the credentials of well-known law enforcement organizations to trick gullible Windows users into paying fines for allegedly committed cyber crimes. FBI Cybercrime Division Virus, National Security Agency Virus, Homeland Security Virus, and hundreds of similar threats would invade operating systems and paralyze them by displaying screen-locking windows to convince victims that fines had to be paid. ...
Lanran Ransomware
Lanran Ransomware is a threat that has been categorized as crypto-malware. Just like similar malicious applications, it encrypts personal files once it successfully enters computers and then demands a ransom from victims. Some users make a decision to pay money to cyber criminals so that they could fix those encrypted files, whereas others think that losing files is hundred times better than paying money to cyber criminals. To be frank, we do not think that paying money to crooks is a very good idea, so if none of your important files have been locked, you should delete Lanran Ransomware without sending a cent to malicious software developers. ...
Desu Ransomware
One single security backdoor is enough for Desu Ransomware to slither into your operating system successfully. This dangerous threat was created to slither in without your notice and to encrypt files without leaving a single option for you to restore them manually. In fact, this malicious threat goes further by encrypting the MBR, which stands for “master boot record.” Once the threat is done, you cannot even boot Windows normally to check what was done. Instead of booting the operating system, the computer boots up to a screen that delivers the ransom demands. ...
Unlock92 Zipper Ransomware
Are your personal files backed up? If they are not, we suggest that you take care of that before Unlock92 Zipper Ransomware finds its way into your Windows operating system. This malicious infection is set to lock personal files in a ZIP archive and then replace them with copies that are just 1 byte. Although the malicious threat did not work at the time of research, that does not mean that it could not become a serious threat in the near future. In fact, it could have been fully developed by the time you are reading this report. Does a free decryptor exist? ...
AndreaGalli Ransomware
A new infection – AndreaGalli Ransomware – has been spotted in the wild, but it is not very likely that many users have already encountered it because it still seems to be in development. We say so because research has shown that this Hidden Tear-based ransomware infection encrypts files in only one folder named test. It is not very likely that we could find many users who have such a folder on their Desktops. As a consequence, even if they ever encounter this ransomware infection, it does not mean that any of their files will be encrypted. ...
How Vermin RAT Spies Upon Ukrainian Government Agencies
Do you know what a cyber espionage tool is? It is a piece of malware that enables cyber criminals to access targeted operating systems to spy on them without the owner’s knowledge. Vermin RAT (remote access tool) is one of these tools, and it was found to be targeted at the Ukrainian government agencies, along with Quasar and Sobaken, two other infections that appear to be variants of the same malware. All three of these threats are distributed and used in the same ways, and they are equally as malicious and dangerous for the security of secret government information. ...
Search.hthecalendar.co
Search.hthecalendar.co appears to be a browser hijacker that could enter the system after installing a suspicious browser plugin available on thecalendar.co. Apparently, once the extension settles in the affected browser might start loading the search engine in question instead of user’s usual homepage or default search engine. It is essential to explain, this tool could introduce you to potentially malicious advertising content as our specialists noticed the application might display results through a modified search.yahoo.com version. Therefore, we do not advise using it if you do not want to risk seeing possibly malicious advertising content. ...
