Andrzej Dupa Ransomware
Andrzej Dupa Ransomware is recently discovered malware. The fact that it is new does not mean that there is something very unique about it. What distinguishes it from other similar threats categorized as ransomware is the fact that it may be a Polish version of the ransomware infection analyzed by our researchers some time ago – BansomQare Manna Ransomware. Also, unlike the majority of analyzed threats, it has two versions of the ransom note. Frankly speaking, there is a relatively small possibility to encounter this infection because it is not a prevalent threat, but we, unfortunately, cannot guarantee that it will not evolve into a “massive” malware campaign in the future, so we want to inform you about it so that it would be easier for you to prevent it from entering your system. ...
Uselessfiles Ransomware
If you have found your files encrypted, and you are now asked to send $300 in exchange for their decryption, you should know that Uselessfiles Ransomware could have slithered onto your computer. There are hundreds of ransomware infections acting in a similar way, but this one must be responsible for locking data in your case if it asks 300 USD and you see an new image with a message in red letters starting with the sentence “Oops, your files hava been encrypted!” set on your Desktop. At the time of analysis, this malicious application did not encrypt any files, but specialists at 411-spyware.com suspect that the tested sample was not working properly, so there is a huge possibility that you will find your files encrypted if you ever encounter this infection. ...
Mc Ransomware
Mc Ransomware or Minecraft Ransomware is supposed to be a malicious file-encrypting application, but our specialists report it is unable to lock any files. Moreover, the malware does not even create or display a ransom note claiming the user has to pay a ransom. On the other hand, since the malware is a lot like threats named Csgo Ransomware and Pubg Ransomware that we have recently tested as well we doubt the cybercriminals who created it were planning on asking for money. It may sound funny, but Pubg Ransomware asked to play a game for 60 minutes to decrypt damaged files and Csgo Ransomware did not ask to play but did show a timer, which suggests its creators might have planned to ask their victims to play Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. ...
Csgo Ransomware
Csgo Ransomware is a lot similar to Pubg Ransomware; it is just it is a lot less functional. It would seem the malicious application does not even encrypt any files or show a proper ransom note. Therefore, we could say the malware is not much of a threat. On the other hand, it is possible the infection is still in the development stage, which would mean it might be updated. Consequently, we recommend being cautious with it. The truth is, it is still unknown if Csgo Ransomware is even being distributed yet, but if you do encounter this malicious application you should erase it at once with no hesitation. ...
Randomlocker Ransomware
Researchers at 411-spyware.com constantly monitor the web for new harmful malware, and they have recently discovered Randomlocker Ransomware. To tell you the truth, it was not working properly at the time of research. To be more specific, it did not encrypt any files automatically. Instead, the encryption started only when researchers clicked the Start button on the small window opened by the ransomware infection. This shows that, at that time, Randomlocker Ransomware was still in development. It does not mean that you cannot encounter it. ...

Maps Driving Directions
There is a reason why your homepage has been changed to Search.searchmmap.com. The sudden appearance of this page clearly shows that Maps Driving Directions has been installed on your computer. Even though it does look useful at first glance, it is not a beneficial application, believe us. Instead, almost all researchers classify it as a browser hijacker. It has been classified as a hijacker because of the changes it applies without the user’s knowledge. The promoted web page Search.searchmmap.com does not differ much from ordinary search providers the way it looks, but we can assure you that it is not a 100% trustworthy search provider, so you should be very careful with it if you decide to use it to perform web searches. ...
