Whiterose Ransomware
Whiterose Ransomware is a sneaky threat that might enter any user’s computer illegally even though it is not considered a prevalent infection yet. It has been categorized as a ransomware infection because it has been observed by our researchers who have carried out a thorough analysis that it mercilessly locks users’ files immediately after it infiltrates their computers successfully. Without a doubt, it does that so that cyber criminals could have a chance to obtain some money from users. Do not pay for the Whiterose Decryptor even if you are told that everything will return to normal and your files will be unlocked soon after making a payment because you cannot be 100% sure that this will really happen. ...
EGGLocker Ransomware
EGGLocker Ransomware can lock your screen and disrupt your computer’s performance by killing processes like explorer.exe. However, our specialists say the malware might have been created also for enciphering user’s files with a strong encryption algorithm, although none of the samples so far were able to do this. As you see, such threats are usually created to extort money from users by asking to pay a ransom in exchange for a decryption tool. Of course, EGGLocker Ransomware’s creators could try to trick users, but since the screen can be unlocked with a simple system restart, the victim can learn that none of his files were enciphered rather fast. ...
Vurten Ransomware
Vurten Ransomware is a regular ransomware infection that might slither into your system unexpectedly. This program is not wide-spread, so it is very likely that you will not find a lot of information about it. However, we know for sure that getting infected with this ransomware application is as frustrating as it could get, so you should do everything you can to avoid this infection. ...
Bansomqare Wanna Ransomware
Bansomqare Wanna Ransomware is a threat that will enter your computer to lock files on it. Cyber criminals have developed a malicious application locking personal files, including documents and various media files, on victims’ computers in order to extract some money from users more easily. They know that users will not transfer a cent to them unless they give them a reason to make a payment, so they have programmed Bansomqare Wanna Ransomware to lock almost all users’ files, including some Windows OS files. As a consequence, there is a possibility that your Windows could no longer load up after the restart. ...
Smart PC Tweaker
Smart PC Tweaker is represented as a trustworthy and highly beneficial system optimizer; however, our research has shown that this program is unreliable, and it was created for the sole purpose of tricking gullible Windows users into paying money. If you have been tricked into installing and trusting this potentially unwanted program (PUP) too, you want to remove it as soon as possible. If you have paid money for it, you might want to try to get it back first. Ultimately, this program cannot serve you in a beneficial manner, and the sooner you get rid of it, the better. ...
Memory Game Plugin
Memory Game Plugin is a piece of software developed by Russian software developers. It promises to allow users to play the so-called Memory Game for free. It is presented as the game that will enable users “to have fun and to spend time or pass the evening in the company of friends.” Because of this, it does not surprise us that a handful of people have already installed this extension on their computers. If you clicked the Download/Installation button located at the Chrome Web Store (it has three different links there) or the official website (it has three official websites it can be downloaded from) too and thus Memory Game Plugin has affected your browser, you should remove it today. ...
Avcrypt Ransomware
You might have let Avcrypt Ransomware in by opening a corrupted spam email attachment. The infection could have slithered into your operating system via a malicious software bundle as well. Other methods of distribution exist as well, which is why it is hard to say how exactly the threat could invade your computer. Unfortunately, not all users realize that the infection has entered because it is silent. If it was not, its chances of encrypting files successfully would be minimized. If it encrypts the files successfully, the + symbol is added to the name; for example, a file named “picture.jpg” is presented as “+picture.jpg” after the encryption. ...
MusixLib Start
MusixLib Start is not a new browser extension, but, somehow, it has emerged in our cross-hairs only recently. If you are "ready to improve your experience" regarding web searches, you may think it is a good idea to have such a potentially unwanted program (PUP) in your browser. We certainly beg to differ, though. First of all, this tool only works under Google Chrome, so what if it is not your preferred browser? Well, in this case, good for you. But why not install a tool that you could actually use in any of your main browsers? This PUP changes your homepage and new tab settings as it sets its own featured search page. ...
BabyNameReady Toolbar
BabyNameReady Toolbar seems to be another toolbar of an untrustworthy company known as Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. Our specialists have classified it as a potentially unwanted program because it may alter user’s browser preferences, display modified search results, and could be spread through unreliable channels. To learn more about the application’s working manner we encourage you to keep reading our report and get to know BabyNameReady Toolbar better. Since our researchers recommend not to waste any time with this potentially unwanted program; we will be placing recommended deletion steps a bit below this article. ...
Services.srchweb.org
Services.srchweb.org is considered a browser hijacker, so do not be surprised if you ever find it set as your homepage, search tool, or simply New Tab page on the web browser you use one day. The biggest chance to encounter this threat has those users who keep their computers unprotected. Are you reading this article because you have encountered Services.srchweb.org? If this is the reason you have found this report and started reading it, make sure Services.srchweb.org disappears from all affected browsers as soon as possible (you will find more about the removal of browser hijackers in the last paragraph). ...
