filmsNow Search
If you have filmsNow Search in your Google Chrome browser, it is possible that you are a movies fan and installed this questionable browser extension to be able to watch films online. However, it is also possible that you have no idea how this potentially unwanted program (PUP) slithered onto your system and ended up in your browser. As a matter of fact, this is not the first time we have seen such an extension. This PUP belongs to a growing family of equally useless and questionable tools, including MoviesNet Search, NetGaming Search, and FilmsNet Start. ...
netGamer Start
Not every extension is useful, and not every extension is trustworthy. Although netGamer Start is represented as a great add-on for your Google Chrome web browser, it is not all that great. First of all, it cannot serve you in a highly beneficial way. Second, one of its services is not trustworthy and should not be used at all. So, do you want a tool that is not useful and, on top of that, might be unreliable? We are sure that you do not, which must be the reason you are researching the removal of this PUP (stands for “potentially unwanted program”). ...
Pegasus Spyware Activated Fake Alert
If you are introduced to the Pegasus Spyware Activated Fake Alert, you must close it immediately. You certainly should not pay attention to the information that is represented via this bogus notification that virtual schemers have set up to trick you into doing something risky. Most likely, you were rerouted to the page representing the scam, but there are several scenarios how this could have happened. You could have clicked a malicious link hidden behind a misleading pop-up notification or shown via an unreliable website. In a different scenario, the redirecting is controlled by malware that has slithered into your operating system at an unknown time. ...
Search.hmylocaltransit.co
Search.hmylocaltransit.co is almost identical to search applications called Search.directionsandmap.com, Search.searchtmp.com, Search.searchbrs.com, Search.searchlttrn.com, and others. Therefore, our researchers decided it should also be classified as a browser hijacker just like the mentioned threats. This category does not suggest the program could be malicious, but it does not indicate it as a trustworthy tool either.

Retis Ransomware
Retis Ransomware is a new danger to the files stored on your computer if you are French speaker. We have found that this ransomware program mostly attacks French-speaking users and encrypts their personal files. As a matter of fact, this version only limits its encryption to certain main default media directories. In other words, if you are not in a French-speaking country or you do not keep your precious files in the targeted directories, chances are your files are all safe. Still, this is a threat that you should take seriously even if this first version may not be a finished product. ...
Search.searchws.com
Search.searchws.com is not an application that can be trusted. If it is ever found up and running on your personal computer, make sure to do everything in your power to get rid of it without any hesitation. We urge you to do so because this dubious program has been classified as one more browser hijacker. Such categorization has been made because of this application's intrusive inner workings. As it turns out, it can cause undesirable changes to your browser's default settings without any notification whatsoever. In turn, browsing the web will become a much more annoying and frustrating experience because of those alterations. ...
Gatmog Search Extension
Gatmog Search Extension cannot serve you in a beneficial manner. Although it is promoted as a tool that allegedly can enhance your browsing experience, in reality, its only function is to support the GATMOG Search Engine. When the extension is installed, the default search provider is changed to gatmog.com. This search tool is also represented via the New Tab page. Trusting this tool would be a huge mistake, and so we do not recommend it. If you do, your operating system could be soon beleaguered with malware, and malicious software could also be installed on your operating system. ...
Madbit Ransomware
Madbit Ransomware is a malicious application that encrypts user’s data and marks each locked file with the .enc extension, e.g., maple.jpg.enc, project.docx.enc, and so on. Afterward, it should open a suspicious window containing a text message, or to be more accurate, a ransom note. Through the note, the malware’s creators demand to contact them as soon as possible because the price for their suggested decryption tools depends on how fast the user is. However, instead of rushing to write these hackers an email, we would advise you to read our report and find out more details about Madbit Ransomware. ...
Search.weatherradarforecast.co
Search.weatherradarforecast.co is not a search tool you should trust. The extension/application that is attached to it – Weather Radar Forecast – is not trustworthy either. In fact, this extension was created only to introduce Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer users to the suspicious search tool. That means that if you want to change the homepage or search provider, you might as well do it manually (of course, we do not recommend it). The add-on is useless. Although it is likely that many users will choose to delete Search.weatherradarforecast.co and the add-on associated with it, our researchers believe that many will see no harm in using this suspicious software. ...
FolderShare
FolderShare is a desktop application for sharing data across different computers connected to a single network. The application is available at no charge, but, unfortunately, with some additional components that inhibit users from using their computers as usual. To be more precise, the FolderShare application arrives at a computer bundled with some adware components that flood the user with various advertisements. Although FolderShare has not been found to possess any malicious script, it is categorized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP), just because of the extra unwanted content delivered to your computer. ...
