Bitcoin-x2 Ransowmare
Bitcoin-x2 Ransomware is a threat that one day might illegally enter your computer and lock your files if you are not cautious enough. Even though it is considered that this ransomware infection enters users’ computers illegally, they contribute to its entrance to a great extent. It is not a surprise because Bitcoin-x2 Ransomware pretends to be a useful tool. Specifically speaking, it tries to convince users that it is a Bitcoin multiplier. If users believe that it can be useful and download it on their computers, it asks them to transfer some money, the so-called “deposit” in exchange for more money. ...
Satan’s Doom Ransomware
Satan’s Doom Ransomware is a serious infection, and you cannot ignore it. In fact, you might be unable to ignore it even if you want to because when this infection invades the operating system, it might be able to lock the screen. Behind the lockdown, the ransomware hides encrypted files. It is hard to say how many of them could be encrypted, and while some could look at a few important files, others could find thousands of important personal files locked. Unfortunately, the threat encrypts these files in a very complicated manner, and so decrypting them is impossible. ...

Your Email Accounts Toolbar
If settings of your Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browsers have been altered, the chances are high that Your Email Accounts Toolbar has been installed on your computer. There are hundreds of programs that can apply changes to users’ web browsers; however, you can be sure that Your Email Accounts Toolbar is the one that is active on your system if you have started seeing http://search.hyouremailaccounts.com/ when you launch your web browser.

Mozilla Firefox Critical Error
Mozilla Firefox Critical Error is neither the first nor the last misleading notification to be introduced to Mozilla Firefox users online. Notifications like this one are created by schemers who are using them for all kinds of reasons. Some of them could promote links to unreliable websites and installers. Others – and most scam alerts researched in our internal lab are of this kind – introduce users to fictitious helpline numbers, via which schemers could communicate with unsuspecting users. A few other scams include “The Tungsten Rounded Font Was Not Found” fake alert, “Apple Security Breach” fake alert, and “Your Apple Device Has A Virus” scam. ...
nJoyMovies Search Plus
nJoyMovies Search Plus seems to be a clone of other similar potentially unwanted programs that we recently reviewed, for example, nJoyMovies Now, nJoySport Search, nJoyFilm Now, etc. Same as the mentioned examples, the extension provides a particular search tool that is said to provide the user “with a better web search experience.” However, just like with other of its clones, we doubt the application can provide everything it promises. As a matter of fact, we believe it might display suspicious advertising content among its gathered search results. ...
Potentially Unwanted Application UpgradeSys Comes Pre-Installed on Android Devices
Have you received a notification about UpgradeSys? This is an app that can be found pre-installed on some Android devices and that is classified as a potentially unwanted application (PUA). This app does NOT come pre-installed on all Android devices. In fact, until recently, it was believed that it was installed only on devices sold online by low-reputation vendors. Some recent reports show, however, that legitimate vendors might be selling devices with this app as well. How has this happened? That is something that we still need to figure out, but it was found that the company that has created this app is also responsible for Adups, which is a much more vicious and intrusive app that came pre-installed on Android devices back in 2016. ...
Cryptomaniac Ransomware
Cryptomaniac Ransomware is a threat that has been developed and is distributed to extract money from users. It is the reason it encrypts files on users’ computers right away when it infiltrates them. It was first detected in December, 2017, which means that it is a brand new threat. Consequently, it is not a surprise that it is not a prevalent ransomware infection. The chances are high that it will never become a popular threat, but it does not mean that users cannot encounter it, so we have decided to prepare this report in order to let users know what they can expect from Cryptomaniac Ransomware and how it is usually distributed so that some of them could still prevent it from entering their computers. ...
Cyclone Ransomware
Cyclone Ransomware is a destructive computer infection that takes data hostage and demands for a ransom fee of 0.005 Bitcoin. The infection has been noticed in mid-December 2017 and is also known to have targeted the Intel 386, originally known as 80368, and some later processors. The Cyclone threat is built using the Pyphon programming language, which was used to create threats such as HollyCrypt, Locker, CryPy and some other threats. Cyclone Ransomware displays a visual warning informing a victim that all files are encrypted using AES-256 bit encryption and that decryption is possible only after submitting the ransom given at the bottom of the warning. The requirement to pay for the decryption key should be disregarded, because the money submission does not guarantee a fix. Instead of paying up, it is essential to remove Cyclone Ransomware and shield the system from future malware attacks. ...
nJoyFilm Now
nJoyFilm Now is most likely a clone of our recently reviewed potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) called nJoySport and nJoyMovies. The extension’s descriptions on the Chrome Web Store page says with it the user can “Now enjoy immediate access to information about unlimited movies, TV series, trailers and movie reviews - with just one click.” This might be true, but it is also true that you could find the film content you are looking for with google.com, search.yahoo.com, or any other reputable search engine. ...
