Globe2 Ransomware
Globe2 Ransomware is a new malware infection, or we should rather say, it is a new variant. We have found that this threat is based on a previous ransomware program called Globe Ransomware, which surfaced last fall. It seems that this ransomware belongs to the same family as Purge ransomware. In fact, we assume that it could be a RaaS type (Ransomware as a Service) ransomware that may be sold on the dark web. This could be the reason why we have seen a couple of other variants emerge in the past year. While this infection is capable of encrypting hundreds of file extensions, which can mean severe damage to your personal files, it already has a free decryptor program available on the net. ...
Payment Ransomware
Payment Ransomware is a new file-encryptor that appears to be targeted at all Windows users who speak Spanish. It is unknown if the threat will target specific regions once it is fully completed, but we have to assume that users in all 20 countries that use the language officially could bet hit. Since many ransomware threats (including Jcoder Ransomware and Crypt888 Ransomware) are known for employing spam email attachments to slip into operating systems unnoticed, we have to warn you against interacting with email messages sent by unfamiliar senders. ...
Search.htrackmyflight.co
Search.htrackmyflight.co is yet another browser hijacker that currently roams the web. If you ever encounter this devious program while browsing the web, make sure to refrain from it at all costs. It goes without saying that we recommend conducting its complete removal if it is already active on your personal computer. You must know that this invasive application can make dubious alterations to your browser's default settings without any warning. As a consequence, browsing the Internet will become a much more bothersome experience than you might think. ...
WannaPeace Ransomware
WannaPeace Ransomware seems to be targeted at users from Portugal since the malicious program’s dropped ransom note is written in Portuguese. The text’s authors claim they do not want to harm their victim’s computers or files on them. Apparently, what they want is just a small contribution to help people who suffer. Needless to say, this could be just a tactic to convince users to pay, and the money these hackers receive might be spent for no one else but themselves. Not to mention, the small contribution they ask for is not so little after all. ...
Jcoder Ransomware
Are you currently dealing with the malicious Jcoder Ransomware? Hopefully, you are not, and you can successfully install appropriate security tools to keep your operating system protected against this threat. It is believed that users still have time because the current version of this malware does not make any real demands, and so it is believed that its creator is still building it. Unfortunately, we cannot know when exactly this threat could be unleashed and when it would start invading operating systems. If you install trustworthy security software, back up your files externally, and stay away from suspicious spam emails – which is how this malware is believed to spread – you should be able to evade it. ...
Ransommine Ransomware
If you are a Minecraft fan, you may be able to decrypt your files after Ransommine Ransomware encrypts them. This new threat should be taken seriously even if it does not seem to be about extorting money from you this time. It appears that these attackers want you to play with Minecraft for an hour in order to automatically decrypt your files. While this may sound like a joke, unfortunately, it is possible that your files will not be decrypted even if you decide to comply. We have found that this ransomware program is based on the good old Hidden Tear Ransomware engine, which has given us several variants already even though it started out as an educational project. ...
NetGaming Search
NetGaming Search is not an application that you want to have active on your personal computer. That is so because it has been classified as a potentially unwanted program because it exhibits invasive functionality. During the investigation, our researchers have discovered that this application can make invasive changes to your browser's default settings without any notification or authorization whatsoever. Unfortunately, it means that browsing the web will become a much more frustrating and otherwise bothersome task. You should also know that this potentially unwanted program could be distributed in suspicious ways, which is a dangerous instance. ...
Eternity Ransomware
The Eternity ransomware seems threatening judging from its user interface featuring skulls with ugly grimaces. Fortunately, the Eternity ransomware is one of those threats that are created for testing how ransomware works and can be removed from the computer after decrypting files with a decryption key. Like the vast majority of destructive ransomware infections, the Eternity ransomware is capable of encrypting files and displaying a ransom warning, but the key difference between this and other threats is that Eternity encrypts files in a given location, which is the directory, Test, leaving other files on the computer intact. ...
WantMoney Ransomware
WantMoney Ransomware might be targeted at people from China because a part of its displayed ransom note provides a text in Chinese. Nevertheless, we cannot say users from other countries might not encounter it since the ransom note is written in English too. Either way, we do not recommend concentrating on the hackers’ demands. They may promise to help you decipher data their malicious program encrypted, but as soon as the payment is made such promises could be forgotten. Therefore, instead of risking the asked sum, we would advise users to eliminate the malware. ...
Search.socialaddons.top
Malware experts at our internal labs have discovered yet another suspicious application, which is known as Search.socialaddons.top. In fact, our researchers have classified this program as one more browser hijacker, which you must delete if it is ever discovered up and running on your personal computer. That is important because this suspicious program can make browsing the web a frustrating and bothersome experience. That is due to the changes made to your browser's default settings by this hijacker triggers. ...
