musicFriendly Search
A program known as musicFriendly Search should not be active on your personal computer. In fact, malware experts at our internal labs urge you to delete this application because it exhibits suspicious and otherwise invasive functionality. As it turns out, this question program can make undesirable changes to your browser's default settings without any warning whatsoever. In turn, browsing the Internet will become a much more annoying and frustrating experience, to put it lightly. Due to such dubious inner workings, our researchers have classified it as a potentially unwanted program. ...
Ranion 1.07 Ransomware
Ranion 1.07 Ransomware is a new danger to computer users that may come in many forms. The truth is that it is not a single ransomware program that you should take seriously when it hits you, but there can be several newer and newer versions emerging. In fact, this is a so-called RaaS, or Ransomware as a Service. It can be purchased on the dark net. Although the creators say that this is not a malicious program but an educational one, we beg to differ. It is sold in three packages at different prices. Since it is a customizable ransomware program, the variants may show slightly different traits. ...
Crypt888 Ransomware
Crypt888 Ransomware is not a new computer threat; as a matter of fact, this malware infection saw the light of day more than a year ago as Mircop Ransomware. It was spreading heavily back in 2016; although, we did see it reappear earlier this year. Fortunately, this particular ransomware program does not mean irrevocable damage to your files since it is actually possible to decrypt them using a free tool. Of course, if you are not an advanced user, it may still cause you a headache to find all your important files inaccessible and unusable. ...
Wannacry Detected Scam
Wannacry Detected Scam is represented using a misleading security warning that, supposedly, signals the entrance of the devious Wannacry ransomware. This infection is very well-known because it is one of the most devastating file-encryptors to hit in 2017. While the original infection has been contained, various wannabes are still popping up from time to time. All in all, the scam has nothing to do with any of them. It simply banks on the fact that most users will “listen up” when they see the name of this devious threat attached to a message that, allegedly, is sent by Microsoft. ...
Hc7 Ransomware
A new variant of Hc6 Ransomware has been spotted. It has been given a name Hc7 Ransomware. Despite the new name it has, it is basically the same ransomware infection because our specialists could not identify many differences between these two malicious applications. As has been observed during the analysis, both versions have been developed using Python, a widely-used programming language. Also, they both open the CMD window when the encryption of files starts. Finally, they both make it impossible to access pictures, videos, music, documents, and a bunch of other files on compromised machines. ...
My Email Signin
If you use multiple email providers, you might believe My Email Signin to be a great asset. This seemingly beneficial tool is represented as an extension, and it can be downloaded by all using Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox browsers. The creator of the extension (Polarity Technologies Ltd.) set up http://myemailsignin.com/ to introduce users to it. The installer of this add-on is also available at the Chrome web store (extension ID is aclebadgjklemddbgcjaoggkedebfgah). When installing the extension, the user has to agree with certain changes that pertain to homepage, search provider, and new tab settings. ...
Search.searchtzc.com
Search.searchtzc.com is not an application that should be up and running on your operating system. It is essential to remove it because it is nothing more than yet another browser hijacker. Such classification has been made by our malware experts since this devious program functions in an extremely invasive manner. Just like any of its counterparts, it can make unwanted and unauthorized changes to your browser's default settings. Due to that, browsing the web will become a much more annoying and bothersome experience. ...
Search.flagbeg.com
If you find Search.flagbeg.com, a questionable search engine page, in your browser, this means that you are a Mac owner. How do we know it for sure? Well, this potentially unwanted program (PUP), which can also be called a browser hijacker as a matter of fact, can only be found infecting Mac OSX machines. In fact, we have found that this PUP is identical to Search.ishimotto.com and Search.pensirot.com, and can show up in your Safari, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome browsers. This search page may look legitimate but it can, unfortunately, present to you potentially unsafe third-party advertisements and other questionable contents. ...
Spirals New Tab
You need to be cautious about the programs and extensions you install because there are plenty of unreliable and malicious ones. Spirals New Tab is an extension that our research team classifies as a PUP (potentially unwanted programs), and it is not recommended that you install it onto your operating system. Although it is not a critically dangerous Trojan, browser hijacker, or another kind of malicious threat, it is believed that this PUP can be used to spy on users on behalf of undisclosed third parties. While it is unlikely that you will be exposed to advertisements or unreliable search results while using this strange extension, it certainly is not recommended that you continue trusting or using it. ...
Package Tracker Pro
Package Tracker Pro is a browser extension and a potentially unwanted program or PUP in short. Our specialists reveal it could record information about the user while he surfs the Internet to later provide him with “more relevant” or in other words targeted advertising. However, it is not the worst thing yet, because even though these advertisements could disturb your browsing, they might also redirect you to unreliable web pages belonging to unknown third parties. For those who would not like to come across such ads, we would recommend removing the PUP right away. ...
