BadRabbit Ransomware
Specialists at 411-spyware.com have reported about the discovery of a new ransomware-type infection. They have given it a name BadRabbit Ransomware. It has turned out that this new infection is very similar to a well-known ransomware infection Petya Ransomware in a sense that it also modifies the Windows Master Boot Record (MBR). Security specialists say that this infection primarily targets individual users and institutions (it has already affected Kiev’s Subway and Odessa’s Airport) in Eastern Europe; however, it has been noticed that it scans the network for vulnerable computers that could be infiltrated using Windows Server Message Block (SMB) too. ...
Search.officeworksuite.com
Search.officeworksuite.com is a new attempt by Polarity Technologies Ltd. to make some easy money by promoting questionable third parties through the content it may display on your screen. This featured search website is indeed very misleading, i.e., its URL address, which makes you think like it has to do anything with office work. However, it actually provides you with quick links to online gaming pages and other popular sites. When you find this computer in your browsers, it means that a browser hijacker has managed to infiltrate your system. ...
Search.romandos.com
If you ever discover Search.romandos.com active on your computer, make sure to take immediate action to delete it without hesitation. We urge you to do so because this application happens to be yet another browser hijacker that functions in an intrusive and otherwise suspicious manner. It is important to note that the invasive program in question affects only MAC computer; however, regardless of your operating system having a browser hijacker is bothersome, to put it lightly. It should not be surprising that this devious application can make invasive changes to your web browser's default settings without any warning. In consequence, browsing the Internet will become a much more annoying and frustrating experience. ...
Crimson RAT
Have you recently scanned your operating system, and a threat called Crimson RAT (or CrimsonRat Trojan) has been found on your operating system? If it has, you might be in trouble because this RAT – which is short for “remote administration tool” – is a serious threat. Your virtual security could be put on a line if this malicious RAT was running wild on your operating system. The biggest problem is that users do not always understand what is going on because remote administrations tools can be very silent. ...
Search.hplayfreemusic.co
Search.hplayfreemusic.co is a newly discovered browser hijacker from the Polarity Technologies Ltd. family. Other threats that belong to this family include Search.searchlttrn.com, Search.searchwamtv.com, and Search.hdailysocialweb.com. While these browser hijackers can promote links to different websites – at least, the portion of them – they are practically identical. Malware experts even believe that the only reason these hijackers were created was to trick users into interacting with unreliable search results. ...
Pennywise Ransomware
Do you store any important data on your operating system? If you do, hopefully, this data is backed up because it could be a target of Pennywise Ransomware. This ransomware is currently in development stages, and no one knows if it will be unleashed at all, but its predecessor is Jigsaw Ransomware, a well-known file-encrypting infection, and so it must be taken seriously. If this threat worked the way it is meant to, it would infiltrate operating systems, encrypt files, and demand a ransom fee. Unfortunately, those victims whose files are not securely backed up are likely to pay the ransom because, ultimately, that is the only thing that they, allegedly, can do. ...
Brality
Brality is a questionable browser extension that offers you "the greatest search experience available out there" just like most of the similar useless and potentially harmful search pages. We have categorized this tool as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) because you may install it without knowing or realizing, and it might pose an indirect threat to your system even if not the dangerous type. It is also possible that some malware researchers conclude that this is a browser hijacker since it can actually change your browser settings. This PUP only seems to effect your Google Chrome browser. ...
Wallet Protector Extension
If you often shop online, you might find Wallet Protector Extension quite a beneficial piece of software. Specialists say that this extension was developed in Germany. Of course, it can be downloaded by anyone from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/wallet-protector/. Yes, it is the only source users can download it from voluntarily because it is compatible with Mozilla Firefox only. If you have already installed this browser extension, you need to know that it has all the typical features of a potentially unwanted program (PUP). ...
HolidayPhotoEdit Toolbar
HolidayPhotoEdit Toolbar is meant to offer a free photo editor that allows cropping photos, creating collages, and then sharing your creations with friends. Additionally, this seemingly beneficial piece of software is meant to help convert files and even create GIFs. Without a doubt, if you only look at the information that the creator of this PUP (potentially unwanted program) has prepared, you might think that it is a useful and fun tool that you simply cannot pass up. Unfortunately, when you install this extension, it should not be hard for you to realize that it is not all that. ...
WannabeHappy Ransowmare
WannabeHappy Ransomware is a relatively new computer infection that was first spotted on the second half of October of 2017. We have found that it is distributed using email spam and unsafe RDP configurations. Removing this extension is highly recommended because it was designed to encrypt your files and then demand that you pay a ransom in Bitcoins to decrypt them. However, the cybercriminals can trick you as they might not send you the decryption key once you have paid. We recommend that you delete this ransomware because the 500 USD-worth of Bitcoins is too much to pay unless you have files that are worth paying this kind of money. ...
