LockOn Ransomware
LockOn Ransomware is a new malicious program that seem like a work still in progress but it does not mean it cannot or will not harm your files by encrypting them. This current sample that we have found spreading actually only targets one single folder on your desktop that most users may not even have. It also only encrypts files if you press a button on the ransom note application window.

QuasarRAT
When the silent QuasarRAT slithers into your Windows operating system, it can permit malicious parties to do all kinds of things on your PC remotely. This threat is classified as a RAT, or Remote Access Trojan, and since its source code is available online, anyone can use it. Due to this, there are many variants of the original program, Quasar, that was released by MaxXor in 2014. Unfortunately, security tools might have a hard time catching and removing all versions of this malicious threat, but if the anti-malware program is up-to-date, it should be capable of detecting and eliminating this infection before it does anything bad. ...
Ender Ransomware

Also, while testing the infection, it was discovered it could not encipher files located on the targeted device. Thus, if you receive Ender Ransomware, there is a chance it will not damage your data, but it could lock your screen. ...

It was found that the allegedly beneficial extension can display ads whenever you browse the web, and it can also modify the search results you see to include sponsored links as well. Does that sound to you like a beneficial service? ...
Lite PDF Reader
Lite PDF Reader is a free PDF reader application that is probably the worst we have seen lately. This software is so "lite" that it does not even associate with .pdf files. This means that you need to open this application first in order to be able to open a .pdf file. So you can forget about double-clicking a file and have it opened easily. As a matter of fact, we have categorized it as a potentially unwanted program, or PUP. This clearly shows that this software does not cause direct danger to your computer, but there is still a chance that it has questionable background processes and that it may collect information about you that could be shared with potentially unreliable third parties. ...
