Search.htextfrompc.co
Search.htextfrompc.co is the search engine that you will face if you download Text From PC, an extension that is meant to provide you with access to “texting sites.” It is possible that this browser hijacker will be linked to different extensions in the future, but, right now, this is the one we have found representing the suspicious search engine.

On Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers, this hijacker takes over the homepage. On Chrome – as well as the other two – it hijacks the New Tab. ...
Toothy
Toothy is a suspicious extension you might find on the list of add-ons on your Google Chrome browser. Some users download it from the Chrome Web Store expecting that it is a useful extension, whereas others are forced to install it by the malicious pop-up that takes over the entire screen and does not let users close it until they agree to install the promoted extension, i.e., Toothy. Either way, you must delete this piece of software from your browser because it is not one of those browser extensions that can be trusted.

Ykcol Ransomware
Ykcol Ransomware is a dangerous and severe threat that is indeed a new variant of the infamous Locky Ransomware. The creators seem to lack creativity and ended up with a reversed name of the original vicious program.

Smart Registry Care, Advanced-PCFixer, and Magic PC Cleaner are only some of these programs that are practically worthless because whatever they claim to do and may not even do right is just not enough to improve your PC performance in any visible way or make it more secure. ...
