Search.emailaccountlogin.co
Search.emailaccountlogin.co is available with a browser extension that is supposed to let you access your email account faster; however, it does not seem like it is possible. All the plugin does is provide links to email login pages. No doubt many users bookmark necessary email login websites and those who do not could do so instead of downloading this suspicious search engine and a browser hijacker. What we have in mind is that no matter how you access your email provider’s site you will still have to type in your login name and a password. Therefore, we believe Search.emailaccountlogin.co creators may have exaggerated the extension’s description, and so it might be useless. ...
Crbr Encryptor Ransomware
Crbr Encryptor Ransomware is a malicious application developed by malicious software creators with the only goal in mind – to extract money from innocent users who discover their files encrypted after their machines get infected with ransomware. The encryption of files is only one of two the most noticeable activities this infection performs on compromised machines. Researchers have also noticed that this ransomware infection keeps connecting to a bunch of different servers, e.g. x4d0c3905.dyn.telefonica.de:6893 and web3.commentfaiton.com:6893. ...
PSCrypt Ransomware
If PSCrypt Ransomware manages to sneak onto your system without your knowledge, you may have to say goodbye to your precious files unless you have a recent backup, of course. Such ransomware infections always teach us about prevention and how we should protect our important files by uploading them to cloud storage or by copying them onto removable drives. Our research shows that this vicious program mainly targets the Ukraine, but it can also be found spreading in Russia and the Netherlands. Once this ransomware has encrypted the targeted files on your system, you are informed about how you can get the decryptor to recover your files. ...
Scanfolder Disk
Scanfolder Disk is a disk scanner/disk optimizer that should find duplicate files, help to remove them, and provide more information about specific files and folders. Since it is promoted as a beneficial piece of software, it is not surprising that some users download it willingly from the web and install it on their computers. Strangely, it is impossible to get it from its official website http://scanfolder.space, so users can download it from third-party pages only. Since not all the users download this application voluntarily, there is no doubt that this program can also enter PCs without permission, for example, it might arrive on computers bundled with third-party software in malicious software installers. ...
Oxar Ransomware
If you suddenly get a small dialog box saying “All your personal files as been encrypted,” then it is likely that your PC has been infected with Oxar Ransomware. Removing this program is highly recommended because complying with its demands to pay a ransom will get you nowhere. Indeed, its creators might not give you the promised decryption key, so your files can remain encrypted indefinitely. In this article, we will discuss this program’s distribution methods, functionality, and removal. So if you have been affected by this malware, then please continue reading. ...
Ransed Ransomware
Ransed Ransomware is an infection that, at the time of analysis, was not fully functional. Although this infection has the potential to encrypt files and request a ransom in return of a decryptor, the C&C server used by the developer of this infection is down. According to our researchers, the only server the threat is likely to connect to is ransed.ddns.net, but since this server is down, all that the infection can do is show the “A friendly message” pop-up indicating that the server is offline. Has the server been taken down permanently, or will it be restored? Unfortunately, we do not know this, and so we cannot predict whether or not the malicious ransomware will start spreading. ...
Search.heasyspeedtest.co
If you come across a search engine named Search.heasyspeedtest.co, we would advise you to think carefully before using it. As you see, the search tool falls under the classification of browser hijackers. Such application might be spread through doubtful sources, and it may introduce the user to potentially malicious advertising content since it could be displaying results through a modified Yahoo search engine. Not to mention its presence can be annoying to any user who prefers using a different search tool or wants a particular web page for his start page. ...
Petya+ Ransomware
A new ransomware-type infection Petya+ Ransomware has been spotted. It shares similarities with the well-known ransomware infection Petya Ransomware, but it is definitely not as harmful as this popular threat. It does not even encrypt files, as research conducted by experts at 411-spyware.com has shown. You might wonder why it has been classified as ransomware if it does not lock files. The answer to this question is easy – it still demands money from users. Unlike other ransomware-type infections, it opens three different windows to scare users into giving cyber criminals their money. ...
BitPaymer Ransomware
BitPaymer Ransomware is a typical ransomware-type infection that enters computers having one and only goal of encrypting files and then getting money in exchange for their decryption. Although it does not differ much from threats analyzed some time ago by our researchers, there is still one feature that distinguishes it from the rest of the file-encrypting threats – it targets companies mainly and threatens to ruin the business reputation by sending the company’s private sensitive data to media if cyber criminals do not receive a ransom within 72 hours. Money is all ransomware infections want from their victims and, unfortunately, there are some users out there who are ready to pay the money required. ...
Bubble Ransomware
Bubble Ransomware is a new malicious threat spreading on the web that can take your most precious files hostage and demand a ransom fee from you for the decryption key. While this may sound shocking to you, let us tell you right now that this ransomware program only looks frightening but there is already a solution out there for you to recover your files. As a matter of fact, we have found that this malicious program is most likely the work of some amateur hacker wannabes. The code itself contains a number of errors that were also discovered by eager malware hunters, who managed to come up with a free decryption tool not long after this dangerous-looking threat hit the web. ...
