Whycry Ransomware
Has Whycry Ransomware invaded your operating system and encrypted all of your personal files? If that is the case, you must find hundreds of unreadable files with the “.whycry” extension attached to their names. Of course, that is if you can circumvent the lock-down of your screen. Luckily, at this time, the victims of this malicious threat are likely to find that the message represented via the screen-size ransom note is misleading.

Secure Surf
Secure Surf is a new browser extension that may not be as secure as its name suggests. This tool only works with your Google Chrome browser so if you prefer to use other browsers, it would not even make any sense to install it. However, it is quite possible that you did not even install it knowingly but more like the part of a software bundle. Although we have found that this extension does not mean any direct threat to you or to your system, it is still possible that the search results it shows you may be corrupted at times and contain questionable third-party ads and links. For this reason we have categorized it as a potentially unwanted program, or PUP. ...

Scarab Ransomware
If your operating system does not have a great defense mechanism, it might be a matter of time before the devious Scarab Ransomware finds its way in. Once it does, it immediately encrypts your files. The infection primarily encrypts files that are considered personal (e.g., photos and text files), but that depends on the files that are actually stored on your PC. After encryption, it immediately removes shadow volume copies (calls “vssadmin Delete Shadows /All /Quiet” command), and that is supposed to stop you from recovering your files manually. The ransomware also creates a TXT file to explain the situation and to demand a ransom payment. ...

We cannot say that this extension presents a real and present danger to you or to your system but we cannot tolerate even the smallest possibility of indirect threats. ...
Takeitnow.club
Have you been routed to Takeitnow.club and offered an installer representing Fontfully, a potentially unwanted program that promises to change the fonts on any site? If you have, there are two main scenarios.

In any case, you should refrain from installing the extension because it is too suspicious and unpredictable. For all you know, it could be set up to record and leak personal information. ...
Kryptonite Ransomware
Kryptonite Ransomware is a malicious application which usually arrives on computers next to a simple snake game users willingly download from the web. Undoubtedly, they do not know that they have downloaded a game bundled with a crypto-threat until they find out that files with .png, .jpg, .bmp, .mp4, .drw, .indt, .ptb, .css, .zipx, .tar, .7z, .wma, .mov, .txt, .pdf, and a bunch of other extensions can no longer be opened. Unlike other ransomware-type infections, Kryptonite Ransomware does not change the original extensions of these encrypted files, so not all the users soon realize that their files have been encrypted. ...
Search.searchfzlm.com
Search.searchfzlm.com is not a reliable search engine because the application is considered to be a browser hijacker. According to our researchers, it may hijack Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome by changing the browser’s homepage, default search engine, or new tab page. Moreover, it would seem there is a chance the search tool could place additional advertising content among the results. Apparently, such ads may advertise third-party web pages that could be potentially malicious. For this reason, we advise you pay closer attention while searching the Internet with Search.searchfzlm.com. ...
