Cleanserp.net
If you have encountered Cleanserp.net, you have to think about a few things. First of all, what is the deal with this suspicious search engine? Have you been redirected to it abruptly? Has it corrupted your default browser, and your homepage and/or default search provider were modified without your permission?

StrutterGear Ransomware
StrutterGear Ransomware looks a lot like Jigsaw Ransomware. Since Jigsaw Ransomware is a Ransomware as a Service (RaaS) type of malware, StrutterGear Ransomware could be created by hackers who purchased it. The malicious program might be extremely harmful because it may have the ability to not only encipher particular data with a secure cryptosystem but also delete part of it within specific time intervals. Unfortunately, without the decryption key, there is nothing the victim could do to decipher affected data. Not even the malware’s removal would save enciphered files, although it would stop the infection from erasing them. ...
Traffic-media.co
Traffic-media.co is not a malicious program but a devious adware server. If your operating system in connection to it, your web browser is likely filled with questionable third-party web content. Usually, such connection is initiated and kept in place by a suspicious third-party program: most commonly an adware program is responsible for that. In the majority of cases due to such connectivity surfing the web becomes a much more bothersome and annoying experience. What is even worse is that in some instances the devious server could provide potentially dangerous online content that could expose your operating system to malicious web content. ...
ScenicHomepage Toolbar
ScenicHomepage Toolbar is yet another useless and potentially risky tool from the infamous Mindspark family of bad toolbars. This family has already given us dozens of similar and identical featured search pages, including OnlineWorkSuite Toolbar, InternetSpeedRadar Toolbar, and EasyDirectionsFinder Toolbar. Since these browser extensions do not mean severe danger and there is nothing malicious about them, we cannot call them malware infections. This is why we have put them all into the potentially unwanted program (PUP) category. Mind you, this does not mean that you can never get burnt by leaving this PUP in your browsers. ...
Unlckr Ransomware
Unlckr Ransomware is yet another malicious program that you must avoid at all times. If, unfortunately, it is already up and running on your personal computer, be sure to execute its complete removal without any hesitation. This is crucial since having a ransomware program fully running on your personal computer for just a short time could have devastating outcomes, to put it lightly. This application, like a lot of its counterparts, is fully capable of locking huge amounts of data on the affected computer without requiring any authorization whatsoever. ...
Russianews1.ru
If your browsers open a suspicious website Russianews1.ru which then immediately opens a third-party page with a bunch of advertisements on it, this might be a sign that a malicious application associated with this Russian domain has entered your computer successfully and applied changes on it. On the other hand, if you have encountered Russianews1.ru only once, it is more likely that a certain website you have visited or a link you have clicked on is untrustworthy. Unfortunately, the majority of users who make complaints about the presence of advertisements on their screens have an untrustworthy application associated with Russianews1.ru active on their computers. ...
NSMF Ransomware
Cyber criminals have released a new ransomware infection NSMF Ransomware recently. At present, it does not encrypt a single file even though a ransom note it leaves for users informs them that their files have all been locked. Since it is the major activity ransomware-type infections perform, specialists working at 411-spyware.com suspect that this threat is not working properly or it is still in the development stage. If you have a version of NSMF Ransomware which has not encrypted your files, it does not mean that you can keep it there because cyber criminals might release an update in the future and it might get it after connecting to its server. ...

Its description in the Chrome Web store (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/photor/jndegkabfmfeaiddoinfcmbdndcdaago?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher-info-dialog) tells users that it will enhance their browsing and searching experience by changing the background every 6 hours. You will really see beautiful pictures when you open your homepage or a New Tab page; however, your favorite pages will be gone. What Photor does not tell users is that it will not set beautiful pictures as backgrounds on their default pages. ...
Greatzip
Greatzip is an application that works as a file compression tool. The information provided on its official website greatzip.com tells users that it is a simple, but yet powerful file compressor. Research has shown that it is based on 7-zip, a well-known open source software working as a free file archiver, so it shares similarities with this tool too.
