Pirvatesearch Extension
After adding Pirvatesearch Extension on Google Chrome, the browser’s user may feel like he is forced to search with only one particular search engine, so if you prefer other tools to Yahoo, the application’s presence might become undesirable. To make matters worse, the research shows this plugin could display untrustworthy advertising content. Because of these qualities, our specialists came to a decision that the extension should be categorized as a browser hijacker. If you do not like the idea this threat could limit your browsing, we encourage you to take a look at the recommended deletion steps placed below the text. ...
LightningCrypt Ransomware
There is a new Ransomware-type program called LightningCrypt Ransomware being distributed on the web. This program is rather new as it first appeared on the 25th of May, 2017. This program is set to encrypt your files and demand that you pay a 0.17 BTC ransom to decrypt them. However, you cannot trust cyber criminals to decrypt your files after you have paid, so you might want to consider removing this ransomware instead. Your computer might become infected with this ransomware by email spam or malicious downloads, so if you do not have an anti-malware program on your PC and launch the executable of this ransomware, then your files will become encrypted. ...
Bountysearch
Bountysearch is an obscure browser extension that only works in Google Chrome and claims that with it you can “earn bounties by helping people search”, whatever that really means. In fact, you cannot find any detailed description about this tool to understand how exactly you can earn money by using this extension. What we have found is that this application may redirect you to potentially unsafe websites, which is not only annoying but can also become dangerous if you engage with a suspicious website and its content. We cannot call this potential threat a dangerous application; therefore, we have categorized it as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). ...
Yyto Ransomware

The only reason this application enters your computer is money. It tells you to contact the people behind it so that you could find out more about the ransom payment. However, you should not succumb to these threats. Instead, remove Yyto Ransomware from your computer right now and protect your PC from harm. ...
OnlineWorkSuite Toolbar
If you have installed OnlineWorkSuite Toolbar, you must have let in MyWay search tools as well because the toolbar always comes bundled with it. Both are created by Mindspark Interactive Network, and so it is not that surprising that they are bundled together. Nonetheless, that does not mean that it is okay to be forced into changing your homepage settings, and that is exactly what happens when you install the extension. Notably, you will not need to change the homepage if you install the extension onto Google Chrome, but you will be forced to accept a new homepage if you install it onto Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. ...
Fbi Anti-piracy Warning Screen Locker
The hackers behind Fbi Anti-piracy Warning Screen Locker are trying to scare users into paying a ransom by threatening with a fifteen-year jail sentence. However, the severe sentence for activities like downloading pirated software or watching porn is the reason why the warning looks highly suspicious. Not to mention the required fine is asked to be paid in MoneyPak cards bought from a supermarket. Thus, if you encountered this malware, we would advise you to pay no attention to anything it says and get rid of it right away. ...

Search.searchfpdf.com

LockedByte Ransomware
A new ransomware infection LockedByte Ransomware sharing similarities with Deos Ransomware, which our specialists analyzed some time ago, has been recently detected by specialists. It is not identical to Does Ransomware, but it performs the same activities. Of course, it is nothing very surprising because ransomware infections act similarly – they illegally enter computers, find where users’ important files are located, and then encrypt them all without mercy so that it would be easier to extract money from users. In the case of LockedByte Ransomware, it might also open a window on Desktop after encrypting your files. ...
Search.searchisemail.com
Have you discovered a new website looking like a reputable search tool set as your homepage? If this website is Search.searchisemail.com, you must have allowed a browser hijacker to enter your PC, and it has already hijacked all your web browsers’ settings.

They not only look similarly, but also act the same. All of them pretend to be legitimate search tools, but, despite the convincing outward appearance, they have all the typical features of untrustworthy search engines. ...
