BlackSheep Ransomware
BlackSheep Ransomware is a malicious program that takes your files and the computer itself as hostages. The cyber criminals behind the malware demand to pay a ransom in fifty-four hours or else they threaten to increase the price three times.

AntiGravity Tab
If you are looking for a tool to customize your homepage and New Tab page on Google Chrome, do not install a browser extension AntiGravity Tab by any means. Even though it promises to bring “a unique look for your new tab and homepage” and, on top of that, “enhance your browsing and search experience,” it is not as perfect as it might seem to be at first glance. In fact, we cannot even call it a fully trustworthy application because it has been classified as a potentially unwanted program by specialists working at 411-spyware.com.
