Elmers Glue Locker Ransomware
Elmers Glue Locker Ransomware does not encrypt any data or damage the system in any way. Apparently, it was programmed to only lock the infected computer’s screen by placing a ransom note on it. The ransom note tries to convince the user that the only way to get rid of the malware is to pay a ridiculous amount of money probably no user would be ever willing to pay. Not that there is any reason even to consider making the payment since the screen can be unlocked in a second and deleting the threat does not require much effort. If you take a look at the instructions placed below the article, we will explain to you how to complete these tasks too, but before you slide below and delete Elmers Glue Locker Ransomware, we encourage you to read more about this rather unusual ransomware. ...
Oled Ransomware
Oled Ransomware is yet another infection that employs AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) to corrupt your files. This infection reconstructs your files in a way that they become unreadable. To restore them back to normal, a special key is needed, and, of course, the creator of the ransomware uses it to coerce victims into making huge payments. These are identified as ransoms because something that belongs to the victim (in our case, it is the personal files) is held hostage in the hopes of receiving a payment. Needless to say, this is why this infection is classified as a ransomware. ...
InternetSpeedRadar Toolbar
InternetSpeedRadar Toolbar may have several different classifications. Our security specialists say that it is a potentially unwanted program, but you may find it also in other categories like browser plugin or even browser hijacker. Such a wide range of potential categories is influenced by the fact that this program exhibits quite a lot of behavioral patterns. Whichever it might be, the bottom line is that it is highly recommended that you remove InternetSpeedRadar Toolbar from your system, as the program could be associated with a number of security issues. ...
News1free.org
News1free.org is considered to be a browser hijacker; such an application can be rather annoying as it may launch your browser without any permission, change specific settings, or load suspicious web pages you normally would not wish to visit. It looks like the tool is targeted at Russian-speaking users since the content it promotes is provided only in this language. The research shows it could present potentially dangerous advertising; therefore, leaving it on the system might cause trouble. We believe this search engine could be compatible with major browsers, such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Internet Explorer. ...
Deos Ransomware
At the time of research, Deos Ransomware was unlikely to spread in the wild because it was not complete. It did not even encrypt files, which, of course, is one of the main tasks it has. Despite this, the threat can paralyze the operating system and introduce the victim to information suggesting that a payment (ransom) must be paid. That means that even if this threat does not encrypt files, it could easily demand a ransom fee. Have you encountered this malicious infection? If you have, you need to inspect your operating system to see if files were encrypted. If you cannot access your files in a regular manner, you might have to reboot in Safe Mode. ...
Securesurfs.biz
A program that goes by the name of Securesurfs.biz is nothing more than yet another browser hijacker that you need to remove without any hesitation. Applications of this classification are infamous for their ability to change your web browser's default settings without any authorization. It goes without saying that due to such intrusive modifications surfing the web will become a much more annoying and frustrating task. In fact, surfing the web the way you like might be out of the question entirely. What is even more concerning is the fact that this browser hijacker could also prove to be potentially harmful. ...
Mobsearches.com
What do you have to do when suddenly your default homepage changes? First, you should not panic. There is always a reason this happens, and if your new start page is Mobsearches.com, it means you have a browser hijacker on-board. A browser hijacker is a type of program that will modify your browser settings with the intention to redirect you to associated websites. Everything is done for financial profit; although you can rest assured that this hijacker will not steal your credit card details. Needless to say, that is no reason to keep it on your computer. The sooner you remove Mobsearches.com, the better. ...
Smart Registry Care
Smart Registry Care is yet another useless program that claims to be “The best tool to safely and effectively clear invalid entries from your windows registry and get your PC Running smooth again.” Unfortunately, our research and tests show that this application is very similar to other potentially unwanted programs (PUP), such as BoostMyPC and Magic PC Cleaner. Such a program can easily mislead inexperienced users and make them believe that there are plenty of serious system issues to fix. This is how such a PUP tries to sell itself by pushing you to buy the full version. ...
Mancros Ransomware
If your screen was locked by the malicious Mancros Ransomware, do not rush to panic about your precious personal files. Although this ransomware pushes you to believe that your files were locked, that is a lie. Your files are not encrypted or removed, and you definitely do not need to pay a ransom of 50 USD to get them back. What you need to do is unlock your screen, and that is not that hard to do. In fact, it is fair to say that you are lucky to have faced this misleading infection because while it does not cause any damage, it reveals that your operating system is not protected reliably. ...
NoterSave
NoterSave is identified as a potentially unwanted program not because its services are bogus or harmful, but because it has been found to come bundled with adware. The official installer represented at notersave.com is blocked by most popular browsers, and that is the first indicator that this program is not reliable. Luckily, this installer does not even work right now, and so you cannot install the PUP even if you force it. Regardless, the suspicious application can be spread by third-party distributors who might earn money, as well as attract more users by attaching it along with other pieces of software. ...
