KRider Ransomware
It is entirely possible that KRider Ransomware is not yet fully developed. These kinds of malicious programs are created for money extortion, so we find it strange that the cyber criminals behind this threat do not ask for any payment. For now, it looks like the infection does nothing else besides enciphering user’s personal files. The malware might work silently, and since it does not show any warning message, its victims may only realize what happened after they notice it is impossible to open their files. Our researchers say KRider Ransomware might be recognized by the additional .kr3 extension it could add to the data it encrypts. ...
Movie Goat Default Search
Movie Goat Default Search is a devious application, and there is only one thing that must be done about it, and that is its complete removal. This is so because this application is yet another browser hijacker that can ruin your online experience in a number of ways. It is important to note that developers of this devious program are known to use manipulative marketing techniques to lure unsuspecting users into downloading and installing their product without understanding what it does. In some instances, this application could be advertised as a must-have tool to improve your overall online experience. ...
Newsonly.info
Newsonly.info is the URL of a dubious Russian news website. If you start seeing this website every day against your will, this might suggest that a malicious application has found a way to enter your computer unnoticed. Newsonly.info does not seem to be a malicious page at first glance. It makes it possible to search for the information on the web and access the latest news. Of course, the appearance does not always tell the real truth about the trustworthiness of a website. Specialists working at 411-spyware.com agree with that because they have quickly found that Newsonly.info is not so perfect. ...
Vortex Ransomware
If you are currently located in Poland, there is one specific threat that you need to be cautious about: Vortex Ransomware. This dangerous infection is yet another malicious ransomware that can encrypt your files and push you to pay a ransom fee. Unfortunately, the infiltration of this threat is stealthy, and it is unlikely that many users will recognize the infection before executing it. It seems that the launcher is most likely to be attached to a misleading spam email, and it might be concealed as a different kind of file. Obviously, if the sender is unfamiliar, or if the message does not make sense (e.g., if it asks to check the details of a flight you have never booked), you should recognize the scam right away. ...
Kolobo Ransomware
Kolobo Ransomware is a rather old malware infection that first appeared back in early 2014 and has been around ever since. This dangerous threat is indeed a variant of the infamous Gingerbread Ransomware. Once it manages to penetrate your system, it starts encrypting the targeted files. Your only chance to be able to recover your files is, of course, by getting hold of the decryption key, which is offered to you for a certain amount of ransom fee. The authors of this severe threat have some sense of humor and creativity, we must give them that. In fact, they have come up with a Gingerbread pie story for the victim to support this pie so that it can by its own apartment. ...
Jigsaw 4.6 Ransomware
Sometimes it happens that a relatively harmless ransomware like Jigsaw 4.6 Ransomware appears spreading on the web before it is finished. In other words, if you are hit by this malware infection, you should know that it is more like an unfinished program still under construction. Due to this fact, we cannot call this ransomware either vicious or dangerous because we have found that it does not even encrypt your precious files, even though it certainly claims so. Still, there are most likely a number of unsuspecting and inexperienced users who would fall for this attack and believe that they would lose their files unless they pay the ransom fee these crooks demand. ...
Nhtnwcuf Ransomware
Specialists can immediately tell what kind of computer infection Nhtnwcuf Ransomware is after looking at it once. They have no doubts that this computer infection should fall into the category of ransomware, but they also want to emphasize that this ransomware-type infection differs from other threats placed in the same category, e.g. Vortex Ransomware, Lock2017 Ransomware, and Wallet Ransomware in a sense that it does not encrypt any users’ files. Despite the fact that it does not lock any files, it has still been placed under this category because its main goal is to obtain money from users. ...
PubHotspot
PubHotspot might be the reason why you see lots of suspicious advertising content lately. Apparently, the application is classified as adware, and it may show users various advertisements from its third-party partners. Our researchers noticed that some of the displayed ads might advertise websites or content, which could be potentially malicious, so if you happen to interact with it, there is a chance you could accidentally put your system at risk. Provided you do not want to take such chances, we encourage you to eliminate PubHotspot before its presence causes you trouble. ...
Sardoninir Ransomware
What happens when Sardoninir Ransomware infects your operating system? If it slithers in, this infection encrypts your files, creates a RUN key in the registry, and launches a file that displays a message from its creator. The main purpose of this threat is to make its victims pay a ransom. At the time of research, it was possible to circumvent that by applying a “password” that was stored on the victim’s computer. Is this password stored on your PC as well? If it is, we can help you find it. Unfortunately, it is possible that your operating system was infected with a different version of this malicious threat, and the password cannot be retrieved or applied. ...
avastvirusinfo@yandex.com Ransomware
avastvirusinfo@yandex.com Ransomware is a harmful computer infection which does not even try to mask its presence. As specialists at 411-spyware.com have noticed, it starts working immediately after landing on the system. It goes to encrypt users’ personal data right after the successful entrance. Researchers say that it could not even act differently because it uses the engine of Xorist Ransomware (it used to be quite prevalent in the past). Users can be sure that they have encountered avastvirusinfo@yandex.com Ransomware and not any other ransomware infection if they see new filename extensions appended to their files, e.g. .x2Hzqz8YKTjyeKs6Oiz7CzQQ, .qbv2vzVF, .utyoq3wU, .data or others because, unlike similar file-encrypting threats, it appends random extensions. ...
