Search.searchfacoupons.com
Browser hijackers like Search.searchfacoupons.com hit the web almost every day trying to appear as useful search engine pages; sometimes even copying the looks of well-known and reputable search providers. This malware infection comes from a large family that contains very similar and, at times, identical browser hijackers, including Search.memethat.co, Search.ma-cmf.com, and Search.searchrs.com. This search page offers you easy access to coupon-related websites apart from the usual local weather widget page and the search boxes. We do not advise you to use or keep this search engine in your browsers at all. ...
Mans-find.org
If Mans-find.org is opened for you when you launch your browser or another website keeps redirecting you to this website, it means that a browser hijacker is inside the system. Mans-find.org does not seem to be a harmful website. Instead, it seems to be quite beneficial because users can read the latest news with the click of a button and this website enables them to search for the information from its main page. Evidently, a browser hijacker promoting Mans-find.org targets Russian-speaking users because it is the only language used on the entire page. ...
Aes256 Ransomware

BadEncript Ransomware
If you are not cautious enough and your computer is not protected by a proper, up-to-date anti-malware program, it is possible that BadEncript Ransomware can sneak onto your system without your knowledge. Well, at least, you will not know about its presence until it actually reveals itself, which is the sadest moment as you realize that your precious files have been encrypted. The only way for you to be able to decrypt your files seems to be if you give in and pay the demanded ransom fee. Although it may seem all logical and plain that you transfer the money and you will get a decryption key in exchange, we would like to remind you that this is tantamount to supporting cyber criminals, which would simply result in further cyber attacks. ...
EdgeLocker Ransomware
EdgeLocker Ransomware is a computer infection that definitely does not enter your system with good intentions. It only slithers onto computers seeking to encrypt documents, pictures, and other valuable files. Research has shown that this malicious application is even going to encrypt .exe files. Luckily, it touches only those files that do not have a signature (e.g. Microsoft Corporation), so the Windows OS running on your computer should not be ruined. Ransomware infections act the way they do to help cyber criminals obtain money from people. Everybody knows that users are not going to send money to them willingly, so this ransomware infection gives people the reason to make a payment by encrypting files. ...
KillDisk Ransomware
All ransomware infections are dangerous, destructive, and annoying, but few of them are as aggressive as the recently discovered KillDisk Ransomware. This malicious infection is similar to HDD Encrypt Ransomware, Mischa Ransomware, and Petya Ransomware in a sense that it might affect the entire PC, not just the files found on it. According to our malware researchers, there are at least two different versions of this malicious infection. One of the versions performs like any other regular ransomware by encrypting files and introducing its victims to a ransom note that demands a ridiculous amount of money for the alleged decryption services. ...
Kipuu.cn
We have good news for you. If Kipuu.cn has corrupted your web browser (it could take over Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or Google Chrome), you will find out about it right away. That is pretty much where the good news ends. This suspicious browser hijacker is slowly spreading across the web, and it is particularly active in India, Indonesia, Egypt, Brazil, and Saudi Arabia. An official download source for this hijacker does not exist, but it spreads regardless of that. While it is possible that the installer of this infection will be combined with other installers distributed using one bundle, our researchers warn that a malicious Trojan could be responsible for infiltrating the hijacker. ...
AdamLocker Ransomware
If your Windows operating system is not protected reliably, the malicious AdamLocker Ransomware might attack it without you even realizing. Although some threats are very obvious, most of them are clandestine, and they are distributed using tactics that allow unnoticed entrance. In the case of the ransomware, we have found that its executable is concealed as some kind of a file attached to a misleading spam email. For example, this executable could be introduced to you as a PDF sent by a known airline company. This deception helps the malicious ransomware to slither in unnoticed, and that allows it to perform in a malicious manner without any disturbance. ...
