Stg-234i23r9-sph.com
More and more suspicious search tools emerge every day, and Stg-234i23r9-sph.com is the newest example. Although it has the interface of a regular search provider and it is able to show search results corresponding to the queries – despite these results being shown via a third-party engine – it is wrong to call it a beneficial search tool. Instead, we identify it as a browser hijacker because it is most likely to modify your browser’s settings based on misleading promises. Were you promised exclusive and useful services when being introduced to this hijacker? If you were, do you think that the suspicious hijacker has lived up to your expectations? ...
Happygamesearch.com
Happygamesearch.com is not what you think it is. Even though it has an appearance of an ordinary search tool, the truth is that it is a browser hijacker that has been created to boost the traffic of third-party web pages and, consequently, generate revenue for the developer. Happygamesearch.com falls into the category of browser hijackers because it changes the homepage, New Tab page, and default search engine on all the browsers it finds installed on the computer without asking for permission to do that. Even though this web page looks like an ordinary search provider, we do not recommend using it to search for the information. ...

Asn1 Ransomware
Being infected with Asn1 Ransomware may mean one terrible thing: The loss of all your important files. Of course, if you are a security-minded computer user who regularly saves a backup onto a removable drive, you could be saved from this nightmare. Unfortunately, as soon as this ransomware program sets foot on your system, it encrypts most of you files, i.e., it takes them hostage in a very short time. You are offered a way out of this awful situation if you pay the demanded ransom fee; however, it is highly unlikely that you will get any decryption key or software to help you restore your files. ...
Search.searchwos.com
Our researchers could only test how Search.searchwos.com works on Google Chrome, but based on other similar threats, it should be compatible with Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox as well.

Minehp.com
The first thing you need to ask yourself when you face Minehp.com is where does this search tool come from? This search tool is likely to take over the homepage – as well as new tab and default search provider – but it could do that it two different ways. You might realize that this search tool has hijacked your browsers without your permission and acknowledgment. Or you might admit installing it yourself. It is exceptionally important to figure out how this hijacker has been introduced to you because that might determine your attitude towards it. ...
Winn Extension
Do not get fooled by clever marketing techniques employed by the developers' of Winn Extension. This program is mostly advertised as a handy tool if you want to stream TV shows and sporting events for free. Unfortunately, it does not work in such a way; instead of improving your online experience this application will ruin it. This is quite natural as our research team has classified this program as one more adware application that you should avoid at all times. Running this ad-supported program on your PC might even prove quite dangerous as it could expose your personal computer to devious web content. ...
Yardood.com
Yardood.com is a new search engine whose operations and intentions are quite questionable. In fact, it seems that this malware infection mainly serves one goal: To generate income for its creators through third-party advertising. This is possible via ads and sponsored links that you could be exposed to if you happen to use this search engine for web searches. In other words, it may be risky to click on any content offered by this threat because you may end up directly infecting your system with additional malware programs or multiple threats may also infiltrate your system. ...
Sage Ransomware
Sage Ransomware was named according to the extension it appends to its damaged files. Luckily, it cannot harm all data on the system as it chooses particular locations. Accordingly, the amount of affected valuable files may vary for each user. The malware’s creators encourage you not to “wait for a miracle” and pay the ransom while it is not doubled, but if the enciphered files are not so valuable or you have other ways to recover it, we would recommend not to waste any money and ret rid of the threat as fast as possible. ...
SurveyLocker Ransomware
SurveyLocker Ransomware is a screenlocker-type ransomware which means that it locks the victim’s computer and prevents using it altogether. Removing this software is not only possible but highly recommended as well. Our research has shown that this ransomware is distributed via email spam and can enter your computer by stealth. It is designed to lock your computer’s screen and make you fill out a survey to unlock it. It appears that instead of demanding that you pay a ransom, this ransomware makes money by forcing you to fill out the surveys. To find out more about it, we invite you to read this whole article. ...
