Windows activation Error code:0x56102 (888) 571-0961
The presence of a window with the Windows activation Error code:0x56102 (888) 571-0961 warning indicates the existence of malicious software rather than Windows OS activation issue. In most cases, according to specialists at 411-spyware.com, this window locks the screen because there is malware installed on the computer; however, users might also see it on some kind of bad website they are taken to against their will. Either way, users have to be aware of the fact that this Windows activation Error code:0x56102 (888) 571-0961 window is fake.

Crypton Ransomware
Crypton Ransomware could do major damage to you by encrypting your most important files after sneaking onto your computer without your knowledge. The only case when the presence of this dangerous threat may not actually become a nightmare is if you have a backup copy of your files regularly saved onto a removable hard disk of some sort.

If you decide to pay the ransom fee, you could be scammed and lose hundreds of dollars in one quick go. ...
Karma Ransomware
Even though Karma Ransomware is quite a new ransomware infection, it is very likely that it is no longer active because its Command and Control (C&C) servers are down. Of course, it could have already infected a number of users during this short period of time. Users quickly find out that they have allowed a ransomware infection to enter their computers because they could no longer access any of their files. There is no doubt that you have already found a ransom note left by this infection too.

MyMemory
Do you have a lot of events on your agenda? If you do, you might be looking for a tool that alerts you whenever an event is coming up.

Iadah.co.uk
If your homepage and/or default search provider has been replaced with Iadah.co.uk, the first thing you need to ask yourself is if you have installed the Iadah Toolbar. This strange application is officially promoted at iadah.co.uk/toolbar.html, and the search tool comes packaged with it. Although every user has the opportunity to reject the search engine and homepage modifications, not all of them realize that. When installing the toolbar, you have to click “Custom Installation” to have the opportunity to un-check the boxes that confirm the changes. Was the search tool installed onto your browsers separately from the toolbar? ...
Angela Merkel Ransomware
Cyber criminals have started using famous politicians’ names to create malicious software. One of their newest products is Angela Merkel Ransomware, which shares similarities with Exotic Ransomware since it is created on its engine. Even though Angela Merkel Ransomware has just appeared on the web, it does not differ much from those older threats because it also performs the detection and encryption of personal files users keep on their computers. It has been found that it starts encrypting %USERPROFILE%\Desktop first, then goes to lock files in %USERPROFILE% and its subfolders, and, finally, it returns to check the directory %USERPROFILE%\Desktop one more time. ...
