Plenty O' Apps
Plenty O' Apps is meant to give you access to different apps, a weather report, and also a custom search engine. At first sight, this extension might sound pretty great, but when you think about it, it does not offer anything that exclusive. In fact, when you install it, its only function is to change your New Tab page to hp.hplentyoapps.com, and you can easily set that as your homepage or New Tab page if you want to. Of course, we do not recommend that, and we discuss the reasons for that further in this report. ...
Zorgo Ransomware
Zorgo Ransomware encrypts files and adds an extension called .zorgo at the end of all affected files. Also, victims of the threat should receive a ransom note saying that they must transfer money to the hackers’ PayPal account if they want to decrypt their data. Of course, we recommend against it because you cannot know for sure if hackers will hold on to their end of the bargain. If they do not, you could lose not just your photos or other files that got encrypted but also your money. To learn more about this malicious application before you decide what to do, we invite you to read our full report. ...

First, of course, we suggest that you read this entire post because you need to understand why enabling and interacting with notifications from unknown or unreliable websites is extremely dangerous. ...
Mzlq Ransomware
You must not take your Windows security for granted because threats like Mzlq Ransomware are patiently waiting for their opportunities to slither in and make a huge mess. While this particular infection does not affect how your system works, it does not drop additional threats, and it is unlikely to steal private data, it can corrupt personal files, and this might hurt more, on a personal level, than data theft or malware invasion. When the devious ransomware corrupts your files, it changes their data by encrypting it, which means that you cannot read them. ...
Get Recipes Now
Sometimes we lose our imagination in the kitchen, and that is when tools such as Get Recipes Now seem to offer salvation. Using this tool, you are supposed to gain access to the most popular recipes online. At least, that is how the extension is promoted on chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/get-recipes-now/okaekkigjfddjhfbcinbeoapmfcfboni. If you did not install the PUP (potentially unwanted program) from the Chrome Web Store, perhaps a different incentive was used. ...
Cranchit
Cranchit developers may claim that it is a “single purpose extension” that provides easy access to “search, images, videos and news.” Truth be told, you can access such information easily by typing an URL address of your favorite search engine, for example, google.com or search.yahoo.com, into your browser’s address bar. In other words, you do not have to install anything besides a browser to easily access a search engine or find content like pictures and videos on the Internet. ...
Tiger PDF
If you use Google Chrome, you might come across an extension called Tiger PDF. This extension is meant to make it possible for users to convert PDF, JPG, PJPG, PNG, WEBP, TXT, SVG, HTML, DOC, & DOCX files for free, which is a great luxury. The extension is meant to make it possible for you to convert files via your browser’s search bar, which is quite unusual. According to the instructions, you are supposed to click the extension’s icon on your browser, click the ‘File Conversions’ button, upload a file, choose the desired file format, and then simply download the converted file. ...

Sqpc Ransomware
You must have let Sqpc Ransomware into your Windows operating system by accident. Who would invite malware into their lives on purpose, right? Unfortunately, the attackers behind this malware are very sly, and they know how to trick more gullible and less cautious users into letting malware in. For example, they can create a misleading email message and attach the launcher as a document or photo attachment. The message could instruct to open the attachment to view flight/package/purchase/other important details. ...
Zemblax Ransomware
Zemblax Ransomware is an annoying computer infection that tries to push users into spending their money on a file decryption tool. You should never pay for anything these crooks have to offer. Remove Zemblax Ransomware right now, and then restore your files with the public decryption tool. We are lucky that there is a public decryption tool that works on this infection. However, there are other ransomware programs out there that might as well lock up your files for good, so you need to learn more about them, and how it would be possible to avoid such infections in the future. ...
