Web-start-page.com
Web-start-page.com might look like an ordinary search tool powered by Bing, which is known to be a good search engine, at first glance; however, many people immediately understand that this tool for finding information on the web cannot be trusted because it hijacks all the browsers so that it could set itself in the place of a default search engine and homepage. The settings of ALL your browsers installed on the system will be modified, so you will notice these changes applied the next time you open your browser with an intention of visiting some kind of website or finding the necessary information. ...
MyCalendarPlanner Toolbar
If time planning is an important part of your day, you might be intrigued by the services offered by MyCalendarPlanner Toolbar. This application/extension is available from the Chrome web store or the official download page, mycalendarplanner.com, but it is also possible that you will face it by executing software bundles. Needless to say, you have to be cautious about software bundles because there are some that were created to spread malware without the user’s notice. Hopefully, that is not the predicament you find yourself in because dealing with a bunch of suspicious programs is much more complicated than dealing with just one. ...
Click Me Ransomware
Click Me Ransomware is a malicious application whose purpose is to encrypt files stored on your PC’s hard drive. The good news is that it is still in development and encrypts only one test file. However, this may soon change, and it will be distributed as a full-fledged ransomware. Needless to say, you have to remove as soon as possible, but the bad news is that once it has entered your PC, you will be unable to stop it from encrypting your files. Therefore an anti-malware application is a must to stop malicious software from even entering your PC. In this article, we will present you with the most relevant information currently available about this soon-to-be-released ransomware. ...
Searchme.com
You might think that Searchme.com is an average search engine, but the truth is that it is a browser hijacker whose purpose is to hijack your browser’s settings and replace its homepage address and possibly even the new tab page address. Its purpose is to impose itself on your browser to make you use it to search the web. Therefore, we recommend that you remove it from your browser as soon as the opportunity arises because the purpose of replacing your browser’s homepage is to make you view and compel you to click promotional ads featured in its search results. To generate more income, this hijacker is also set to gather anonymous information about you that is used to customize and tailor the links for each unique user. ...
Play-bar-search.com
Play-bar-search.com is yet another browser hijacker from the Imali Media family, and it accompanies such well-known hijackers as Cheetasearch.com and Searchinvietnam.com. In most cases, Imali hijackers are spread via browser extensions that can be promoted using software bundles and pop-up offers. We classify these extensions as unreliable because they were created only to showcase hijackers. They do not have any other purpose! Our researchers warn that the extension along with the hijacker it represents could be installed without your permission if you execute a malicious software bundle carrying a bunch of unreliable programs together. ...
iSpy Keylogger
iSpy Keylogger is probably one of the worst nightmares out there right now. This keylogger infection can steal your personal data by logging your keystrokes. Unlike ransomware, adware or rogue antispyware, this program will not be explicit about its presence. Therefore, you may not know that your computer has been compromised until it is already too late to do anything about it. ...
Ncrypt Ransomware
Ncrypt Ransomware is an infection that was designed to bring its victims to the knees and make them follow the demands that are introduced to them. Just like the majority of ransomware infections – such as Princess Locker Ransomware, Aviso Ransomware, or Exotic Ransomware – this infection demands to pay a ransom, and, unfortunately, many users comply with this demand because they are afraid of losing their personal files. Will you lose your files if you do not pay the ransom? Will you get your files back if you pay it? What happens when you delete Ncrypt Ransomware? ...
Princess Locker Ransomware
Noticing Princess Locker Ransomware on your computer could be the worst experience for you today. If this ransomware infection finds a way to your operating system, you can be sure that your personal files, including your media files, will be encrypted. In this case, your only chance to restore your files is to get hold of the decryption key. Obviously, this key is kept hidden on a remote server and you can only get it if you pay the demanded rather high ransom fee. At least, this is what these cyber criminals behind this dangerous threat want to make you believe. Unfortunately, there is little chance for you to get this key even if you transfer the money. ...
Dnshost.me
Constant redirections to or through the Dnshost.me site can only mean that your computer has been compromised, and now you have unwanted applications and programs on-board. For the most part, such redirections to adware servers may be more annoying than dangerous, but you will do yourself a favor if you scan your PC with a legitimate antispyware tool and remove all the programs that could be associated with Dnshost.me. The problem is that in the long run, these redirections could cause a severe security issue that might result in an ultimate system crash. And you most certainly would not want to go through that. ...
Dnav.com
Dnav.com is a search engine that should show “the best search results from across the web.” Even though it looks like a traditional search engine, specialists do not think that they can call this search tool reliable just because it promises to show good search results. There are, actually, three reasons why researchers at 411-spyware.com do not recommend using Dnav.com as a default search engine. First, it is very likely that this search tool is a browser hijacker because it has changed the settings of all the browsers it has found installed on the computer without permission. Secondly, it is known that it might display third-party ads promoting websites, products, and services. ...
