Switch2Search
Switch2Search is a new Google Chrome new tab page plugin that offers you easy search relating to your favorite social networking sites and a switch between popular search engines as well; however, we have found this tool questionable after careful research. Since this application also changes your home page setting, you will be exposed to its potentially unreliable content every time you launch your Google Chrome browser. But you cannot be all relaxed if you use other browsers because this search engine can show up in your Chrome after you install a whole package of malware threats. ...
Home.getpokedex.com
It was expectable that the Pokemon craze would reach schemers and get them inspired to create malware infections, such as Home.getpokedex.com. This questionable browser extension seems to work with Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome only. We have found that it is indeed a newcomer in the infamous SuperWeb family of browser hijackers. This infection can change your home page, new tab page, and default search engine settings in the affected browsers. However, if you do not want to be introduced to potentially unreliable third-party web content, we suggest that you remove Home.getpokedex.com from your browsers immediately. ...
Cerber2 Ransomware
Cerber2 Ransomware is the new version of the infamous Cerber Ransomware that was reported quite a while ago. Although this version is new, it is not any different from the original infection, and it works in the exact same manner. Unfortunately, this updated version is still malicious, and it still targets your personal files. If you do not manage to protect yourself from the invasion of this ransomware, it will slither in without your notice, and it will silently encrypt all of the most sensitive files. According to our research, this infection evades certain folders and files that have certain strings in their names, including “windows,” “boot,” “programdata,” and “users.” ...
Hitler Ransomware
Hitler Ransomware, also known as Hitler Ransonware, is a dangerous infection that puts your personal files at risk. This devious threat targets your personal files in the Pictures, Documents, Downloads, Desktop, and Music folders found in the %UserProfile% directory. Instead of encrypting them as you might be made to believe, this threat removes the extensions of your files to make them inaccessible. Because you cannot open your personal files, you might think that they are indeed encrypted by this malicious ransomware. Luckily, this is not the case, and you can easily add the extensions back to your files evading their loss. ...
Funtabstvsearch.com
It appears to be that Funtabstvsearch.com is a clone of Search.myspeedtestxp.com, Search.mygamesxp.com, Search.MyTelevisionXp.com, and other browser hijackers. Of course, the application itself falls under the same category. As its previous clones, it might be spread with bundled installers. Once the program settles in, it could hijack the browser by making modifications to particular files on the system. Our specialists say that Funtabstvsearch.com should be compatible with Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Mozilla Firefox. If the application changed your preferences, we advise you to get rid of it as soon as possible. ...
Search.yourmediatabsearch.com
Search.yourmediatabsearch.com is the clone of such well-known browser hijackers as the suspicious Search.funsocialtabsearch.com, Search.funtvtabplussearch.com, and Search.youronlinegamecenter.com. Although all these hijackers appear to have been created by different parties (Stepitapp, Imali Media, or SaferBrowser), it takes one glance to realize that they are almost identical. The quick-access links that these hijackers represent from their interfaces are different, but that is pretty much the only distinction. For one thing, none of them are actual search providers, as you might assume judging by their interfaces. ...
Wizesearch.com
Wizesearch.com might be related with another browser hijacker that is known as Snap.Do. Our researchers say that these applications could be created by the same developers. Also, it was noticed that they might be distributed together. However, this hijacker works only on the Google Chrome browser. It might change your homepage and new tab page preferences. As a result, instead of your favorite web page, the browser would load Wizesearch.com. Our specialists noticed that the application could redirect search results through their server and add third-party content to it. ...
Cryakl Ransomware
If your computer gets hit by Cryakl Ransomware, you should be ready to lose most of your files because it may become a nightmarish reality for you. This Russian ransomware can encrypt almost all of your files within a few minutes once it finds its way to your operating system. Since this infection uses a serious algorithm, there is virtually no way for you to decrypt your files as of yet unless you have the private key. Unfortunately for you, this key is kept hidden on a remote server and only accessible by these crooks who have attacked you. The only possibility you seem to have is to pay the ransom to get the key. ...
SOSO DESK
It is quite strange that Windows users install SOSO DESK willingly, considering that this program does not actually offer beneficial services. This program does not provide much information about itself, and the only listed features include device management and device or web search. Only when you install this program, you find that it finds files on your PC, but you can easily use the Search utility on your Windows operating system to find these files, and you do not need an additional tool for that. It is strange that users are lured in with such a useless service, but it appears that this service is hiding something bigger, which is a browser hijacker. ...
Search.funsocialtabsearch.com
Search.funsocialtabsearch.com looks like a regular search engine, but it does not work. This is because it is just a regular redirector that has taken on the skin of a search engine. When you enter keywords into the provided search box, you will be routed to a third-party engine (most likely to Yahoo Search). The mistake that most users make is that they trust the search engines they are routed to, but you have to be careful about this. As our research has revealed, the hijacker might inject sponsored links into the search results displayed to you, and you might interact with them thinking that they must be reliable because they are represented via authentic search engines. ...
