CrazyCrypt Ransomware
CrazyCrypt Ransomware is a malicious application that shows a red warning message asking to write to crazycrypt@bk.ru. Sadly, before displaying the notification, the malware should also lock various files located on the infected device. Consequently, the marked data becomes unreadable and useless without decryption tools. Of course, the hackers promise they will be restored once the user pays the ransom, but in reality, the cybercriminals might not hold on to their word. This is why we would advise thinking twice before deciding what to do. ...

Also, some users may not like the idea the extension could track them and gather information about their browsing habits.

Pro Search TIp
We have an important tip for you: You should delete Pro Search Tip. This Google Chrome extension is presented as this amazing tool; however, it cannot live up to your expectations, and that is because it is completely useless. Yes, it can show search results, but even those cannot be trusted. Hopefully, you have not installed the strange Pro Search Tip extension onto your web browser yet, but if you have done this already, we recommend removing it without any hesitation.

Severe Weather Check
If you need to keep track of the weather forecast at all times, Severe Weather Check might be an extension you decide to install onto your Chrome or Firefox web browser. It certainly can be useful to see the temperature the moment you launch your browser, but that is, pretty much, where the benefits of the extension end. Yes, it can show you an accurate weather report because it records your IP address, and it knows your geographical location. The easy-access links to pollen.com, flunearyou.org, accuweather.com, and theweathernetwork.com websites work too, and you might find this service to be useful, but that is not how useful programs and extensions work. ...
Snatch Ransomware
If you are tricked into letting Snatch Ransomware in, you will find a bunch of your personal files corrupted. This infection does not remove them per se, but they are as good as gone after the attack. The threat changes the data of the affected file using an encryptor, and, after that, it can no longer be read. Unfortunately, decrypting files is not easy, and legitimate decryption software can help only in those cases when the used encryptor is not complicated. That is not the case with this particular infection. Once your personal photos, videos, documents, and other kinds of files are encrypted, you are stuck between a rock and a hard place. ...
Byoml.com
Byoml.com appears to be a potentially unwanted program, so if you come across this extension, we would advise you to consider it carefully before adding it. We do not say the application is harmful, but it could have unwanted qualities. To be more precise, our specialists think the add-on could show third-party advertisements. If this is true, the tool could display not only daily tips and motivational quotes, but also annoying pop-ups, banners, and other kinds of ads. Naturally, for those who cannot stand irritating ads and do not want to risk encountering them, we would advise removing Byoml.com. ...
QuickLogin
If you have numerous email accounts, you might be struggling to keep track of all of them, and this is where QuickLogin jumps in. This generally useless extension offers to make it possible to access all email accounts from one spot. On paper, the PUP (potentially unwanted program) sounds quite promising, but if you take a moment to think about the features offered, you should realize soon enough that it does not deserve your attention at all. If you have not downloaded this extension yet, forget about it now. If it is installed, we have a few important pieces of advice, and we also want to show you how to delete QuickLogin. ...
VegaLocker Ransomware
You go about your day and, suddenly, you learn that VegaLocker Ransomware has encrypted all – or, at least, most – of your personal files. Although the threat does not add a unique extension to the files it corrupts, like most other file-encryptors, the files become unreadable, and a ransom note created by the infection’s developers can be found along with these files. Unfortunately, once the data of your personal files is changed, you cannot restore it. Although third-party decryption tools exist, they are unlikely to help you in this case because the encryptor is highly complex. ...
Scarab-dy8wud Ransomware
Scarab-dy8wud Ransomware is a threat from the Scarab Ransomware family. What it does is encrypt user’s files and show him a message asking to pay in Bitcoins. In return, the ransom note’s authors promise to deliver decryption tools. The problem is you cannot get your money back once you transfer it and there are no guarantees the malicious applications developers will do as they promise. To be more precise, there is a possibility you could get scammed, and for users who do not want to risk it, we recommend not to pay any attention to the ransom note. ...
