ANATOVA Ransomware
Your personal files must be protected against ANATOVA Ransomware and hundreds of other similar infections because if they get encrypted, recovering them will not be possible. According to our research team, the files corrupted by this ransomware cannot be restored because the encryption algorithm is complicated, and the decryptor has not been made public. It is unlikely that it will become public too. After execution, this malware can encrypt documents, photos, and other files of various formats to ensure that they cannot be opened and read. ...
XCry Ransomware
It’s not a good day if you suddenly see the XCry Ransomware notification on your screen. Getting infected with ransomware is always a nerve-racking experience, but if this program is already on your computer, there’s one thing you can do: remove XCry Ransomware for good.
If you have your files backed up, you can delete the corrupted data without any remorse and then transfer the healthy copies into your hard drive once you have the malicious infection removed.

DataWait Ransomware
You should not wait when you discover DataWait Ransomware because this is a serious threat that requires immediate removal. Unfortunately, this infection encrypts files before it even reveals itself, and then is demands money in return for the files, which is what is likely to make most stop and think. Although the attacker behind the infection gives you an option to pay money to get a decryptor, this is not really an option you should be taking seriously. Why? Because cyber criminals are ready to promise you anything just to get your money. ...
Blackware Ransomware
Blackware Ransomware claims to be a file-encrypting threat, but our specialists say the version we got to test worked more like a screen locker. In other words, the threat's note may claim your files have been encrypted, but in reality, they should be unaffected. Victims of the threat should see it for themselves after unlocking the screen. We discovered it could be unlocked by entering a password our researchers obtained from the malicious application’s code. The passcode will be mentioned further in the article along with other essential details about the malware. ...
Baysearch.co
“All the things you need, only better,” is the promotional tagline of Bay Search, a browser extension intended for the Chrome browser. It sounds like this extension can improve your web browsing experience, but why are we documenting it here as a browser hijacker? That is because of a number of modifications this extension inflicts on your browser upon installation. If you do not feel comfortable about these modifications, you should remove Baysearch.co from your system immediately. You can terminate this extension manually, although it is always a good idea to invest in a security tool that would do it for you automatically. ...
FileFuck Trojan
Although the main reason cyber criminals indulge in their practice is money, sometimes they do it for sport, too. Take FileFuck Trojan, for example. This Trojan infection is based on the Hidden Tear ransomware code, so it should work like your regular ransomware infection, demanding money, and what not. However, it does nothing of the kind. It only corrupts user files, and then expects the user to deal with it on their own. Luckily, it is not that hard to remove FileFuck Trojan from the infected computer, although removal does not do much to restore the corrupted files. ...
Venom Ransomware
In the movie merging with the alien Venom gave the main character superhuman strength; unfortunately, Venom Ransomware, created by the movie’s hacker fans, does not benefit the infected computer at all. What it does is encrypt all pictures, documents, and other private user’s files to make them unusable. It is possible to decrypt them, but to do so, one would need a unique decryption key. Based on the message on the malware’s ransom note, the hackers will provide it only if the victim pays a ransom. If you are considering such an option, you should know it could be risky, as you cannot know for sure if the malicious application’s developers will deliver the needed key as promised. ...
Trojan.Minjen
If you suspect that an infection is slowing down your computer, Trojan.Minjen could be the culprit. This Trojan/crypto miner is a threat that could damage your operating system and jeopardize your virtual security at the same time, which is why it is important that you get rid of it as soon as possible. The thing is that this threat is hard to spot, and if it disables the Task Manager – which is one of the things it could do – it might be very hard to find it. If you are reading this report, the chances are that you have already identified this threat; most likely, with the help of a legitimate malware scanner. ...
Pro Speed Check
If you downloaded Pro Speed Check from the Chrome web store so that you could check your Internet speed whenever you desire it, you have lucked out. You can test speeds at test.prospeedcheck.com, powered by meter.net – which means that the service is not even original – and the extension itself is pretty useless. Needless to say, that is why it is classified as a potentially unwanted program. The suspicious extension is compatible with Google Chrome only, and the users of this browser can find it at chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pro-speed-check/nognlmgiboflbpbfhhpaapgkhegnnekk (Chrome web store). ...
parambingobam@cock.li Ransomware
parambingobam@cock.li Ransomware is one of those vicious file-encrypting threats all users hope not to receive. Sadly, ransomware applications can enter the computer without the user’s knowledge, as many of them get in by deceiving the user. This particular infection is probably not an exception as it might be spread through Spam emails, fake installers, malicious software bundles, and so on. Its main task is to encrypt the victim’s data to make it unusable. Afterward, the threat should present a ransom note, through which the malware’s developers demand to receive a ransom. ...
