German Jigsaw .spaß
Has a new window with a timer, a ransom note, and frightening images been placed over your Desktop? If so, this is bad news. German Jigsaw .spaß, which is a harmful ransomware infection, has successfully slithered onto your computer and locked your screen together with your personal files. You will remove the window opened by simply killing the process representing the ransomware infection via Task Manager, but we, unfortunately, cannot promise that it will be a piece of cake to unlock encrypted files because they have been encrypted with a strong cipher. ...
Porn Adware Virus
Advertisements, pop-ups, and notifications displayed by Porn Adware Virus can be not only annoying but also misleading and dangerous to interact with. How can you recognize them? Unfortunately, it is difficult to say in what form you would encounter them. That is because, according to our research, “Porn Adware Virus” is an umbrella name for all adware programs and adware-related elements that are, in one way or another, linked to porn/adult websites. All in all, whether it is a potentially unwanted program that is connecting to a remote adware server and exposing you to ads, or malicious notifications that you have accepted while browsing the web, you need to take the issue seriously. ...
PointRoll
PointRoll is a browser cookie that might be used to track users and show them targeting advertising material. According to our specialists, the tracking cookie might be used on sizmek.com or other websites related to it. As the application’s developers claim, the tool does not gather any personal information that would help identify the user. Therefore, it is not considered to be malicious or threatening to the user’s privacy. Nonetheless, if you hate being tracked and do not want PointRoll to store any information related to your browsing habits you should not hesitate to eliminate it. ...
Scrabber Ransomware
Scrabber Ransomware is a rather unusual ransomware application. Instead of displaying a warning saying it encrypted user’s files and now he has to pay for their decryption, the malware shows a note claiming the needed tools will be provided free of charge. It seems unbelievable the hackers would go through such trouble of designing the threat and distributing it among potential victims just to have to restore all damaged files for free later on. If you doubt the Scrabber Ransomware creators’ good intentions as well, we would advise removing the malware instead of contacting its creators. ...
RunSpeedCheck
RunSpeedCheck seems to be quite a useful application at first glance. It promises to test the Internet connection, improve web browsing experience, and enable users to perform web searches more effectively. Additionally, it claims to be an easy-to-use tool. As a consequence, it is not a surprise that hundreds of users have already installed it on their computers. To be more specific, there are already 2,602 users who have already consciously installed it from the Chrome Web Store, but it is very likely that the total number of users using it is higher since RunSpeedCheck can be directly downloaded from its official website (https://install.runspeedcheck.com/?pid=11111) as well, and, on top of that, it seems that alternative distribution methods might be used to spread it too. ...
Obtenez Email
How many unique email accounts do you have? If you have more than just a few, Obtenez Email might seem like a serious time-saving app. It is meant to provide you with access to multiple email accounts via one page, which is Search.obtenezemail.com. If you install the application, this is the page that will be set up as your browser’s homepage or New Tab page. It does not look unreliable if you look at it, but our research team has had the chance to analyze it, and the conclusion is that interacting with it might be dangerous. How so? We discuss that at length in this report, and so you should definitely continue reading if you want to learn more. ...

5H311 1NJ3C706 Ransomware
5H311 1NJ3C706 Ransomware is a dangerous threat that was created to corrupt files and then push victims into paying a ransom in return of a decryption key.

FreeShoppingTool Toolbar
FreeShoppingTool Toolbar is a potentially unwanted program, which means the application could have undesirable qualities. Our specialists suspect the extension might show unreliable advertising content through its search tool that should appear after opening a new tab with the affected browser. Users should also know the application was developed by an untrustworthy company called Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. or Mindspark in short. It is known for creating potentially unwanted programs and browser hijackers, which is why our researchers consider it to be unreliable. ...
btc@fros.cc Ransomware
Were your files corrupted by btc@fros.cc Ransomware? If they were, you will find the “.id-[unique ID number].[btc@fros.cc].btc” extension attached to their names, and you will discover that you cannot open them. That is because when the infection encrypts them, the data is changed. To restore it, a special decryption key must be applied, and you do not have it. Legitimate file decryptors exist, but they cannot decrypt files without the decryption key either. In this situation, unfortunately, only the creator(s) can provide you with the key, and you cannot rely on them for anything. ...
