legioner_seven@aol.com Ransomware
If you see that your personal files are encrypted and they have a lengthy extension next to the original one (e.g. .jpg or .doc) now, it means that you are dealing with legioner_seven@aol.com Ransomware, which is known to be a nasty computer infection. Researchers working at 411-spyware.com have quickly found out that legioner_seven@aol.com Ransomware is another threat based on the CrySIS Ransomware engine. As a consequence, it acts like Saraswati Ransomware, Age_empires@india.com Ransomware and Savepanda@india.com Ransomware, i.e. it enters computers without permission and then encrypts files it finds stored on the system. ...
Search.searchglnn.com
If you have discovered a program entitled Search.searchglnn.com active on your PC, you must take immediate measure to remove it as it is nothing more than yet another browser hijacker. Just like any other application of this category, the one in question is known to cause major changes to your overall online experience for the worst as it is fully capable of altering your web browser's default settings without any authorization. While all of this is extremely annoying, you should also know that in some instances this browser hijacker could act in a potentially malicious way, which could obviously have devastating outcomes, to put it mildly. ...
MartianArcade
MartianArcade is an ad-supported program promoted by an online gaming website, martianarcade.com. If you find this application on your system, it is most likely that you are annoyed by useless and potentially harmful third-party advertisements. By not removing this program, you actually risk your virtual security. You may think that these are just innocent ads you see while browsing the web, but we are here to talk about the potential risks you take by not acting against this adware infection. You need to know that by clicking on unreliable ads you may end up on malicious websites or you could also download more malware threats onto your computer. ...
Siddhiup2@india.com Ransomware
Siddhiup2@india.com Ransomware is a new threat, but it is not unique. This ransomware was created using the same source code as such infamous infection as Systemdown@india.com Ransomware, Age_empires@india.com Ransomware, or Ramachandra7@india.com Ransomware. All of these threats are created after CrySIS Ransomware, and they are all very dangerous. These infections attack silently, but they are very aggressive once they are done encrypting your files because they are after your money, and they force you to take action to get the files decrypted. ...
Diablo_diablo2@aol.com Ransomware
Diablo_diablo2@aol.com Ransomware is a new computer infection similar to Age_empires@india.com Ransomware and Ramachandra7@india.com Ransomware, which are quite prevalent these days too. Even though Diablo_diablo2@aol.com Ransomware is a newly released infection, it is not unique at all. It has been found that it even adds the same .xtbl extension to files it encrypts like a bunch of other ransomware infections. The one good thing that comes out of this is that it is very easy to recognize which files have been locked. ...
Last_centurion@aol.com Ransomware
If you want to remove Last_centurion@aol.com Ransomware, then you have come to the right cyber security website. In this short article we will show you not only how you can get rid of it, but how it is distributed and how it works. This malicious application is set to infect your computer secretly and encrypt most of the files stored on it. Then, its ransom note will give you instructions on what to do next which will involve paying a ransom for the decryption tool. The cyber criminals behind this program use this ransomware to make money — that is its only purpose. There is no telling how much money they want you to pay for the decryptor, but, at any rate, the sum in not by any means small. ...
Privacy Dr
You might think that Privacy Dr is a useful piece of software, but you would be wrong because this application is not all that useful. Sure, it will clean your web browser off browsing-related data, but that is not enough to secure your online privacy. Therefore, we are of the opinion that you should remove this application at your earliest convenience because it has been classified as a potentially unwanted program. We have to hand it to its developers — they have done an outstanding job when marketing this application, but that is where the praises end because Privacy Dr is utterly useless. ...
Globe Ransomware
Globe Ransomware is a new threat that can cost you most of your files if you do not have a backup copy saved on a removable drive. This infection infiltrates your system silently and you will not even know about its presence until the damage is done. We have found that this vicious ransomware targets hundreds of file extensions and encrypts them with a rarely used algorithm. This also means that there is no likelihood right now that you will find a free decryption tool on the web to help you recover your files. In other words, it is very likely that you will lose lots of files in this malicious attack unless you decide to pay the ransom fee. ...
Zepto Ransomware
If your computer becomes infected with Zepto Ransomware, then all of the files on it will be encrypted, and you will have to choose between removing this malicious program and paying the hefty ransom for the decryptor needed to decrypt them. The people behind this malicious program want you to pay 1.5 BTC (an approximate 909.66 USD) which is a lot of money, so you should evaluate your files and also take into account the possibility of not receiving the decryption tool. ...
Everyday Manuals Toolbar
Are you constantly looking for manuals or instructions? If you are, Everyday Manuals Toolbar might catch your eye. It would seem like the demand for such a program was not high, but, according to the user count on the Chrome web store page representing this toolbar, it has well over 12 thousand users! The question is how many of these users installed this app knowing it? Although it is highly unlikely that this toolbar is spread silently or illegally, it could be packaged with third-party software, and some users might install it by accident. ...
