Damn Good Recipe Promos
Damn Good Recipe Promos is an extension that is meant to combine recipes and advertisements. How does that work? Well, the extension should provide you with recipes and also show ads along with them.

Lezp Ransomware
Lezp Ransomware encrypts documents, images, and all other types of files that users create themselves. The infection corrupts personal files, because that increases the attackers’ chances of convincing victims to pay money to get them back. If system or installed software files were encrypted, the entire system could crash, but it could be reinstalled, and the same is with installed software.

Rolling Search
Rolling Search might sound like a useful program because it claims to offer “the best way to search” the web. Needless to say, this is a major claim, and that should automatically make you stop and think. Can a simple extension really offer that much? It might, but when it comes to this particular extension, we do not believe that it is good for anything. Yes, you can find whatever it is that you are looking for using it, but you can also find unreliable or search-unrelated links. That is because this search tool was created to advertise third-party content. ...

All of these actions could help cybercriminals exploit your virtual security and drop malware. If this is what has happened, your personal files must be encrypted. ...
