Tidenous.com
If you have been randomly routed to Tidenous.com, you should immediately exit the webpage and perhaps even close the browser. Why were you redirected to this website? Was it because you clicked a strange pop-up or advertisement that warned you about junk files on your Windows operating system? Random pop-ups and ads you see online cannot know what kinds of junk files exist on your computer, and so that should automatically make you weary. Perhaps you were redirected to the website via a different website? ...
C4H Ransomware
No one wants to be infected with ransomware, but sometimes programs like C4H Ransomware manage to enter our systems. Then, we have to focus hard on removing them, and looking for ways to restore our files. Although there is no public decryption tool available at the moment, you might still be able to restore the files encrypted by C4H Ransomware. Be sure to address a professional technician who could help you with the problem at hand. You should also learn more about ransomware in general, so you could avoid similar intruders in the future. ...
Volgmer
Volgmer falls under the classification of Trojans. Such malicious applications enter systems without any permission. They can also hide on infected devices without being noticed and perform tasks like gathering, creating, or deleting data. If you want to know what this Trojan is capable of, we invite you to read our full report in which we also talk about its possible distribution channels as well as its removal. We would like to stress that we cannot guarantee that the instructions located below the article will help erase Volgmer. ...
Qewe Ransomware
Qewe Ransomware is a malicious application that encrypts files and places the .qewe extension at the end of their titles. Once files become encrypted, they can no longer be opened. Even if you delete the malware’s added extension, your system should still be unable to read the encrypted files. The malware’s creators may have decryption tools that could restore all the affected files, but, unfortunately, they offer them only to users who are willing to pay ransom. We recommend against it because hackers might not bother to send the decryption tools and if it happens, you might lose not only your files but also your money. ...
AppGo LiveSearch
You have to be careful about the tools you use to browse the web because not all of them can be trusted. AppGo LiveSearch, according to our research team, is one of those tools that you have to be cautious about because although it might appear to present normal results, it can present advertisements and links prepared by unknown third parties too. Furthermore, it has been found that this extension also can collect and leak personal information. Even though only selected parties have access to this information, we are not informed who they are, and so trusting the extension is difficult. ...
Plenty O' Apps
Plenty O' Apps is meant to give you access to different apps, a weather report, and also a custom search engine. At first sight, this extension might sound pretty great, but when you think about it, it does not offer anything that exclusive. In fact, when you install it, its only function is to change your New Tab page to hp.hplentyoapps.com, and you can easily set that as your homepage or New Tab page if you want to. Of course, we do not recommend that, and we discuss the reasons for that further in this report. ...
Zorgo Ransomware
Zorgo Ransomware encrypts files and adds an extension called .zorgo at the end of all affected files. Also, victims of the threat should receive a ransom note saying that they must transfer money to the hackers’ PayPal account if they want to decrypt their data. Of course, we recommend against it because you cannot know for sure if hackers will hold on to their end of the bargain. If they do not, you could lose not just your photos or other files that got encrypted but also your money. To learn more about this malicious application before you decide what to do, we invite you to read our full report. ...
Esmo.pro
If you have enabled Esmo.pro notifications, the first thing you need to do right now is remove them from your browser. Most likely, you need to do that on Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, and if you have no idea how to do it, we have a guide that will help you disable the unwanted extensions manually. First, of course, we suggest that you read this entire post because you need to understand why enabling and interacting with notifications from unknown or unreliable websites is extremely dangerous. ...
Mzlq Ransomware
You must not take your Windows security for granted because threats like Mzlq Ransomware are patiently waiting for their opportunities to slither in and make a huge mess. While this particular infection does not affect how your system works, it does not drop additional threats, and it is unlikely to steal private data, it can corrupt personal files, and this might hurt more, on a personal level, than data theft or malware invasion. When the devious ransomware corrupts your files, it changes their data by encrypting it, which means that you cannot read them. ...
Get Recipes Now
Sometimes we lose our imagination in the kitchen, and that is when tools such as Get Recipes Now seem to offer salvation. Using this tool, you are supposed to gain access to the most popular recipes online. At least, that is how the extension is promoted on chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/get-recipes-now/okaekkigjfddjhfbcinbeoapmfcfboni. If you did not install the PUP (potentially unwanted program) from the Chrome Web Store, perhaps a different incentive was used. ...
