Josephnull Ransomware
You must not take the demands introduced by Josephnull Ransomware seriously because the attackers behind this infection are after your money, and they are willing to tell you anything to get it. Just like most other file-encrypting threats, it promises victims a decryptor in return for money, but this promise cannot be trusted. If you give cybercriminals your money, they will take it, and you will not be able to get it back. Unfortunately, whether or not you get a decryptor in return is the business of attackers, and if you assume that they would do the right thing, you are sadly mistaken. ...
Havilizedkj.club
Havilizedkj.club is one of those adware servers that are like a one-day butterfly: they appear out of nowhere, and then they get taken down once someone reports them. Our research shows that the site is currently down, but if you’ve ever come across this domain, you should know how to avoid similar servers in the future. Please note that Havilizedkj.club and other similar domains would not be present in your computer, but you can still tweak your browser’s settings to make sure that you do not see the content such adware servers promote. ...
RadioSearches
Google Chrome users can install RadioSearches for free, but that does not mean that they should. Our research team has inspected this extension, and the conclusion is that it is a potentially unwanted program, or PUP. You do not need to be an expert to figure that out. First of all, the extension is not represented in the most transparent manner. At the time of our analysis, an official download website did not exist. Instead, the PUP was promoted via the Chrome Web Store (chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/radiosearches/bjhheeocfnaidhhkngiifmajjjajdcle), but the description attached to the installer was very vague. ...
Ozsummarun.info
Due to the fact that there’s been an increase in adware servers that promote potentially harmful third-party content, we would like to illustrate the potential threat with the example of Ozsummarun.info. This is an adware server that displays commercial notifications on the target browser. At the moment, the server is no longer active, but there are definitely several others out there that have taken its place in terrorizing unsuspecting users. All these adware servers can be dealt with in the same manner, so please scroll down to the bottom of this description for the manual removal instructions. ...
AllMoviesSearch
AllMoviesSearch might sound like an extension that is all about movies, but it is not. It is a simple potentially unwanted program – known as PUP, for short – that was created to gather data and promote third-party sponsored content. The search tool that this extension presents can be used to find anything, not just movie-related content, but that does not mean that using it is safe. In fact, our research team strongly recommends keeping away from it. Some users of the PUP might decide to keep using it just so that they could access a calculator, a PDF converter, and currency and cryptocurrency converters via the New Tab page. ...
Burst Search
Burst Search is a potentially unwanted program. It is compatible with the Chrome browser, and it can accidentally expose you to a number of dangerous websites. It doesn’t mean that Burst Search is a malicious infection. In fact, users install this extension willingly, but they just don’t notice that this happens. Luckily, it is not that complicated to remove Burst Search from your browser. While you’re at it, you should scan your computer with a reliable antispyware tool. Potentially unwanted programs tend to travel in groups, so you might have many other unwanted apps on-board. ...
Search-Plus
Our research team says that Search-Plus is a browser hijacker. Thus, it means that this program modifies your browser’s settings without your permission. Some users might even think that Search-Plus is a useful search engine because it looks like one. However, if your browser’s settings get modified without your permission, you should not tolerate the program that does so. It is important to remove Search-Plus from your browser right now because the longer it stays there, the more trouble it might cause. To be 100% sure that you terminate all the unwanted applications, don’t hesitate to scan your computer with a reliable antispyware tool. ...
What is Click To Watch Live
What is Click To Watch Live is an adware server that displays commercial advertisements on your browser when you browse the web. Constant exposure to such ads is not only annoying, but it can also be harmful. There is no guarantee that the ads delivered via What is Click To Watch Live are safe. Hence, you have to do everything to avoid the content promoted by this adware server. While you cannot remove the server itself (it’s bound to die soon either way), you can restore your browser settings to default, and this way make all the annoying pop-ups disappear. ...
Try2Cry Ransomware
