Limited PCAP

PDFConverterSearchHQ
You must know already that not all programs and extensions are made equal. PDFConverterSearchHQ is the kind of extension that poses as a beneficial tool, but veers more toward an extension that is a complete opposite of that. Our research team does not agree that it is beneficial. In fact, we have already classified it as a PUP – potentially unwanted program. Even before this decision was made, we knew that, most likely, it would act as a PUP, and that is because we have analyzed multiple extensions that are identical to it. Some of them include ConvertItSearch, AnyStationSearch, and SteamSearchs. ...
MyDocsHere
MyDocsHere is a browser extension that can change Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox homepages and new tab pages. Since such behavior could be irritating, the toolbar was classified as a potentially unwanted program.

For example, the extension may ask to let it show you notifications. Such content could be annoying because it might appear on your screen, and it could contain third-party ads. If you do not think that you want to have such a tool, you could erase MyDocsHere by completing the steps located at the end of this report. ...

DogeCrypt Ransomware
Windows users need to watch out for DogeCrypt Ransomware because if this malicious threat manages to slither into a system, it should have no trouble encrypting all important files. No, it does not corrupt system files to ensure that it runs orderly. However, it can encrypt all personal files. During the process of encryption, the original data of files is scrambled to make it unreadable. Only a decryptor can turn things back around, but getting your hands on this tool is unlikely to be possible. Of course, the creator of the infection wants you to think something else. ...
