Spinyon
Spinyon is one of those browser extensions that promise optimized search results powered by the Yahoo search engine. What it means is that the application’s tool might use a modified version of search.yahoo.com to gather and display search results. The difference is that the modified version might show third-party ads or content alike that would not appear on the search results obtained directly from search.yahoo.com. Since the application may view your browsing history, it is possible that it could display targeted ads as well, although we cannot know this for sure. ...
Shield My Searches
Shield My Searches is an extension that is supposed to shield you when you browse the web. This tool is supposed to do that by enabling “private search”, offering “adult content” controls, and also disabling “Tracking & Profiling.” The tool claims that normal search engines track users and their searchers and that it can enable safety filters that, supposedly, can help you browse the web without facing security and privacy issues. If only that were the case. The reality is that if you install the extension, it can track you, and it might even expose you to push notifications and advertisements. ...
Koti Ransomware
Koti Ransomware is a vicious threat that targets users’ pictures, documents, and other valuable files. To be more precise, the malicious application encrypts them with a strong encryption algorithm, which makes affected files unreadable. If your computer cannot read your files, it also cannot open them. The only way to restore encrypted data is to use decryption tools on it. Unfortunately, hackers might be the only ones who have tools that could restore all your files. As usual, the ransomware creators ask to pay ransom to receive them. The reason we recommend against doing it is because it is risky. ...
SearchConverter
Have you installed SearchConverter thinking that it would somehow change the way you browse the web? The claims that this extension makes can be confusing. If you downloaded it from the Chrome Web Store (chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/searchconverter/aakboccpfalegnccglnkffcbpfigjfdj) – and you might have been redirected to it via install.search-converter.com – you were informed that it can change your default search, present optimized search results that are powered by Yahoo, and make it easy for you to access “search, images, videos and news” results. ...
Quick Radio Search
Do you listen to radio via your web browser? If you do, you might think that Quick Radio Search is the tool for you. In reality, it is not as beneficial as it might appear to be at first, and while it might offer links to radio-related websites via its interface, you can add these links to your browser by bookmarking them. That might take some time, but you can personalize what links are shown, and you can avoid all security-related risks that this extension might bring with it. Since you have found this removal guide, we assume that you already have your reasons to get rid of this potentially unwanted program (PUP). ...
Classinviredy.club
If you do not want to be bombarded with suspicious advertisements, you should not interact with the notifications introduced by Classinviredy.club. This website has nothing to offer you, and it serves advertisers alone. Online advertising is not a crime, hut you have to be mindful about whose ads you trust, and there is no doubt that unreliable parties use unreliable platforms, which this website is known as. Just like Web-news3.club, Zpredir1.com, Esmo.pro, and hundreds of other known advertising websites, it is most likely to be exploited by schemers and unreliable parties, which is why you want to run in the opposite direction when you face it. ...
SearchAholic
If you do not want to face advertisements every time you browse the web, we suggest deleting SearchAholic from your Google Chrome web browser. You might have decided to install this extension because it promises to show “optimized search results,” but the description on the Chrome Web Store – which is where the official installer is – does not explain how these results are optimized. According to our researchers, the PUP injects advertisements and sponsored links into the normal search results on Yahoo Search. First, it redirects to search.yahoo.com via feed.search-aholic.com. ...
Web-news3.club
Do you know why enabling notifications by Web-news3.club is a dangerous move? That is because this advertising website is unlikely to show any notifications that are trustworthy and reliable. Instead, it is most likely to show you notifications that represent misleading ads or that hide links to malicious websites. If you think that this is the only advertising website you need to watch out for, we have bad news. It is identical to Zpredir1.com, Esmo.pro, Fiaharam.net, Delivesinve.info, Edhappearer.info, and all other advertising websites that our researchers have analyzed in the last few months. ...
Mpal Ransomware
Mpal Ransomware is a recently created file-encrypting threat that is based on the so-called Stop Ransomware. It encrypts files that are not related with the infected device’s operating system or other software and shows a ransom note just like other threats from the Stop Ransomware family. If you want to know what happens if this malicious application appears on a system in more detail, we invite you to read our full report. At the end of it, we offer deletion instructions that show how users could erase Mpal Ransomware manually. ...
Dictionary Pro
If you work with words (literally), you might consider adding something like Dictionary Pro to your browser. It is a Chrome extension that provides direct access to dictionaries, thesaurus websites, writing resources, and so on. However, if this application is added to your browser out of the blue, you should definitely run a full system scan with a reliable antispyware tool. The chances are you have many unwanted programs on-board, and you definitely need to remove them all. For Dictionary Pro, you can use the manual removal instructions at the bottom of this description. ...
