Noblis Ransomware

Noblis Ransomware has nothing to do with being "noble"; in fact, this new dangerous threat can encrypt your files in a short time and render them useless. Of course, this ransomware is all about money, in particular, your money. You are given one day to pay the demanded ransom fee; or else, your files will remain inaccessible to you. However, our malware specialists at anti-spyware-101.com say that this ransomware seems to be still in development. Therefore, this version may not spread as widely as if it were finished. Still, it is important for us to inform you about our findings regarding this first version since it can destroy your files without the possibility of actually decrypting them. It is definitely no use paying the ransom fee because the address used in this version does not even work so it would be a total waste; not that it would be much help even if it worked. You should know that cyber criminals rarely deliver the decryption key or tool even after victims pay. We recommend that you remove Noblis Ransomware right away. Read more »

nJoySport Search

It seems that no day can go by a new potential threat like nJoySport Search emerging on the net. Our malware experts at anti-spyware-101.com have found that this potentially unwanted program (PUP) comes from a growing family of PUPs, including MusicNet Start, NetGaming Search, and FilmsApp Home. These PUPs have been promoted in groups of four or five but this latest one is claimed to be available with nine other PUPs on the same website.

This new extension offers you sports related searches and trending content. However, we believe that this tool could expose you to questionable third-party content, which may put your system security at risk if engaged with. Therefore, we suggest that you remove nJoySport Search from your browser because you could easily infect your computer with more serious malware threats or become the next victim of online scams.
