The ransomware is unlikely to attack individual Windows users, and, instead, it is most likely to be targeted at bigger organizations and companies.

Search.youreasyemailsh.com
Search.youreasyemailsh.com is another browser hijacker from Polarity Technologies Ltd that our researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com came across. For example, before we learned about this threat we encountered Search.hyourweatherinfonow.com, Search.searchw3m.com, Search.searchlttrn.com, and quite a lot of other clones alike. Clearly, they do not offer any enhanced or unique features, even though their descriptions could say otherwise. In reality, such search engines mostly use a modified google.com or search.yahoo.com versions to gather the results. However, before the results get to be displayed these browser hijackers might inject them with untrustworthy advertising material. Therefore, our researchers recommend not to waste any time with Search.youreasyemailsh.com or other suspicious tools alike. To get rid of it faster, you could follow the deletion instructions located a bit below. Read more »

Search Tuner
If you think that you can stream music using Search Tuner, you are wrong. Although the official installer on http://www.searchtuner.com/ suggests that the tool can help you stream music for free, the truth is that the extension is more of a browser hijacker or an advertising tool than anything else. Our research team at Anti-Spyware-101.com identifies this extension as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) for several reasons. First of all, it does not function in a beneficial manner. Although it is meant to provide you with an “extensive music library,” it does not do that. Maybe a different version of this program works in that manner, but the one our research team analyzed did not work as a music streamer. Another reason to delete Search Tuner from your Google Chrome browser is to get rid of the undesirable search provider. When you install the PUP, it sets http://search.searchtuner.com/ as the default search provider, and the results shown via it cannot be trusted. Keep reading to learn more. Read more »
Newtab.win
Newtab.win is a search tool that might come as a redirect. That is, you might see this page because you are redirected straight to it when you open your web browser. If you already see it open for you, it is very likely that some kind of untrustworthy browser extension has been installed on your browser. Check the list of extensions and remove all suspicious ones to get rid of Newtab.win. Do this as soon as possible because the search tool you see is definitely not the most trustworthy search provider. Theoretically, you might even be exposed to potential threats if you use it. We know that it does not look dangerous at all, but we can assure you that it is not one of those search tools that can be trusted. Actually, you should not trust any search provider that appears on your browser out of the blue because legitimate search tools do not occupy users’ browsers without their knowledge. Users only see them because they set these search providers consciously on their browsers as new homepages/default search engines. As you can see, Newtab.win is not one of them. Therefore, it should be eliminated right away so that it could not cause any problems. As mentioned at the beginning of this paragraph, the chances are high that its appearance is directly linked to the installation of the untrustworthy browser extension. If it turns out to be true in your case too, i.e. you come across a suspicious extension, remove it mercilessly because it is the only way to make sure that you will no longer see Newtab.win.
