View Free Recipes Now

Do you want to have access to thousands of recipes directly via your browser? If you do, you might think that View Free Recipes Now is the extension of your dreams. Well, we doubt that it is. If you end up installing it onto your web browser (Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Firefox), you get easy-access links to totalrecipesnetwork.com, foodnetwork.co.uk, yummly.com, and epicurious.com. While these websites are legitimate, trustworthy, and can offer you plenty of recipes, you do not need an add-on to access them. Go to the website and click the star icon in or next to the URL field to bookmark it. Make sure that the Bookmarks toolbar/bar is activated, and that way, you will have access to all of these sites from your browser. If you do that, the extension becomes absolutely useless, and that is not the only reason to delete it. In fact, the Anti-Spyware-101.com research team recommends removing View Free Recipes Now due to security issues that appear to be associated with this PUP (potentially unwanted program). If you are ready to eliminate it, a guide can be found below. If you need more info, continue reading. Read more »

NCOV Ransomware

You have to act fast if you have discovered NCOV Ransomware on your Windows operating system. You might be unable to salvage your personal files – which the threat encrypts – but your operating system will not be safe until this malware is fully removed. Just like Dewar Ransomware, Devos Ransomware, Dever Ransomware, and hundreds of clones alike, this threat was created by an unknown attacker (or group of attackers) who used a pre-built malware code. The first infections that were created using it were Crysis Ransomware and Dharma Ransomware, which is why these are the names that the NCOV variant might be recognized by malware scanners and security tools. Regardless of the name, if this is the threat that slithered in, you need to get rid of it as soon as possible. Do you know how to delete NCOV Ransomware? Do you know if you can salvage your files?

STOP Ransomware (.peet variation)

STOP Ransomware (.peet variation), or Peet Ransomware, is a dangerous infection. Although it does not steal private information, drop other malicious files, or hijack your personal accounts, it corrupts your personal files. Documents, pictures, archives, and media files are encrypted, and the data within is changed, which renders the files unreadable. This is the first task that the infection needs to complete. Afterward, it has to convince you to pay money in return for a decryptor. The attack of this malware is very simple in its structure, but, unfortunately, it can be very successful and lucrative. If victims of the infection cannot recover their files for free, they might decide to fulfill the attackers’ demands, and Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers think that that would be a mistake. If you are not sure about what it is that you should do with the infection, its removal, and the recovery of your files, continue reading. If you are trying to delete STOP Ransomware (.peet variation) already, scroll down to find instructions. Read more »

Btos Ransomware

If you let Btos Ransomware in, it will wreck your personal files. While some infections are able to steal, wipe, or remove files, this infection encrypts them. That means that the data within the files is changed so that the files themselves become unreadable. To put it simply, the infection hijacks your files, and it does not need to release them. The attackers behind the infection claim that files can be restored with the help of a decryptor that victims can purchase from them; however, that does not mean that the attackers would keep their promise to present the tool once the money landed in their pockets. According to the Anti-Spyware-101.com research team, victims of this malware are unlikely to find relief by paying the ransom, which is why we DO NOT recommend paying it. The good news is that victims might not need to take the risk of paying the ransom at all. To learn about this, as well as how to delete Btos Ransomware, you should continue reading the report.
