Edhappearer.info

Edhappearer.info is an adware server and, according to our researchers, a malicious website. You are unlikely to face it directly, but you could face advertisements delivered via it. Also, you could be asked to show notifications from this website. Both ads and notifications cannot be trusted because the adware server is likely to permit unreliable advertisers to promote their services and products. They also could use attractive services and products just to hide links that route to malicious websites. These websites could present ransomware and malware. Needless to say, we do not want you facing this adware server or the ads that are delivered via it. Unfortunately, you might face it and you might even interact with it without realizing what is going on. If you continue reading, you will learn how to remove Edhappearer.info ads, and more importantly, you will learn how to keep yourself away from adware servers like that. Read more »

Delivesinve.info

Delivesinve.info

Delivesinve.info is an adware server, and it means that this entity is NOT on your system. It’s just something that you encounter when you browse the web.

LiveStreamNewsToday Promos

LiveStreamNewsToday Promos

Although it would seem that LiveStreamNewsToday Promos is a tool that delivers both live news and promotional offers, according to Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers, this potentially unwanted program (PUP) is all about advertising. Of course, if you visit livestreamnewstoday.com, this source offers news. However, if you download the extension, you are introduced to advertisements from third parties. So, did you download this extension on purpose or by accident? In either case, it is meant to introduce you to third-party ads, and that is the main reason we recommend deleting LiveStreamNewsToday Promos. Why is that so? While online ads are not inherently dangerous or malicious, you have to be very selective about whose ads you interact with because some of them can be extremely misleading. We are not making any claims in regard to the potentially unwanted program discussed in this report, but if you are not enjoying anything else offered by the extension, there is no reason to keep it installed. We suggest removing it. Read more »

Taargo Ransomware

Taargo Ransomware

Taargo Ransomware is a new version of the infamous GlobeImposter Ransomware. In the past, we have reviewed quite a few other versions of this malware, including Ox4444 Ransomware, QP Ransomware, and Pig4444 Ransomware. All of these threats have unique elements, but in general, they are pretty much identical, and they cause the same kind of harm once they invade an operating system. Windows systems are the ones targeted by this malware, and according to our Anti-Spyware-101.com research team, the attackers are using the same attack methods over and over again. In most cases, we see spam emails and bundled downloaders used for the distribution of .exe files that are responsible for the execution of ransomware. Avoiding spam emails and bundled downloads is easy enough, but Windows users keep on taking risks. If you need to delete Taargo Ransomware from your operating system, there is a good chance that you have take some unnecessary risks as well. Read more »

SearchZilla

SearchZilla

SearchZilla might be presented as a beneficial tool but it is just a potentially unwanted program. What does that mean? That means that this extension does not actually work in the most beneficial manner. According to our researchers at Anti-Spyware-101.com, it cannot even be trusted with the most basic function, which is a web search. Although the PUP (potentially unwanted program) is introduced as a beneficial search tool, all it can do is show modified search results. Do not have the illusion that these results are somehow better. They are modified to show sponsored links and advertisements, for which the PUP’s developer is likely to earn money. Without a doubt, our recommendation is that you delete SearchZilla from your Google Chrome web browser, but if you have doubts about the removal, continue reading. We explain how the extension works and what kinds of issues you might face if you install and use it. Read more »

R44s Ransomware

When it encrypts files, it drops nine different versions of the same ransom note file, all of which represent messages in nine different languages, including Spanish, Dutch, Italian, German, French, Russian, Farsi, Chinese, and English. The names of these files are “LEAME_PARA_DESCIFRAR_ARCHIVOS.txt,” “LEESMIJ-BESTAND_VOOR_HET_DECODEREN_VAN_BESTANDEN.txt,” “LEGGIMI_PER_DECIFRARE_I_FILES.txt,” “LESEN_SIE_MICH_UM_DATEIEN_ZU_ENTSCHLUSSELN.txt,” “LISEZ-MOI_POUR_DECHIFFRER_LES_FICHIERS.txt,” “PROCHTI_MENYA_DLYA_RASSHIFROVKI_FAYLOV.txt,” “شروع_رمزگ_شایی.txt,” “重新解密文件.txt,” and “README_TO_DECRYPT_FILES.html.” Although these files are not malicious per se, you want to delete them all.

Login to My Email

Login to My Email

Login to My Email is introduced at logintomyemail.net, but you might have downloaded this extension from a different source. Did you acquire it from the Chrome web store?
