GTF Ransomware

GTF Ransomware

GTF Ransomware is named like that because this infection adds “.id-*.[grandtheftfiles@aol.com].GTF” as an additional extension to all of the files it encrypts. The extension also includes a unique code (in the place of *) and an email address, which you are introduced to via a ransom note as well. Unfortunately, you are most likely to find this monstrous extension attached to your most valued personal files, including photos, videos, and documents. The infection is supposed to encrypt all personal files throughout your operating system, and if you have a lot of files, you might face extensive damage. Of course, if you care about your personal files, you might already have backup copies stored someplace safe outside the infected computer. If that is the case, you can replace the corrupted files, but only after you remove GTF Ransomware from your operating system.

Sarut Ransomware

Sarut Ransomware

You might be unable to pinpoint the moment that the devious Sarut Ransomware slithered into your operating system, but if that is what has happened, you must have discovered that your personal files were encrypted. That means that the data was ciphered, and now you cannot read the files. Unfortunately, cybercriminals have found a way to encrypt your own documents, photos, and other kinds of personal files, and they are doing that to extort money. The goal is to make you pay a ransom in return for a decryptor that, allegedly, could restore all files. Isn’t that convenient? The attackers encrypt files and then offer a decryption tool in return for some money. Unfortunately, offers and promises made by cybercriminals cannot be trusted. If you succumb to their demands, you will waste $490 (or $980), and your files will remain encrypted. What if you delete Sarut Ransomware? Will your files be restored then? Unfortunately, that is not how file-encryptors work. That being said, the removal of this infection is crucial. Read more »

Find Your Packages Promos

Find Your Packages Promos

If you need to track packages, you should be able to do that via the sellers’ or carriers’ websites. Find Your Packages Promos, however, suggests that it can help you track all parcels from various carriers using one single tracker. Doesn’t this sound amazing? Well, you cannot judge a book by its cover, and Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers suggest that trusting the initial offer of any program is the wrong move. The good news is that the extension actually informs that it can show advertisements after installation, and so those who install it must know what they are getting themselves into. However, if you did not realize that you would be flooded with ads after installing the extension, you might feel dissatisfied. In any case, there are reasons to delete Find Your Packages Promos from Google Chrome, which at the time of research, was the only browser that the extension was compatible with. If you want to understand why removing this PUP (potentially unwanted program) might be the best move, continue reading. Read more »
