DailyFunnyWorld Toolbar

DailyFunnyWorld Toolbar

Some threats are malicious in an obvious way. Others do damage silently. Although we do not classify DailyFunnyWorld Toolbar as a severely dangerous infection, it is very suspicious, and it is known that it can do certain undesirable things silently. Since you are reading this article, you might already have decided to remove this suspicious extension, and if that is the case, scroll down to the last section. If you are not sure why this seemingly harmless program has a bad reputation, you want to keep reading. Our Anti-Spyware-101.com malware analysts have reviewed this suspicious application, and it is now identified as a PUP, which is short for “potentially unwanted program.” Why is it unwanted? We discuss this in detail in this report, but the bottom line is that the extension does not offer exclusive services, that it tracks information about users, and that it presents a search tool we cannot recommend trusting. These are the top reasons to delete DailyFunnyWorld Toolbar. Read more »

Blitzkrieg Ransomware

Blitzkrieg Ransomware

Blitzkrieg Ransomware is an infection that encrypts files and then adds either “.bkc” or “.non” extension to their original names to mark them. When you see either of these extensions, you no longer need to try to open the file to see whether or not it is corrupted. Unfortunately, our Anti-Spyware-101.com research team warns that checking the files and assessing the situation might be impossible. That is because the malicious threat practically goes after all files. Needless to say, if system files are encrypted, you might be unable to run your operating system normally. If that has happened, you might need to reinstall Windows. Otherwise, you could leave the infected machine in the hands of a professional. In any case, even if your computer is running normally, if files were encrypted, it is unlikely that you will be able to set them free. That will not happen even when you remove Blitzkrieg Ransomware. Obviously, deleting this threat is important, and we discuss that too. Read more »

Delphi Ransomware

Delphi Ransomware

Do you know what happens to the files corrupted by Delphi Ransomware? They are encrypted, which means that they can be read only using a special decoder. Although you might be happy to learn that your files are not lost completely, we have bad news: Cyber criminals are the only ones who can give you the tool to restore personal files. So, what is the problem? The problem is that these cyber criminals are unlikely to help you out. They might promise you to decrypt files as soon as you contact them and then pay the ransom, but if you think that the words of attackers can be trusted, you are wrong. While we cannot guarantee that you would not get anything in return for the ransom – after all, cyber criminals are people, and so they are unpredictable – it would be surprising to learn about files being decrypted successfully. If you cannot do anything about your files, you still can delete Delphi Ransomware, and we recommend initiating the removal of this malware ASAP. Read more »

GetCrypt Ransomware

GetCrypt Ransomware

Were your personal files encrypted by GetCrypt Ransomware? If they were, your background wallpaper must have been replaced, and you must have been introduced to a file named “# DECRYPT MY FILES #.txt.” These are the two things that should help you identify the threat in no time. Depending on the version of this malware that you face, the messages delivered via the wallpaper and the text file should push you to email un42@protonmail.com or getcrypt@cock.li, and you should not do that. You will learn why that is risky if you continue reading. If you do that, you will also learn how to delete GetCrypt Ransomware, and doing that is very important. Even though your personal files will not be restored when you do that, you do not want anything malicious on your computer, because that creates security risks. Note that you will not get your files decrypted even if you pay the ransom requested by the attackers. So, what are you supposed to do? First, remove the infection, next, find a free decryptor.

RegProtech

RegProtech is a potentially unwanted program or a PUP in short. Such applications may have undesirable or irritating qualities that might make a user wish to get rid of it even if he installed it himself. In this case, the tool could seem annoying because it might ask users to pay to remove results identified during a free scan. Besides, the software may not even work anymore as it could not launch during our tests. We suspect it might have to do with the fact that the server RegProtech used to connect to, is currently unreachable. If your version no longer launches or you simply do not want to keep a PUP on your computer, we invite you to check the deletion instructions available at the end of this article. The comments section below the instructions is where you can place your questions about the application or its removal. Read more »
