It is also meant to include recipe ratings, summaries, and reviews, and provide you with access to “thousands of recipes for various meals.” On paper, so to speak, this extension can sound pretty great, but if you install it, you should be quick to realize that it is nothing more than a glorified search tool.

If you are not sure what the fuss is about, you ought to read this report. By the end, you will know why the removal of this potentially unwanted program (PUP) is recommended.

OFFWHITE Ransomware

OFFWHITE Ransomware

OFFWHITE Ransomware is a malicious application that encrypts files and adds the .OFFWHITE extension at the end of their names, for example, receipt.pdf.OFFWHITE. After encrypting files, the malware should create a ransom note. The text on it suggests that the threat is used to attack various organizations. To force companies to put up with cybercriminals’ demands, the note says that hackers will leak sensitive information that it claims was transferred to their server before the encryption process began. They could say such things just to scare victims, although we cannot know for sure. Truth to be told, there are no reassurances that hackers will deliver the promised decryption tools either and it is possible that they will ask to pay for them first. To learn more about the malware and its ransom note, we invite you to read the rest of this article. If you want to erase OFFWHITE Ransomware manually, you could use the instructions available below the text. Read more »

Mongo Search

Mongo Search is one of those applications that don’t look dangerous at all, but they shouldn’t be allowed to remain on your system. Of course, if you added this extension to your browser willingly, that’s an entirely different story, but these programs tend to come uninvited, and if that is in your case, you shouldn’t tolerate this program.

Scroll down to the bottom of this description for the manual removal instructions and don’t forget to run a full system scan afterwards. You have to check whether you have more unwanted apps on-board because such applications tend to come in packs. Read more »

BOMBO Ransomware

BOMBO Ransomware

You must be aware that ransomware is spreading across the world. BOMBO Ransomware is just one of the many file-encrypting infections that can slither into your operating system if you open the door. Of course, you are tricked into doing that by opening spam email attachments/links or downloading files from unreliable websites. In some cases, however, action from you is not needed at all. The attackers can use other threats and existing vulnerabilities to distribute malware without your notice. Once the ransomware is in, it can encrypt photos, music files, and documents, videos, and everything else that you might keep close to your heart. Well, unless you have copies of your personal files stored somewhere safe, you are in trouble. Once files are encrypted, the data is scrambled, and that makes files unreadable. The attackers hope that this would be enough to make you pay a ransom. Instead, you should focus on deleting BOMBO Ransomware. Your files cannot be recovered by performing successful removal, but your security can be restored. Read more »

Ezy Photo Tab

Ezy Photo Tab

You might assume that Ezy Photo Tab is all about providing you with photo editing services and tools, but did you know that a big part of this potentially unwanted program (PUP) is its search service. Sadly, it is an unreliable one, and if you interact with it, there is a chance that you could end up on unreliable websites that might not even be related to your original search queries. Even if you are able to avoid the search tool, the extension itself is not useful because it does not actually offer photo editing services. At most, it provides links to third-party websites that you might be able to use for all of your photo-editing needs. Most likely, you already have decided to delete Ezy Photo Tab from your Google Chrome web browser. However, if you do not feel ready to jump into the removal yet, we suggest that you continue reading the report. Our Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers have analyzed the PUP thoroughly, and we can provide you with interesting information. Read more »

These infections are really annoying and dangerous, and users often panic when they get such threats on their systems.

PDF To Pro

PDF To Pro

PDF To Pro is meant to provide you with access to popular converter tools, and that already lets you know that it is not useful. If you end up installing this extension, your New Tab page on Google Chrome is replaced, and the interface of the introduced webpage presents easy-access links to websites, where users can, allegedly, convert files. The websites that the PUP (potentially unwanted program) promoted at the time of research were cloudconvert.com, allfilesconverter.com, and freepdfconvert.com. It goes without saying that you do not need to install anything to access these websites. On the contrary, it is easier to access them without any extensions installed. All you have to do is visit the website, click Ctrl+D keys to bookmark it, and then you can access it directly from your browser’s homepage. This is not the only reason we recommend deleting PDF To Pro. In fact, it is not even the main reason. We suggest removing the PUP because we think that using it could be dangerous. Read more »

Zeronine Ransomware

Zeronine Ransomware

Are your personal files safe? You might think that they are until Zeronine Ransomware slithers in, changes their data, and makes it impossible for you to read them. Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers warn that this threat is just as dangerous as Covm Ransomware, CovidWorldCry Ransomware, Koti Ransomware, and hundreds of other infections alike. All of them were built to encrypt files and then make ransom demands, and in some cases, victims feel helpless. This leads them to contacting their attackers and sometimes even following their instructions. Hopefully, you understand that that is not a good idea, and you understand that deleting Zeronine Ransomware has to become your priority. If you have no way of recovering or replacing your files, you might consider taking risks, but let us warn you that cybercriminals cannot be trusted, and their promises are likely to be bogus. In any case, whether you restore your files or not, you must delete the malicious file-encryptor from your Windows operating system. Read more »
