Videostripe Pop-up Ads
Videostripe Pop-up Ads can annoy you while surfing the web after your system has been infected with an adware program. We must emphasize that however aggressive marketing tactics the Videostripe website uses, it is a legitimate service. This platform claims to provide you with ad-free premium movies as “high-quality content directly streamed to you.” But even if this service itself seems to work just fine, it can be promoted by ad-supported programs that may also display unreliable third-party advertisements unrelated to this website. You can subscribe for this service officially but you need to be careful with it because the subscription form can be a bit tricky and not reading it carefully could cost you around 40 EUR a month. We consider the service provided by this website rather expensive. As a matter of fact, we recommend that you remove Videostripe Pop-up Ads before you fall for this trick. In order to be able to eliminate these annoying advertisements, you need to identify the adware program that may be responsible for them. Read more »

Blocking Ransomware
Blocking Ransomware is a new malicious application seeking to extract money from computer users. Although it has been detected by specialists at anti-spyware-101.com only recently and is considered a new threat, it is, technically, not completely new because it is a variant of BTCWare Ransomware. That is, it is based on its engine. Because of this, specialists have quickly found out how it acts on compromised machines. They say that Blocking Ransomware is another threat trying to obtain money from people. Cyber criminals who develop such malicious applications know well that users are not going to give them their money easily, so they create threats that encrypt files upon arrival to give them the reason to pay money. Unfortunately, ransomware infections encrypt files using strong encryption algorithms, so it is not always possible to unlock files without the special key. Of course, we do not try to say here that you should go to purchase a decryptor from cyber criminals. Instead, we recommend, first and foremost, getting rid of the ransomware infection so that it could not lock more files. The removal of the ransomware infection will be explained in the final paragraph, but we want you to understand how it acts first. Read more »
Hells Ransomware
At the time of research, Hells Ransomware was demanding a ransom of 350 USD to be paid in Bitcoins.

According to the note, that was the only way to get files back. Unfortunately, this malicious ransomware could encrypt files, and, using that, it could push victims into paying the ransom. Though the infection did not work when our research team tested it, there is a possibility that it will be upgraded in the near future. Since the status of the infection is undetermined, Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers advise looking at your files if any ransom payment demands are made. In the best case scenario, you discover that your files are not corrupted, and then you can delete Hells Ransomware without further delay.
