RadioSearches

RadioSearches

If you are here, you might have encountered a potentially unwanted program called RadioSearches. In which case, you might be wondering if the extension truly provides “The best way to search.” What might help you answer this question is the fact that there are many similar potentially unwanted programs that claim to be providing the best way to search, for example, SearchGamez.

Access TV Streaming

Access TV Streaming

Access TV Streaming probably sounds like a beneficial extension. One that could help you stream TV. Of course, if it offered free streaming for popular channels, it would be offering illegal services. Instead, it simply provides a list of links to third-party websites that offer paid streaming services, such as Hulu, Netflix, Roku, ESPN, CNN, YouTube, Xfinity, etc. Do you need a tool that could provide you with a list like that? Even if you think that you do, wouldn’t it be better to just bookmark the streaming services you use and have them accessible via the Bookmarks bar on your Google Chrome browser? Some might think that the extension offers convenience, but it offers much more than that, and not all is good. Our team at Anti-Spyware-101.com recommends removing Access TV Streaming, and if you understand the reasons for that, you might want to scroll down to the last section to learn about your options when deleting the unwanted extension. If you are missing some information, keep reading. Read more »

BestPDFSearch

BestPDFSearch

If you think that BestPDFSearch can help you find PDF converters, you have been tricked into believing in the wrong thing. The word “search” in the name is more important because, in fact, this extension simply presents a search tool. That is exactly how SportsHDSearchs, ConverterzSearch, AllConvertersSearch, and other extensions work as well. All of them look the same, and it is possible that the same party is responsible for all of them. If the creator focused on one extension, they could create something beneficial and attractive. However, copies of the same kind of a tool keep being produced, and so quantity is more important than quality. There is no doubt about that. Needless to say, you should not waste your time on low-quality products, and so we advise deleting BestPDFSearch. The instructions we have prepared will help you remove the PUP (potentially unwanted program) from Google Chrome manually, but before you dig into these instructions, read the report. Read more »

Templates Discovery Tab

Templates Discovery Tab

Templates for cards, invitations, documents, forms, or certificates can be useful, which is why Templates Discovery Tab might seem like an attractive tool. This extension promises to give access to various templates, but our Anti-Spyware-101.com research team does not identify it as a useful tool. Instead, we identify it as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). This is the conclusion that has been made after thoroughly inspecting the extension in an internal lab and finding out that it has many other functions, not just offering templates. In fact, it does not even produce templates of its own. Instead, it presents links to third-party websites, where templates can be found. So, in our eyes, the extension is neither useful nor trustworthy, and removing it seems like the only logical move. Are you ready to delete Templates Discovery Tab, or do you need more information about this PUP? In either way, you should keep reading. Read more »

Kuus Ransomware

If your computer cannot open your files and they have .kuus extension, your system might have been infected by a threat called Kuus Ransomware. It is a malicious file-encrypting application that uses a robust encryption algorithm to lock files that could be valuable. Afterward, the malware drops a ransom note asking to pay ransom if you want to get decryption tools that could unlock all files. The hackers may reassure you that you will get the promised tools, but, in reality, there are no guarantees that you will receive them. Therefore, we advise you to think carefully if you really want to deal with cybercriminals. Until you decide that you may want to learn more about the malware, in which case, we invite you to read the rest of this article. A bit below it, you should see our deletion instructions that show how you might be able to erase Kuus Ransomware manually. Read more »

HAT Ransomware

HAT Ransomware

If your Windows operating system is not currently secured against malware, fix this problem ASAP because HAT Ransomware could invade through various different security cracks. Such cracks can be opened by spam emails, unpatched vulnerabilities, malvertising scams, unreliable downloaders, and so on. It does not take much for cybercriminals to find a victim, and if they are successful, all files found on the attacked system are encrypted. What does that entail? When files are encrypted, reading them normally is impossible. According to the researchers at Anti-Spyware-101.com, a tool called ‘Rakhni Decryptor’ exists (created by ransomware researchers), but we cannot know for sure that you will be able to decrypt all of your files using it. Hopefully, that is the case, but even if you cannot recover files, you should not pay attention to the cybercriminals’ demands. Instead, you should focus on deleting HAT Ransomware. Read more »

Alpha865qqz Ransomware

Alpha865qqz Ransomware

You must protect your Windows operating system against Alpha865qqz Ransomware at all cost because if it manages to invade, it can encrypt everything. No, it does not encrypt system files, but that is only because the infection needs your operating system to function properly so that appropriate messages could be introduced to you. Other than that, all of your personal files can be corrupted, and that is done using an encryption key. This key is unique and strong, and so you cannot decipher the encrypted files yourself. Can third-party tools help? Free decryptor exist, but they cannot decipher secret keys. In some cases, cybersecurity experts are able to build free decryptors for the victims of ransomware, but that happens rarely, and that hasn’t happened for the Alpha865qqz infection yet. Unfortunately, files cannot be recovered by deleting Alpha865qqz Ransomware either. In fact, this malware should remove itself once it is done with the encryption of your personal files. Read more »
