Since such data is locked, it cannot be opened and because of this some of the applications could crash, or you might be unable to launch them. If you want to be able to use the computer normally as soon as possible, we advise you to erase the threat first.

Raa-consult1@keemail.me Ransomware

Raa-consult1@keemail.me Ransomware can make your day become a real nightmare because this malware infection can encrypt your files, which you may lose in this malicious attack. This ransomware program seems to target Russian speakers, which is confirmed by the Russian ransom note that comes up on your screen after the encryption of your files has finished. The only way for you to recover your files seems to be to contact these criminals via e-mail. Obviously, you have to pay a certain amount of ransom fee to get the necessary decryption key or tool. However, this is a risky thing to transfer money to cyber criminals because our experience shows that most of the time your files may remain encrypted no matter how fast you try to pay. Another thing is that technical issues may also emerge, such as loss of connection to the Command and Control server, which will also result in the loss of your unique decryption key making the recovery of your files impossible. Since there is no free decryption tool on the web yet, your only chance to save your files is to have a backup copy on a removable drive. Read more »

Search.getsports.co

Search.getsports.co

Get Sports is an extension that should enable users to access websites related to sports faster and get the latest information about different sports; however, in reality, it promotes Search.getsports.co only. We cannot say that this website does not contain anything related to sports because it would not be true – there are quick access buttons leading to sports-related websites; however, unfortunately, the Get Sports extension does not do anything very useful. Also, not all the users who install this extension know that it will change the settings of all the popular browsers (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox), so they find it surprising that they see Search.getsports.co in the place of their default search engines and homepages. To be more specific, this search engine will be set as homepage on Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox. It will also change the default search engine on Mozilla Firefox, and might even modify the New Tab page URL without permission. It does not matter you have installed the Get Sports extension yourself, or it has secretly entered your PC, you need to know that the presence of Search.getsports.co might result in the entrance of malware. Yes, this happens rarely, but we still cannot cheer you up by saying that Search.getsports.co is a reliable search tool because it is not. You will find out why we call it an untrustworthy search engine in the next paragraph. Read more »
