RemoveIt Pro 2017 Enterprise

RemoveIt Pro 2017 Enterprise is a removal tool that you can try out free of charge for 30 days or purchase a lifetime version for 20 US dollars. The price is undoubtedly small compared to other similar tools, but we would advise you to get to know the application first before investing any money in it. After all, it could appear to be a complete waste of your savings. Our researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com believe the software is useless because during the tests it not only displayed different results each time but also detected files that cannot be found on the computer or valid data belonging to the system or other programs. Consequently, it was decided RemoveIt Pro 2017 Enterprise should be categorized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). If you do not want to keep it installed any longer, we can offer the removal instructions available at the end of this report. Read more »

OhNo Ransomware

OhNo Ransomware

OhNo Ransomware is a very suspicious infection that, at the moment, does not seem to fulfill its potential. In the future, this threat could become a serious file-encrypting threat, but, at the moment, the worst it can do is show a notification demanding a ransom in return of the so-called “Unique Key” that, supposedly, is the only thing that can get your files decrypted. If your files are encrypted, unfortunately, this key might be the only thing that could save them; however, you need to keep in mind that it is held hostage by cyber criminals, and they are unlikely to keep their promises even if you follow their demands. At the time of research, they demanded a ransom of 2 XMR/Monero. Monero is a crypto-currency similar to Bitcoin, a currency used by most ransomware creators. In the past, we have seen at least one other file-encryptor to use Monero, and it was called “Kirk Ransomware.” Needless to say, both of these threats deserve removal, but in this report, we focus on showing you how to delete OhNo Ransomware. Of course, our Anti-Spyware-101.com research team also reveals interesting information about this threat. Read more »

Search.searchytdav.com

When potentially risky search page called Search.searchytdav.com appears in your browsers, you may not even realize it due to the resemblance to the most popular Google search engine. This resemblance cannot be the work of coincidence but more likely a purposeful deception. This is not the first time our malware experts at anti-spyware-101.com see a browser hijacker like this. In fact, this malware infection belongs to a large and growing family of hijackers that includes identical clones (Search.searchytds.com) as well as very similar search engines (Search.searchfaa.com and  Search.hfreeforms.co). Finding this hijacker in your browsers could mean that there are other malware threats on board, too. This browser hijacker may gather information about your online activities and use this to display customized content for you via manipulated search results. Since it is never entirely safe to click on unreliable third-party ads and links, we believe that you should remove Search.searchytdav.com as soon as possible. Of course, this may not clean your PC completely, so you will need to be persistent and go on with the hunt until no questionable program remains hiding on your computer. Read more »

MindSystem Ransomware

It looks like MindSystem Ransomware might be an educational ransomware, but just like other file-encrypting programs created to demonstrate how such malware works, it may fall into cyber criminals’ hands. Thus, the chances are it could be later modified and distributed for money extortion. This is why we believe it might be useful to get to know MindSystem Ransomware better. If you read our report, you will learn not only about the malicious program’s working manner but also how it could be erased if it manages to settle in. In such case, we highly recommend using our removal steps located below the text since the threat may disable a lot of computer’s tools, and it could be too difficult to restore them alone without any guidance.

Haze Ransomware

Haze Ransomware is a screen-locker that poses as a file-encrypting infection. Although the notification that this threat displays suggests that your files were encrypted, that is unlikely to be the truth. Of course, by the time you are reading this report, the ransomware might have become capable of encrypting data, but that was not the case when our Anti-Spyware-101.com research team was analyzing this threat. We conclude that the infection presents bogus information to trick you into paying 25 Euros. You will not achieve anything by doing that, and so we do not recommend it. What we recommend doing instead is deleting Haze Ransomware. Although it appears that this infection locks the screen to prevent you from accessing your operating system and doing anything – including the removal of malware – unlocking the screen and then cleaning the operating system from malicious threats might be easy. If you are confused, read this report before you jump to the guide below. Also, note that you can add questions for our research team in the comments box below. Read more »

Norassie

Posted by on September 4, 2017 No comments

Our cyber security experts say that Norassie is not a single application, but an adware family that includes several or even more adware-type applications that come as browser extensions. The adware in this family is said to be distributed with the help of software bundles that can install it onto your browser secretly. Its objective is to show you advertisements while you browse the web. The ads generate revenue for the company responsible for releasing it. We recommend that you remove it because its ads are annoying and intrusive. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that the ads are safe. Hence, some of them can redirect you to scam websites. In short, this application is no good. Read more »
