FoxRansom Ransomware

FoxRansom Ransomware

FoxRansom Ransomware is a threat our specialists have discovered only recently. It might make your files inaccessible even though it did not lock personal data at the time of research, they say. This might happen if the ransomware infection is ever updated. You cannot keep malware active on your system no matter which version of it you encounter because the presence of bad software might result in the entrance of other threats and other privacy and security-related problems. Therefore, you must erase FoxRansom Ransomware from your system immediately after having discovered it active on your computer. It seems that this threat is still in development, specialists at anti-spyware-101.com say. As mentioned, it did not encrypt files at the time of analysis. Second, it drops a ransom note that does not demand money, which is quite surprising because ransomware-type infections are mainly used to steal money from users. Since FoxRansom Ransomware does not seem to be sophisticated malware, you should not find its removal complicated, especially if you let our removal guide help you. Read more »

WannCrypto V6 Ransomware

WannCrypto V6 Ransomware

A new infection has been developed. At first glance, WannCrypto V6 Ransomware looked like a real threat, but it turned out that it does not do anything malicious. Our malware researchers say that it has probably been released just for fun. It was not even distributed at the time of research, so it is not very likely that you will ever encounter it. Theoretically, cyber criminals might update this infection and start spreading it with the intention of obtaining money from users, so you still cannot keep your system unprotected. If it ever happens that you end up with WannCrypto V6 Ransomware, which is not likely to happen, you should remove the ransomware infection from your computer no matter it works properly or not. If nothing changes, you could eliminate it by simply deleting the malicious file you have launched, i.e. the ransomware launcher. The entrance of ransomware is no fun, so do what you can to ensure your system’s maximum protection against malicious applications. Read more »

PC Repair Clinic

Anti-Spyware-101.com research team has analyzed the PUP (potentially unwanted program), and it was found that while it does not show fictitious results to trick users into paying money for it, it is unlikely that its services are beneficial.

KEYPASS Ransomware

KEYPASS Ransomware

There are so many file-encryptors that their creators are now creating and applying new features. The malicious KEYPASS Ransomware is a perfect example of that. Although it is primarily a file-encrypting and ransom-demanding threat – just like most ransomware – it also could work as spyware because it has the functionality of a keylogger. Needless to say, this makes an already intimidating infection a real danger. It is not yet clear what kind of information the infection might attempt to record, but it is known that KEYPASS Ransomware removes itself after the encryption of files, and so it is unlikely that it would lurk on the computer for a long time just to record keystrokes in the hopes of obtaining credit card information, login data, or other sensitive details. All in all, you do not want to let your guard down. It is possible that you are in danger, and you want to make sure that every single malicious component is deleted successfully. First, scan your operating system to see what is going on. Read more »

PooleZoor Ransomware

PooleZoor Ransomware

PooleZoor Ransomware shows a ransom note asking to pay 10,000,000 Riyal. The sum seems ridiculous, especially when it is asked for decrypting files located on the Desktop folder alone. The malware does not encrypt any other data than the files available on the user’s Desktop directory. No doubt, there might be users who keep a lot of important files there, but for some users, it could be a few pictures, perhaps documents with details of their online purchases, etc. What we are trying to say is there is a chance the malicious application may not encipher any data that would be worth paying a ransom for. However, we do not think there was some mistake. The simplest explanation would be PooleZoor Ransomware could be just a test version, and the next release might damage more files and ask for a more reasonable sum to pay. For more information about it, we urge you to read our full article. Also, should you need deletion instructions, keep it in mind you can find them at the end of this text. Read more »

mirey@tutanota.com Ransomware

mirey@tutanota.com Ransomware might belong to the Cryptconsole Ransomware family: a group of malicious applications coded in C# on Microsoft .NET framework. Another thing they have in common is they might open a command prompt window while they encipher files located on the infected computer. Our researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com say closing it could make the malware stop encrypting user’s data, so it is best to close this window the moment you notice it. Unfortunately, users who have never seen a ransomware application before may not realize what is happening or imagine what the consequences might be. If you want to get to know mirey@tutanota.com Ransomware better, we recommend reading our full article. As for users who wish to get rid of the malicious program faster we encourage you to slide below the text and use the provided removal instructions. Read more »

Maxi Buy

Maxi Buy

Maxi Buy is presented as a beneficial browser extension that can help to save some time and money by finding and displaying where a particular product a user is viewing can be purchased for a lower price. It seems that users believe that this piece of software can be useful – a number of users have already installed it on their computers. To be more specific, there were 9,918 users in total who had this extension installed at the time of writing. Maxi Buy is compatible with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Safari (but only Google Chrome version was working properly at the time of research), which clearly shows that the developer of this application targets a wide range of users. Some users consciously install Maxi Buy on their PCs from its official website, or, in the case of Google Chrome users, directly from the Chrome Web Store, but it does not mean that it cannot enter computers illegally. As research carried out by specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com has shown, this piece of software might also come bundled, which explains why it has been categorized as a potentially unwanted application by researchers. The application might seem to be really useful, but you should definitely not keep it installed if you have not installed it yourself. Read more »
