We can offer our removal instructions too, if you decide that you do not want to keep this extension on your browser any longer. The instructions are just a bit below the article.

Trendopportunityfollow.ga

Trendopportunityfollow.ga may ask you to verify that you are not a robot in a rather unusual way. Usually, websites ask to confirm that you are a person by ticking a checkbox or solving an easy puzzle. However, this website asks to click a button called Allow. Just like the button’s name suggests, clicking it allows a website to do something or, in other words, gives it a permission to do something specific. If you want to learn what it is as well as more about this website that was classified as an adware server, we encourage you to read our full article. For users who clicked Allow and now might be looking for a way to undo the process and eliminate Trendopportunityfollow.ga, we can offer our deletion instructions placed below the article.

Eknkfwovyzb Ransomware

If you run Windows, you have to watch out for Eknkfwovyzb Ransomware. This ransomware was created to encrypt your personal files, and let us assure you that it can encrypt pretty much all of your personal files. Once that is done, the “.eknkfwovyzb” extension is appended to them, and that is how you can assess the damages done. Unfortunately, fixing these damages is easier said than done. In fact, at the time that Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers analyzed this malware, there was no guaranteed way to get the files decrypted. The attackers behind the infection want you to believe something else, but we must warn you that this malware is just as dangerous as Wannacry666 Ransomware, Moba Ransomware, NYPD Ransomware, and thousands of other threats alike. Hopefully, the damages are not permanent, but that depends on what kinds of measures you have taken prior to the attack of this malware. Continue reading to learn more about that, as well as how to delete Eknkfwovyzb Ransomware. Read more »

ConverterSearchHD

If you have downloaded IStreamSearch recently, you should be able to just remove this potentially unwanted program (PUP) and forget about it. However, if it has been around for a while now, it is possible that you have already interacted with the search tool introduced by it, and that could cause different kinds of issues. Our Anti-Spyware-101.com experts have recently analyzed this suspicious extension in an internal lab, and we have a few tidbits of information that should help you understand and evaluate it better. It is important to note that this PUP is not unique. In fact, it has an uncountable number of clones, some of which include MovieSearches, ConverterSearchNow, NewVideoSearch, and AllRadioSearch. We always analyze and review all of them separately, but because they are clones, the same information and tips apply in every case. In this report, we show how to delete IStreamSearch, but note that you can use the same guide to get rid of all clones. Read more »

Wannacry666 Ransomware

Wannacry666 Ransomware

Receiving the Wannacry666 Ransomware could cause many problems as the malware could encrypt files that you might be unable to replace, such as photos, important documents, videos, etc. Files that become encrypted can be restored, as instead of being damaged, they get locked. However, it is vital to have a unique decryption key and a decryptor to undo the encryption. As you can probably imagine, both of these decryption tools are not easy to come by. In fact, the only ones who may have them could be the malicious application’s developers who offer them only to those who pay a ransom. We advise not to make any rash decisions because paying the ransom does not guarantee that you will get the needed decryption means. If you want to know why and learn more details about this threat, you should read the rest of this article. At the end of the text, you can also find our removal instructions that show how users might be able to erase Wannacry666 Ransomware manually. Read more »
