Perfect Startpage

T.M.D.S. TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT Ltd. is the creator of Perfect Startpage, a seemingly still unpopular Google Chrome extension that people can download for free from the Chrome Web Store.

Vawe Ransomware

Vawe Ransomware is an infection that we are still tracking very closely. It appears that it comes from the STOP Ransomware family – which we talk more about further in this report – but we are still looking to see if it evolves or changes with time. While the Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers continue to track and analyze this malware, we are sharing the information that has been collected already to warn you about it. And there is definitely something to warn about. This malware has your personal files on the target, and if you let it in, it will go straight to your documents, videos, and pictures to encrypt them.

Unfortunately, it is impossible for us to say whether or not you can get them unlocked. However, there are solutions to consider. At the end, of course, you must remove Vawe Ransomware, and we discuss the different methods that you can use to delete the infection also. Read more »
