Banjo Ransomware

Banjo Ransomware

Banjo Ransomware could have been executed without your knowledge. However, you could have executed it yourself too. Cybercriminals behind ransomware are often using spam emails and inconspicuous downloaders to introduce Windows users to the malicious launchers. Of course, that is done covertly, and to trick targets into clicking on file attachments or running a bundled installer, they usually offer something impossible to ignore. So, for example, the misleading spam email could suggest that the attached document contains a discount code, and the downloader might suggest that it contains a free installer of an otherwise expensive piece of software. Whatever tricks have been used to launch this malware on your operating system, your personal files must have been encrypted. So, how do you decrypt them? Unfortunately, that might be impossible to do. Even if that is the case, you still need to remove Banjo Ransomware. Read more »

GoIncognitoSearch

GoIncognitoSearch

GoIncognitoSearch is an extension compatible with Google Chrome. This extension might have been introduced via the Chrome Web Store at some point – or it will be introduced in the future – but our Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers could not find a working installer at the time of analysis.

For example, the installer of the extension could be packaged along with third-party programs. You could find it on suspicious websites. So, have you installed this suspicious extension? Regardless of how that happened, we recommend that you delete it from Google Chrome as soon as possible. It is easy to remove GoIncognitoSearch, but we strongly recommend that you read the entire report before you get rid of it. Read more »
