Omfl Ransomware

Omfl Ransomware

If you leave your Windows system unprotected, Omfl Ransomware is one of the many threats that could invade it. The cybercriminals behind this malware do not even need to put too much effort into executing this malware. They usually send spam emails containing malicious links and attachments to random people, and if they are tricked into clicking on these links and attachments, malware can be executed without anyone’s notice. Obviously, security software should identify and remove malware before it is executed, but there are still plenty of unprotected systems for cybercriminals to exploit. Unfortunately, there are also tons of other threats that can do the same. So, do you need to delete Omfl Ransomware? If you do, we can show how to do it quickly and completely. If you are trying to protect your system against this malware, we can show you how to do that as well. Read more »

GetSearchConverter

GetSearchConverter

Do you have GetSearchConverter installed on your Google Chrome browser? If you do, we have some information for you about this potentially unwanted program (PUP) and why we recommend deleting it as soon as possible. If you do not have this extension installed, but you have encountered its installer, and you are curious to learn if it can offer you something useful, let us warn you that it has nothing to offer. Yes, it sounds like a tool for better web searches, but that is just a disguise that hides highly suspicious activities. Our team of experts at Anti-Spyware-101.com strongly recommends removing GetSearchConverter if it is installed and refusing it if it is offered for installation. We go deeper into these topics in this report, but if you feel like you know enough already, and you want to get to the removal part, check out the last section. Read more »

IncognitoSearchPro

IncognitoSearchPro

Did you seek out IncognitoSearchPro, and you installed it because it seemed to offer exactly what you were looking for? That is unlikely to be the case, given that this extension does not really offer much. It simply states that it can optimize search results represented via Yahoo Search, and you can find this statement at chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/incognitosearchpro/jjenlgjplfbkcblajicehijdofcnamij. We doubt that many users would think to install a tool to make their search results better because that is not really a legitimate service. If you were not pleased with your search tool, it is more likely that you would switch it for something else rather than look for ways to enhance it. In any case, we suggest that you delete IncognitoSearchPro if you have downloaded it onto your Google Chrome browser. Of course, we do not recommend removing it just because we doubt that anyone would be interested in it. There are serious reasons why eliminating this extension is advised. Read more »

Qlkm Ransomware

Qlkm Ransomware

Cybercriminals did not need to put in any effort when creating Qlkm Ransomware because it is a clone of literally hundreds of other infections. A few of them include Jdyi Ransomware, Vvoa Ransomware, Vpsh Ransomware, and Agho Ransomware. STOP Ransomware appears to be the predecessor of this family, and that is why scanners and malware removal tools identify different variants as STOP malware. So, how can we separate the different variants? It is actually very simple. If malware from this family has invaded your system, your personal files must have been encrypted, and if they have, you should find an additional extension appended to their names. If you have to remove Qlkm Ransomware from your Windows system, you should find the “.qlkm” extension attached to the corrupted files’ names. There is nothing else to say about this extension, and note that your files will not be restored if you delete it. Unfortunately, they will not be restored if you remove Qlkm Ransomware either.

TopSportsSearch

TopSportsSearch

TopSportsSearch is an extension that has nothing to do with sports. It is also not really a search tool. If you think that only the name of this extension is misleading, we have to disappoint you. The entire extension is a useless piece of junk, and it cannot offer you anything beneficial. Of course, it can redirect your searches to Yahoo Search, but that is not the service you might think it is. The results you are shown are completely unreliable because they are supposed to promote the links of the PUP’s partners. What is wrong with that? Well, first of all, did you install the extension so that it could “optimize” the results by showing advertisements? Secondly, the partners are completely mysterious, and because we do not know much about them, we do not believe that trusting them is a good idea. Hopefully, you have not let the PUP in yet, but if you have, we want to show you how to delete TopSportsSearch. Read more »
