Haters Ransomware is a program similar to FuckTheSystem Ransomware. Both of them probably come from the same creators and are equally dangerous, so you should remove them. Like its counterpart, Haters Ransomware was designed to encrypt your personal files. However, it does not drop a ransom note or ask you to pay money. It just encrypts your files and leaves them like that. The good news is that the developers have made a grave error of including the decryption key in the source code. The key is included in this article, so if your PC has become infected with this ransomware, you might want to read this article. Read more »

Frozrlock Ransomware
The files encrypted by the malicious Frozrlock Ransomware can be very hard to identify because they are not marked with a unique extension, which is what usually happens when ransomware encrypts files. Because of that, the only way to know which files were corrupted by this threat is by trying to open every single file. Of course, the chances are that every single file on your computer – except Windows elements and files in %WINDIR%f – was encrypted. This malicious threat, of course, targets documents, media files, and photos first, but it can also corrupt the files of downloaded applications. Due to this, you might find that you can no longer use your browser and other apps. While you can restore your web browser, restoring personal files might be more complicated. Hopefully, these files are backed up; otherwise, they might be lost for good. Continue reading to learn all about the encryption of your files, as well as how to delete Frozrlock Ransomware (also known as FileFrozr Ransomware). Read more »
WiseFolderLock
WiseFolderLock is an application you might find installed on your computer illegally because it travels in software bundles. Of course, you could have downloaded it willingly from the web too, but this, to be frank, does not change the fact that this application cannot be called fully trustworthy. Specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com say after carrying out research that users should consider the WiseFolderLock removal because it is a potentially unwanted program, or PUP. Even though it is not a malicious application, there are two reasons why it has fallen into the category of potentially unwanted software. First, it might enter computers bundled with software belonging to third parties without permission. Second, it is impossible to erase it fully using Control Panel. Last but not least, some users claim that they see ads on their screens after installing this program (we cannot confirm that this program really displays commercials). We cannot force you to delete this program, but we highly recommend getting rid of it and then installing reputable software with similar features. Keeping an untrustworthy program installed is always a bad idea because they might be updated one day and start acting even more harshly. Read more »
mixGames Search
We highly advise you to avoid an application that goes by the name of mixGames Search. While it is advertised as a tool that should improve your online searchers, you should know that in reality it has been classified as one more potentially unwanted program that should not be active on your operating system. Such classification has been made because this piece of software exhibits dubious functionality, to put it lightly. Having it fully active on your operating system will make surfing the web a much more annoying and frustrating experience, to say the least. Another major reason our research team has categorized it as a potentially unwanted program is the fact that it could be distributed in devious and even potentially dangerous ways. To find out more about mixGames Search and its suspicious inner workings, make sure to read the rest of this report. Alongside such information, we provide a detailed removal guide. Read more »
Login Faster
If your new tab page, start page, or default search provider was switched with a questionable search engine called Search.searchlff.com, you most likely encountered a browser hijacker known as Login Faster. The application is a browser extension, and according to its description, it should help users log in into their email accounts faster. Unfortunately, what you actually get is modified browser settings and a useless additional toolbar that provides a couple of links to popular web pages. If you visit such sites often, you probably already have them on your bookmarks bar, so another toolbar might seem simply too much. If you are not happy with the application, you should think no more and delete the extension immediately as it is not a reliable piece of software. We will talk about this later in the text; thus, we urge you to continue reading to learn more. At the end of the article, you will also find removal instructions explaining how to eliminate Login Faster manually. Read more »
Air Media Player
Air Media Player is a new application that offers you video watching features; however, after careful and deep testing, our malware specialists at anti-spyware-101.com say that this software is far from functioning and reliable either. In fact, we have concluded that this is a potentially unwanted program (PUP) that might pose a potential threat to your system even if not directly. Unfortunately, this PUP may bring a few unwanted surprises on board. We have found that this questionable application could be used to spread adware programs and other useless PUPs. Since this software does not even seem to work at all as promised, we believe that you should not hesitate to remove Air Media Player from your system along with all other related and unrelated threat sources as well. If you do not want to be exposed to questionable third-party content and let more infections onto your PC or worse, you should not leave even potentially risky applications on your computer. For further information regarding this PUP and how you could protect your PC from similar headaches, please read on. Read more »

Failedaccess Ransomware
Failedaccess Ransomware is a dangerous file-encrypting application that was named accordingly to the extension, which is added to the threat’s damaged files. The strangest part is that the malware’s creators ask to pay some money and do not even specify the account where the money should be transferred. Therefore, it seems it is impossible to purchase the offered decryption tool. Of course, even if the infection provided payment details, we would still advise against it as there is always a possibility you could end up losing the invested money for nothing. Given the circumstances, there is nothing left to do but to eliminate Failedaccess Ransomware and start afresh. If you continue reading the article, we will tell you more about the malicious program, and below the text, you can find instructions showing how to delete the malware manually. Read more »
BitKangoroo Ransomware
Do you have 1862 US Dollars just lying around? If you do not, fulfilling the demands of the BitKangoroo Ransomware might be complicated. When this devious infection slithers in, it encrypts your files and then requests a payment of 1 Bitcoin – which, at the moment, translates to the sum above – to be paid within an hour. Even if money is not an issue, paying the ransom is risky because it is unlikely that the promised decryption key would be provided to you after paying it. Needless to say, you are in a sticky situation if this ransomware has invaded your operating system and encrypted your files. The good news is that you should be able to find a decryptor that can decrypt your files for free, and that is not something that happens often. Hopefully, you manage to get your files decrypted, and you can delete BitKangoroo Ransomware without any hesitation. Note that if your files are freed, the malicious components are still active, and you will not be safe until you remove them from your PC. Read more »
Mordor Ransomware
For those who are familiar with the Lord of the Rings trilogy the very title of Mordor Ransomware should make it clear it is a dangerous application as the word Mordor translates into The Black Land or The Land of Shadows. However, compared with other threats alike, the malware does not seem to be so harmful. According to our computer security specialists at Anti-spyware-101.com, the malicious application does not lock the screen or damage data belonging to the operating system. In other words, if you encounter such threat you might lose all personal data, but at least you could still be able to use the computer normally, although we would recommend erasing the infection first. Mordor Ransomware can be eliminated manually with the instructions located below or with a reliable antimalware tool. Read more »
