BigEyes Ransomware
BigEyes Ransomware, also known as LimeDecryptor Ransomware, is a dangerous malicious application that belongs to the category of crypto-malware. If it ever infiltrates your computer, it will cause you a lot of trouble because it always encrypts a bunch of personal files on victims’ computers. This infection does not differ much from older threats even though it is new – it is also used to obtain money from users. Do not send a cent to malicious software developers even if your important files have been locked because they will never stop developing new infections if all victims send money to them. Also, we cannot promise that you could unlock your data after you pay a ransom, so it would be smart not to spend money on the tool that, theoretically, can unlock files. There is a small possibility that a free decryptor will be developed by specialists in the future, so remove the ransomware infection from your system completely but do not rush to remove all encrypted data, especially if there are extremely important files among those encrypted ones. Read this article till the end the end to find more about the BigEyes Ransomware removal. Read more »

Amazon Rewards Event Scam
Amazon Rewards Event Scam appears to users in the form of the fake pop-up. It is quite easy to recognize it because it always comes from the domain http://playing.youphone.club/raffle/en/azwc-c-opt/.

There are several possible reasons why you have encountered Amazon Rewards Event Scam. First, you see it because you have landed on its domain by mistake. Second, you have been redirected to its domain against your will. Third, it is displayed periodically on your screen due to active malicious software on your computer.
