Smpl Ransomware

Smpl Ransomware

It is possible that you have no idea where Smpl Ransomware came from. All you might know is that this infection encrypted the personal files on your operating system, but you cannot pinpoint the moment of its attack and entrance. If you know exactly when this infection slithered in, you might be able to locate and delete the launcher file that is responsible for it all. Unfortunately, if you eliminate the launcher after the encryption of your files, you save them. The encryption process is not complicated at all, but it enables the attackers to lock you out, so to speak. Once files are encrypted, their data is scrambled, and the purpose of that is to ensure that only a decryptor can read it. We hope that you can recover your files, but we want to help you understand why trusting cybercriminals’ promises is a terrible idea. Continue reading to learn more about that as well as how to delete Smpl Ransomware from your Windows operating system. Read more »

Fast Power EcoSearch

Fast Power EcoSearch

You have to be careful with Fast Power EcoSearch because although this extension is introduced in a very positive way, our research team warns that there is more below the surface. This tool can change your search settings and also record information about you. On top of all that, it is unlikely to offer any beneficial services. If you have downloaded this extension already, it is most likely that you did it to boost the speed of your Google Chrome browser. Well, if that is the case, you need to ask yourself why your browser is running slower than usual. Did you recently change your Internet provider? In which case, your browser might have nothing to do with Internet speeds. Is your browser long overdue for a deep clean? Many people do not realize that cache and cookies take up space, and so removing them might solve minor speed issues. That is something you have to figure out yourself, but we can help you figure out how to delete Fast Power EcoSearch. Read more »

Liansatrickth.info

Liansatrickth.info is an adware server, a website that may show ads from different sources. Our specialists say that this website needs to gain permission to show notifications first, which is why the site asks users to click the Allow button located on the pop-up that asks if they wish to see notifications. The problem is that the website proposes to click the mentioned button to continue and does not explain that you would also receive notifications. If you want to keep away from such content, we advise against clicking Allow. If you already did and want to eliminate Liansatrickth.info notifications, you could try our deletion steps available at the end of this article. To learn more about the adware server, you could read our full report. Read more »

News-back.best

News-back.best

Users who enter News-back.best might expect to receive news or other information. However, instead of news, they might see a blank website displaying a message that asks to click the Allow button. At the time we visited the site, it said that we need to click Allow to confirm that we are not robots. There is nothing wrong with asking to verify that visitors are not robots. However, such requests raise suspicion when the message that displays the Allow button does not ask to confirm anything but states that the website wants to show notifications. If you do not need such content, you should click Block instead of Allow. In case you clicked Allow hastily and not want to remove News-back.best notifications, we can offer our deletion steps available below this article. To learn more about the adware server, we recommend reading the text first. Read more »

Search Pro

You might have been introduced to Search Pro as a “search management extension” that, allegedly, can provide access to trending searches that are “carefully reviewed and selected” by the creator. That certainly sounds pretty amazing, and so it is not surprising that many people have chosen to install it onto their browsers. Did you download it too? If you did, it is possible that you used the Chrome Web Store installer (chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/search-pro/jobjcgojjnbejjjeeeodeaonknnkjjed). The extension can also be introduced to people with the help of pop-ups and advertisements, and some might even feel like they are forced to install it. So, which one is the scenario you are a part of? Whether you installed the potentially unwanted program (PUP) after close deliberation, or you do not remember installing it in the first place, you have the same reasons to remove it. Continue reading, and you will learn why our Anti-Spyware-101.com research team advises deleting Search Pro. Read more »

Click-to-watch.live

Do not enable notifications introduced by Click-to-watch.live, or you will flood yourself with various ads, offers, warnings, and promotions. While advertising is part of our virtual lives, it is one thing to trust legitimate ads that belong to legitimate product/service developers and that are introduced via legitimate advertising platforms. It is an entirely different thing to interact with ads that are introduced via unreliable platforms and that promote completely unreliable products and services. Hopefully, you have not been tricked by the unreliable ads, alerts, or offers, and you can delete Click-to-watch.live notifications without further problems. Do you know how to perform the removal? The process is quite simple, and we hope that our tips and the guides shown below will assist you. As always, if you have questions after reading our report, you can ask them in the comments section.

Wholocked Ransomware

Wholocked Ransomware

Wholocked Ransomware is the kind of infection that you are likely to remember for a long time if it manages to invade your Windows operating system even after you delete it. This threat is sneaky, and it can attack without you fully realizing it. According to our experts at Anti-Spyware-101.com, files attached to misleading spam emails and RDP vulnerabilities could be used to distribute the infection. If it is successful at invading your system, it should be able to encrypt all of your personal files. Unfortunately, that means that your documents, photos, videos, archives, and other personal files should become unreadable. The encryption key that this malware employs is unique, and free decryptors cannot crack it. Unfortunately, at the time of research, malware researchers had not built a working decryptor either. This means that the victims of this malware are stuck. Can you recover your files by removing Wholocked Ransomware? If only that were the case. While you must get rid of the infection, do not expect that your files will be restored afterward. Read more »
