Scarab Ransomware
Scarab Ransomware is a vicious file-encrypting malware since it not only encrypts your valuable data with a secure cryptosystem but also deletes shadow copies. As a result, all the affected files become unusable, and without the shadow copies, it becomes impossible to restore them. On top of that the user should receive a ransom note saying there is a decryption key, which could restore encrypted files, but to get it you would have to pay a ransom. Needless to say, by paying the ransom, you would fund the cyber criminals behind Scarab Ransomware, and because there are no guarantees you will get this decryption key it is entirely possible you could lose the transferred money completely in vain. Therefore, instead of contacting the threat’s creators, we advise you to concentrate on the infection’s removal. The instructions placed below will tell where the malicious files could be and show you how to erase them too. Read more »

Video Ads Blocker
Video Ads Blocker is a questionable browser extension that promises you to block advertisements on YouTube while you are viewing videos, but our malware researchers at anti-spyware-101.com say that this app may just do the opposite. In fact, we have labeled it as a potentially unwanted program or more popularly, a PUP. Many users think that they can keep and use PUPs without any serious consequence but we beg to differ. This extension, for example, may redirect you to websites that might be promoting harmful software or display unreliable third-party ads while you are browsing the web. It get only worse because it is quite likely that you install this PUP unknowingly while installing a questionable freeware bundle that could be packed with malicious software installers. In other words, if you find this extension in the affected browsers, there is a good chance that you will also find more dangerous malware threats on your system. If you want to save your PC from being crippled and frozen one day, we suggest that you do not hesitate to remove Video Ads Blocker and all the related or possibly unrelated threats as well that you may detect on your computer.
