GrandBurst

GrandBurst is a browser extension that according to its description should enhance user’s browsing experience by replacing default search engine and homepage.

Because of them, the extension was categorized as adware and what you should know about such software is that in most cases its primary purpose is to show users ads and generate advertising revenue for its creators. In other words, you will have no use for the application, unless you wish to see annoying advertisements. Moreover, such content could be potentially dangerous as well as we cannot know from where it might originate.

Recuperadados@protonmail.com Ransomware

Recuperadados@protonmail.com Ransomware

Recuperadados@protonmail.com Ransomware can infiltrate your system without your noticing it after you click to run a file you have downloaded from a dangerous spam e-mail. This is a major hit to your computer because this ransomware can encrypt your photos, videos, archives as well as program files. You will only be able to recover them and use them again unless you get hold of the decryption key. This key is of course in the hands of the cyber criminals who attacked you in the first place. They usually keep this unique key on a secret server. The only problem is that such crooks may have to shut down the server to cover their tracks, i.e., security reasons and thus the communication with the infection would break and your decryption key would be lost forever. In other words, even if you were ready to pay the several hundreds of dollars worth of ransom fee, you may not get the software and the key either. Our malware specialists at anti-spyware-101.com suggest that you remove Recuperadados@protonmail.com Ransomware right now if you want to save what is left of your system. Read more »

Thedon78@mail.com Ransomware

If you find all files, except those having the .exe filename extension, encrypted on your computer, it means that Thedon78@mail.com Ransomware is inside the system. It is 100% true if these files which you cannot open have received a filename extension .Thedon78@mail.com. Some people call this ransomware infection FenixLocker, but specialists have decided to call it Thedon78@mail.com Ransomware due to the email address it uses and the extension it appends to files it encrypts. Even though this infection has a new name, it does not differ from older similar ransomware infections, e.g. Centrumfr@india.com Ransomware at all because it has also been created to lock users’ files and obtain money from them. If you are one of those users who have found all files locked, you should not worry too much because the decryption tool which can be freely downloaded from the web has been recently developed by specialists. Go to download it from the web but do not forget that the decryption of files will only be effective if you fully remove Thedon78@mail.com Ransomware. If you do not do that, you might accidentally launch the malicious file and thus get your files all encrypted one more time. We are sure you do not wish this to happen again, so we have asked our specialists to help you get rid of this threat.
