OzozaLocker Ransomware

OzozaLocker Ransomware is the newest infection to join the family of such well-known ransomware threats as M0on Ransomware, NMoreira Ransomware, and VindowsLocker Ransomware. The name of this threat is included in the program’s code, but it is not a name you are likely to encounter yourself. Due to this, you might have trouble identifying this threat yourself. If this malware has slithered into your PC and created a file called “HOW TO DECRYPT YOU FILES.txt”, you need to check the contents of this file. If it represents the Santa_helper@protonmail.com email address, it is most likely that you are dealing with the malicious OzozaLocker infection. Of course, you might recognize it as the Santa_helper@protonmail.com Ransomware. Whichever name you recognize this threat by, your personal files must be encrypted now, and, unfortunately, you will not rectify this by deleting the threat. Needless to say, it is crucial that you remove OzozaLocker Ransomware from your operating system, but you need to think about your files first. Read more »

Tech-connect.biz

If you are redirected to Tech-connect.biz when you open your browser, it is very likely that the settings of your browser have been changed. This has, most probably, been done by a browser hijacker infection. These threats secretly enter computers and then make modifications. It has been found that the browser hijacker promoting Tech-connect.biz changes the user’s homepage and default search engine. In other words, you will have to use this search tool as your default search provider until you fully eliminate it. Researchers at anti-spyware-101.com say that you should do that as soon as possible because this search engine is not trustworthy at all. Specialists say so because they have detected a bunch of sponsored search results on the search results page displayed by this engine. These search results are only shown for users to promote third-party websites, and they are not based on the search query entered, which means that users might not find the information they are looking for after clicking on a provided link of a third-party web page.
