Pdf2DocPro

Posted by on March 16, 2018 No comments

Pdf2DocPro is a browser extension compatible with the Google Chrome browser. It is presented as a beneficial piece of software that works as a PDF converter: “Get an easy and free PDF to DOC/DOC to PDF converter and translator!.” Because of this, we would not be surprised at all if its popularity increases considerably over time. Researchers working at anti-spyware-101.com have a different opinion about it. They consider Pdf2DocPro a browser hijacker and do not recommend installing it. If you have found yourself on the Chrome Web Store but still cannot decide whether or not you should install this add-on, you should definitely refrain yourself from doing that because your Google Chrome settings will be altered, and we are sure that there are better tools for converting documents available. Can you already locate a browser extension with finccmbmjdmhdcdjkfkkfdkbodjgelpc or ndgiipgjbobbpfaoceclhnckcagimhcn IDs in the add-ons manager on your browser? If so, our only piece of advice for you would be to get rid of it ASAP. It is far from extremely dangerous malware, but it is definitely not a fully trustworthy application either, so it would be better if Pdf2DocPro is completely removed. Read more »

Search.hdigitalcointracker.net

If you use Google Chrome, you need to be cautious about Search.hdigitalcointracker.net. This is a browser hijacker that comes packaged with the Digital Coin Tracker extension. Both the hijacker and the unwanted extension – which we classify as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) – were created by Polarity Technologies Ltd. Some readers might recognize the name because it has been mentioned in previous reports hundreds of times. Unfortunately, the company continues creating new extensions and new hijackers to accompany them, and, of course, we suggest removing all of them. Although they serve in different ways via the links that are promoted via them, in general, they all function in the same manner. Anti-Spyware-101.com research team warns that the hijacker can be used to showcase unreliable search results, as well as to record sensitive information. These are the reasons you should delete Search.hdigitalcointracker.net from your system ASAP. If you need more information, please continue reading. Otherwise, scroll down to the guide below.

Servime.exe

Posted by on March 12, 2018 No comments

If you can locate Servime.exe in the Windows folder, or you see an unknown process named Servime.exe in Task Manager, this is a clear sign that you have a malicious application installed on your computer. Specifically speaking, you have a Trojan miner active on your computer. These are threats that mine cryptocurrencies using victims’ CPU power. Of course, they do that without their knowledge. Just like similar Trojan infections, they also enter users’ computers without permission in most cases, they do not have program windows, and, finally they perform all their activities in the background, so it is not surprising that users find out about the entrance of the cryptocurrency miner after some time. In most cases, users first notice that their computers have become extremely sluggish and, because of this, they cannot perform certain activities using them. Do not worry; everything will get back to normal once you fully erase the Trojan miner from your computer. We cannot promise that this will be easy because the Servime.exe cryptocurrency miner might have more than one malicious component. We know that Servime.exe is one of them – it can be found in the Windows folder, as mentioned at the beginning of this paragraph; however, it is unclear where it has placed its other files and how they are named. Either way, you must delete this infection from your system as soon as possible because it will not remove itself from your computer, we can assure you. Read more »
