Videostripe Pop-up Ads can annoy you while surfing the web after your system has been infected with an adware program. We must emphasize that however aggressive marketing tactics the Videostripe website uses, it is a legitimate service. This platform claims to provide you with ad-free premium movies as “high-quality content directly streamed to you.” But even if this service itself seems to work just fine, it can be promoted by ad-supported programs that may also display unreliable third-party advertisements unrelated to this website. You can subscribe for this service officially but you need to be careful with it because the subscription form can be a bit tricky and not reading it carefully could cost you around 40 EUR a month. We consider the service provided by this website rather expensive. As a matter of fact, we recommend that you remove Videostripe Pop-up Ads before you fall for this trick. In order to be able to eliminate these annoying advertisements, you need to identify the adware program that may be responsible for them. Read more »

Diamond Computer Encryption Ransomware
If your operating system was invaded by Diamond Computer Encryption Ransomware, you must have been introduced to a file named “_READ_IT_FOR_RECOVER_FILES.html” already. This file is created to represent the demands that the creator of this malicious threat has for you.
