XINOF Ransomware

If you have no desire to have your personal files encrypted by XINOF Ransomware, you have to be cautious about how to secure your Windows operating system. While it is important that you install all updates and also stay away from unreliable websites, that is not enough. Cybercriminals could introduce the infection’s payload via a fake document attached to a harmless-looking email. They also could attach it to the installer of some attractive, desirable program. Ultimately, cybercriminals know all of the ways in which malware can be distributed successfully, and if you think you can outsmart them, you have to think again. Even experienced Windows users might have trouble with that, which is why it is imperative that all users implement trusted anti-malware software. If it is too late for that now, you might be focused on deleting XINOF Ransomware; however, note that you must not forget about the system’s protection after the removal of the infection.

Smooth Search Tab

Smooth Search Tab

Do you believe that you can browse the web “smoothly” with the help of Smooth Search Tab? If you do, you have to think about what kind of service this extension actually offers. Does it offer a tool that will help you browse the web quicker or easier? That is not the case. It simply promises to provide you with the search results of a third-party search engine, and, of course, that is nothing useful. If you downloaded this potentially unwanted program (PUP) from the Chrome Web Store (chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/smooth-search-tab/mfpnmamdicmfhemmnpbkldadnibnkfig), it should not have been installed with anything else. However, if you used a bundled downloader, the PUP might have been installed with other undesirable extensions and apps. Bundles can even be used to distribute malware! Before you continue reading to learn how to delete Smooth Search Tab, scan your system to check if there is anything else that you might want to remove. Read more »

ConvertItSearch

ConvertItSearch

ConvertItSearch sounds like the kind of program that you could use to convert files or access tools that could convert them. In reality, it is neither.

AnyStationSearch

AnyStationSearch

When you learn about an extension named AnyStationSearch, you might automatically assume that it could help you access any radio station you want. Well, in theory, it should provide you with that, but only because it has a search engine integrated within. You can use any search engine to find stations online, and you certainly do not need to install any extension to access that kind of service. Instead, you need to pick the preferred search engine and set it in place. Some people might want to see it as their homepage, while others might use it as the default search provider, which allows activating searches via the browser’s address bar. Is there anything else that you would install the extension for? We do not believe that that is the case, and that is one of the reasons we recommend removing AnyStationSearch. That is, however, not the only reason. Whether you have already decided to delete this PUP (potentially unwanted program), or you are still researching it, continue reading to learn more. Read more »
