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.

Posted by on March 14, 2018 No comments

The research shows Starbax@tutanota.com Ransomware could be a new version of a malicious file-encrypting program known as RotorCrypt Ransomware. Just like the previous variant, it enciphers user’s personal data with a secure encryption algorithm. As a result, the affected data becomes unrecognizable, or in other words, it can no longer be opened by the user. Usually, such threats leave ransom notes to offer a decryptor and ask for a ransom, but in this case, the malicious program does not leave any messages.

Posted by on March 13, 2018 No comments

You Have Won A Google Gift fake alert is displayed to users in order to convince them that they could win an expensive item by answering 3 simple questions. We can assure you that the message you see has nothing to do with Google, and it is completely fake, so even though you are told that you have become one of “10 randomly chosen users” and “there are just a few prizes,” you should ignore it completely. Close your browser if You Have Won A Google Gift fake alert is ever displayed to you and do not allow it to restore the last browsing session. If it shows up on your screen again after some time, you should inspect all applications installed on your computer because the periodic appearance of the fake alert is a clear sign showing that some kind of untrustworthy application is installed on the system. Advertising-supported applications (adware) are usually the ones responsible for opening domains containing fake messages for users. If it turns out that you have untrustworthy software installed on your computer too, you must delete it ASAP. Read more »
