Search.htextfrompc.co

We do not think that there are users out there who set Search.htextfrompc.co willingly on their browsers. It is more likely that this search tool replaces users’ default homepages on their browsers due to the entrance of a browser hijacker. Unfortunately, it is compatible with all browsers, including Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox, so if you get infected with the browser hijacker, your all browsers’ settings will be altered. There are two types of users: those who notice the changes applied to their browsers but do not do anything about that and those who do not want to see Search.htextfrompc.co open for them. We hope that you belong to the second group of users and go to remove this Polarity Technologies Ltd product from your browsers today. Of course, this search tool is considered unreliable not without reason. It has several drawbacks that make it one of those untrustworthy search providers. The last paragraph will tell you more about it, so continue reading! Read more »

HappyCrypter Ransomware

Posted by on October 5, 2017 No comments

Remember the name of a harmful infection that might enter your system one day and encrypt your files – HappyCrypter Ransomware. It was not distributed actively at the time of writing, but everything might change soon, so we cannot guarantee that you are safe. If this infection ever enters your computer, it will definitely try to obtain money from you. It is the reason it encrypts users’ files upon the entrance too. Do not send a cent to cyber criminals even if the ransom note tells you that it is the only way to restore the encrypted data because you might be left without your files and money. To put it differently, there are no guarantees that you could unlock your files even if you pay a ransom, so do not send a cent to the author of HappyCrypter Ransomware, and, instead, erase this ransomware infection from your system completely. We cannot promise that you could unlock those files it has encrypted for free, but there is one way to get those encrypted files back – you could restore them all from a backup. Of course, before you take any action, you must delete the ransomware infection fully so that fixed files would not be locked again. Read more »

Toothy

Have you downloaded Toothy in a regular manner, o were you forced to download it? This is an extension that is compatible with Google Chrome, and Anti-Spyware-101.com research team has found that it can be introduced to users via an unreliable page that goes full-screen with a notification suggesting that the page can be closed only if you let the add-on in. At first sight, this add-on does not look dangerous at all, and it might be represented via the Google Chrome store – which, of course, is a reputable source – but that does not mean that you should install it. If you are being pushed to install anything, you should NOT; even if it looks harmless or beneficial. Instead, you need to focus on closing the page representing the installer. You might be able to do that by clicking the F11 button or by switching to a different window using the Alt+Tab key combination. If you end up installing it, we recommend that you delete Toothy. Unfortunately, other threats might exist along with this PUP (potentially unwanted program). Read more »
