Avboost is a potentially unwanted application you could accidentally install with bundled setup files. At first, the program might look quite handy since it allows to change screen brightness, computer volume, turn off Wi-Fi, or take a screenshot with tools provided on a single pop-up window. On the other hand, most of nowadays keyboards have buttons that allow to turn the volume up and down, take screenshots, and so on. In other words, having this application installed may not make any difference at all. However, there is more as our researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com believe the program might be not only a worthless piece of software but also a possibly dangerous one. It looks like Avboost can install adware on the computer, and such software could show potentially malicious advertising content. Accordingly, users are advised to remove the suspicious tool before anything goes wrong and the deletion instructions located at the end of this text will show how to complete the task. Read more »

StrutterGear Ransomware seems to be a dangerous malicious threat in progress so it may not spread too widely just yet. Still, it is important for us to report what we have found out about this malicious program that could be your next nightmare once it is finished. Our malware specialists at anti-spyware-101.com say that this new threat is a new variant of the infamous Jigsaw Ransomware. We have seen a few infections rise from this malware, including Anonymous Ransomware and Payms Ransomware. Although this new version has all the capabilities of the original ransomware, right now it does not seem to encrypt any of your files. This means that you do not need to panic because whatever the rather obscene ransom note say may only describe a future version. So you can forget about paying hundreds of dollars for the decryption key. But even if this ransomware does not harm your files, you cannot leave this attack unaddressed. We recommend that you remove StrutterGear Ransomware ASAP if you do not want to risk any further security issues related to this threat. Read more »

Scarab Ransomware is a vicious file-encrypting malware since it not only encrypts your valuable data with a secure cryptosystem but also deletes shadow copies. As a result, all the affected files become unusable, and without the shadow copies, it becomes impossible to restore them. On top of that the user should receive a ransom note saying there is a decryption key, which could restore encrypted files, but to get it you would have to pay a ransom. Needless to say, by paying the ransom, you would fund the cyber criminals behind Scarab Ransomware, and because there are no guarantees you will get this decryption key it is entirely possible you could lose the transferred money completely in vain. Therefore, instead of contacting the threat’s creators, we advise you to concentrate on the infection’s removal. The instructions placed below will tell where the malicious files could be and show you how to erase them too. Read more »

The application’s title might suggest it is supposed to provide the user with the latest news, but in reality, it is a simple search engine.

Takeitnow.club is a website which is better known for specialists at anti-spyware-101.com as a redirect from suspicious third-party pages, such as http://911docs.net. Since it promotes the browser extension for Google Chrome called Fontfully, specialists are sure that promoting this piece of software is its main job. If this website is ever opened for you and goes into full-screen mode, do not click on the Add extension button because we cannot confirm that the promoted extension can be fully trusted and is beneficial. You do not need to click on this button to close this website, you can easily do that by clicking X or tapping Alt+F4 on your keyboard no matter that it has occupied the entire screen. Have you already added the extension it promotes? If so, you should remove it from the list of add-ons in the near future. We can assure you that it is not a harmful infection. Instead, it is just a potentially unwanted application. Even though these programs are far from malicious applications, they might still act in an undesirable way on users’ computers, so letting them stay is a bad idea. Let’s talk about Fontfully in detail first, and then we will focus on its removal. Read more »
