PDF To Pro

PDF To Pro

PDF To Pro is meant to provide you with access to popular converter tools, and that already lets you know that it is not useful. If you end up installing this extension, your New Tab page on Google Chrome is replaced, and the interface of the introduced webpage presents easy-access links to websites, where users can, allegedly, convert files. The websites that the PUP (potentially unwanted program) promoted at the time of research were cloudconvert.com, allfilesconverter.com, and freepdfconvert.com. It goes without saying that you do not need to install anything to access these websites. On the contrary, it is easier to access them without any extensions installed. All you have to do is visit the website, click Ctrl+D keys to bookmark it, and then you can access it directly from your browser’s homepage. This is not the only reason we recommend deleting PDF To Pro. In fact, it is not even the main reason. We suggest removing the PUP because we think that using it could be dangerous. Read more »

Zeronine Ransomware

Zeronine Ransomware

Are your personal files safe? You might think that they are until Zeronine Ransomware slithers in, changes their data, and makes it impossible for you to read them. Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers warn that this threat is just as dangerous as Covm Ransomware, CovidWorldCry Ransomware, Koti Ransomware, and hundreds of other infections alike. All of them were built to encrypt files and then make ransom demands, and in some cases, victims feel helpless. This leads them to contacting their attackers and sometimes even following their instructions. Hopefully, you understand that that is not a good idea, and you understand that deleting Zeronine Ransomware has to become your priority. If you have no way of recovering or replacing your files, you might consider taking risks, but let us warn you that cybercriminals cannot be trusted, and their promises are likely to be bogus. In any case, whether you restore your files or not, you must delete the malicious file-encryptor from your Windows operating system. Read more »

My Horoscope Tab

My Horoscope Tab

My Horoscope Tab is an extension that you might have downloaded onto your Google Chrome browser without putting in much thought. It offers horoscopes-related content, and it also presents its own search tool. That might be the extent of what you know about this PUP (potentially unwanted program), and that is a shame. It would not be just to say that this extension is completely useless – because it provides easy-access links to astrology.com pages – but to identify it as a useful tool would be irresponsible as well. Our researchers at Anti-Spyware-101.com have tested this suspicious extension in our internal lab, and it is completely obvious that it does not work in a beneficial manner. On the contrary, it can expose you to potentially unreliable content too. Perhaps you have figured that out already, and all you want is a removal guide. We have this prepared for you, but before you delete My Horoscope Tab, we suggest reading the report to learn about this extension. Read more »

Covm Ransomware

Covm Ransomware

How important are your personal files for you? If they are important, Covm Ransomware is the threat that you need to keep away at all costs. Once this malware slithers in, it instantly encrypts all documents, videos, photos, archives, and other personal files, which renders them unreadable. In theory, a decryptor should exist, but because the threat belongs to cybercriminals, you should not expect to obtain it. They will use the decryptor as bait to get your money, but that does not mean that they will conduct a fair exchange if you do everything that they want you to do. Hopefully, you have not been pushed into paying the ransom yet. Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers warn that you are unlikely to get anything in return for it, and so we suggest keeping your money to yourself. Does that mean that you have to come to terms with the fact that your personal files are lost? There is hope that you could restore your files after removing the infection. First, however, you need to delete Covm Ransomware. Read more »

Crypto Hub

Are you new to cryptocurrency, and there is a lot you want to learn? If that is the case, Crypto Hub might sound like a great addition to your Google Chrome browser. This extension is meant to help you learn about Blockchain, how cryptocurrency works, what is mining, and so on. If you installed this extension, perhaps you did not even notice that it also offers a “web search” tool. This might be presented as an additional service, but researchers believe that this might be the main service of the entire PUP, which is short for “potentially unwanted program.” When you read this report, you will realize how useless the extension truly is, and you will learn about the reasons why we recommend deleting Crypto Hub. Of course, if you already have your reasons to remove this PUP, perhaps you want to move straight to its elimination. Scroll down to find a guide, and do not forget to inspect your system afterward to make sure that there are no other threats that you need to address. Read more »

CovidWorldCry Ransomware

CovidWorldCry Ransomware

There are multiple malware infections out there that try to ride the wave of the biggest current global issues. CovidWorldCry Ransomware clearly sounds like something associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, but it’s just a dangerous infection that tries to make you think that you’re in for a lot of trouble.

Of course, you are in trouble if you get infected with CovidWorldCry Ransomware, but that’s just a cybersecurity issue. It has nothing to do with COVID-19. Consequently, you have to deal with that issue in the same manner as you would deal with any other ransomware infection. Read more »
