Fake Microsoft Office Activation Tech Support

When you get infected with Fake Microsoft Office Activation Tech Support, you cannot simply close this annoying activation wizard. In fact, the panels shown to you may look very convincing and you may believe that you are actually seeing an MS Office suite activation. However, before long you sadly realize that there is no way for you to exit this wizard. As a matter of fact, our malware researchers at anti-spyware-101.com say that this malware infection is very similar to “Fake Windows Defender Prevented Malicious Software Tech Support,” “License has Expired +1-888-303-5121,” and “Windows Security Alert! 1-888-220-3607” that have emerged in previous months. The identical trait these infections exhibit is that they all offer you a supposed toll-free technical support telephone number that should connect you to a Microsoft certified technician; at least, this is what you are lead to believe. Unfortunately, this technical support scam is all about cornering you to call this number so that schemers can make you purchase a “highly recommended” application or an annual service of some kind. What we recommend highly is that you remove Fake Microsoft Office Activation Tech Support as soon as possible. Let us tell you why. Read more »

Manifestus Ransomware

Manifestus Ransomware

Manifestus Ransomware can show you a fake system warning to get itself time to encrypt your personal data (e.g. photos, pictures, documents, and so on). As usual for such malicious applications once this infection finishes the encryption process it displays a message from its creators. Based on the shown note it looks like the cyber criminals want users to pay a ransom of 0.2 BTC in exchange for a unique decryption key. While they might sound reassuring, in reality, there are no guarantees the malware’s creators will send you the decryption key as it might not even exist. Therefore, we would advise you not to waste your money and restore encrypted data yourself while using copies placed on external hard drives or other storages. Just before you connect any storage, delete Manifestus Ransomware with the instruction available below or with a legitimate antimalware tool. Read more »

Guster Ransomware

Guster Ransomware is a harmful malicious application that works just like other ransomware infections in order to extort money from people. As research has shown, it is another threat based on the engine of HiddenTear, which is known to be an open-source ransomware infection. Since it is based on the engine of this ransomware, it is clear that it uses the AES-256 encryption algorithm. It is a strong cipher used to lock users’ personal files stored on the computer. Files are not the only ones that will be locked if this ransomware infection sneaks onto the computer. This computer infection also opens a screen-locking window with a threatening message right after the successful entrance. You will see a flashing message there and a spinning skull at the bottom of the window. On top of that, the first sentence of the ransom note left to users will be played as spoken words. As can be seen, it does not try to hide the fact that it is already inside the computer, so it should not take long to realize that Guster Ransomware is the one performing activities on your system.

Roga Ransomware

The cyber criminals who created Roga Ransomware seek to extort money from users while encrypting most valuable data and making impossible to access it. Currently, users might be asked to pay around 20 British Pounds; thus, compared to other similar malware the demanded ransom is not so huge.

Therefore, if you do not like the idea you could lose some money in addition to the malicious application’s affected files, we urge you to eliminate Roga Ransomware either with a reliable antimalware tool or by following the instructions located below the article.
