Supermagnet@india.com Ransomware

Supermagnet@india.com Ransomware

It is not your fault that you cannot access media and other valuable files. Most probably, Supermagnet@india.com Ransomware has entered the computer illegally and performed the encryption of data using the AES-256 cipher. There is no doubt that it is the one responsible for a bunch of locked files if your files now have a new filename extension .{Supermagnet@india.com} next to their original filename extensions (e.g. .jpg, .doc, and .pdf). Supermagnet@india.com Ransomware is a new member of the family using “india.com” in their emails, so, even though it is a new threat, it does not differ much from previously released ransomware infections (e.g. Help_you@india.com Ransomware, Melme@india.com Ransomware, and Ramachandra7@india.com Ransomware) belonging to this wide family. As in the case of those older threats, specialists at anti-spyware-101.com say that it is a really bad idea to keep Supermagnet@india.com Ransomware on the computer, so go to delete it the second you discover it on your system. Users who decide to ignore this problem might find their new files encrypted soon. On top of that, the ransom note it leaves for users could not be removed from Desktop since this computer infection creates an entry in the Run registry key so that it can launch automatically when the Windows OS loads up. As a consequence, the only way to disable it forever is to delete this threat fully from the computer. Read more »

Driver Updater Plus

Driver Updater Plus

Driver Updater Plus is a questionable application that claims to “keep your computer running at peak performance” by offering all kinds of software and driver updates after scanning your system. As a matter of fact, we have found that this software is quite useless if you install the free version because you cannot actually update anything with it. Due to the fact that this application can show up on your system coming from questionable sources, our malware specialists have labeled this tool as a potentially unwanted program, i.e., a PUP. This obviously means that you are not dealing with a major malware threat in this case, such as a ransomware or any other Trojan. Still, it is possible that the presence of this software may indirectly cause you some virtual security-related issues. If you do not like undesirable surprises, we suggest that you remove Driver Updater Plus from your system.

Fake Windows Defender Prevented Malicious Software Tech Support

Fake Windows Defender Prevented Malicious Software Tech Support

Fake Windows Defender Prevented Malicious Software Tech Support is hard to miss once it slithers onto your system and activates its attack. This malware infection blocks and locks your screen with a blue window that poses as a Windows product key authentication screen; however, in reality, it is nothing else than a fake alert. We have seen similar threats in the past years emerging from time to time, including “License has Expired +1-888-303-5121,” “Windows Security Alert! 1-888-220-3607,” and “Fake Activation Support 1-877-784-7461.” Our malware researchers at anti-spyware-101.com say that these infections are typical technical support scams that try to fool unsuspecting computer users with a fake alert to call a given customer support phone number. However, calling this number could land you in the center of a scam in which you could lose hundreds of your hard-earned dollars if you are not careful. We recommend that you remove Fake Windows Defender Prevented Malicious Software Tech Support the moment you notice its presence. Read more »

Stg-234i23r9-sph.com

Stg-234i23r9-sph.com

Stg-234i23r9-sph.com is a suspicious search tool that was created by Bontio Media. According to Anti-Spyware-101.com malware researchers, the same company is responsible for Startpage-home.com, Search-startpage.com, Homepage-web.com, and other browser hijackers, which, by the way, are identical to the one we are discussing in this report. It is not exactly clear why Bontio has created so many versions of what appears to be the same tool, but our guess is that the hijackers work as advertising platforms that can help make money. Obviously, the more platforms are used to promote sponsored content, the more money can be made. In general, it does not look like the suspicious search tool was created to assist you. In fact, we do not classify it as a beneficial tool at all, and it is our recommendation for you to remove Stg-234i23r9-sph.com from your web browsers. If you continue reading this report, you will learn all about this suspicious search provider and its elimination. Read more »

You should do everything you can to remove all the potential threats from your computer, and it goes without saying that this search engine should be at the top of your “to remove” list. Read more »
