APT Ransomware

APT Ransomware

We want to warn you that a new ransomware infection called APT Ransomware has been detected by our specialists recently. APT Ransomware is a malicious application that has been developed to encrypt personal files and then demand a ransom. Our specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com encountered several different ransomware infections that only pretend to encrypt files stored on the computer during all these years; however, it is evident that APT Ransomware is not one of them. This ransomware infection is based on the Hidden Tear open-source ransomware project, so if it ever successfully infiltrates your computer, you will find out quickly that it is impossible to open any of the files you have on your system. Ransomware infections do not lock users’ personal files just for fun. They are all developed for the same purpose – to extort money from users. To be frank, it is not wise at all to transfer money to cyber criminals because you might not get the promised decryption tool in return. Therefore, our specialists highly recommend deleting APT Ransomware instead of paying money to cyber crooks. Read this article to get more knowledge regarding the removal of this ransomware.

WeatherTab by ClientConnect

Did you expect to have access to an accurate weather forecast by downloading WeatherTab by ClientConnect? This Google Chrome extension, currently, does not have an official website – because ultimateweather.info is down – but it can be downloaded from the Chrome web store. This download source informs that the extension can provide you with access to your favorite sites. As you can see, the name of the add-on is misleading because it does not produce information about weather. On top of that, it does not actually offer beneficial services. Its only feature is the search tool that you can use to find the sites you are interested in. Needless to say, this extension does not offer exclusive services, and, in reality, there is no point in installing it. After all, it works just like a regular search engine; except for the part that it is also unpredictable and unreliable. Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers strongly advise deleting WeatherTab by ClientConnect, but you can make your own decision after reading this report. Read more »

Cloud System Care

Cloud System Care seems to be a typical program that pretends to be an optimizer that can boost up your computer. You should know that most of these optimizers do no substantial changes to your system. Most of them simply clear the temporary files and some unused or empty registry keys. This will not really make your computer soar. Our malware researchers at anti-spyware-101.com decided to label this infection as a PUP, i.e., a potentially unwanted program. This means that this application does not mean direct or serious danger to your computer or your files, but there are still certain traits that make this PUP seem unreliable. Since this software may enter your computer along with malicious software installers, there is a chance that your system is endangered on several fronts. We do not advise you to sit around and wait till something worse happens or your system stops functioning. This is why we suggest that you remove Cloud System Care from your computer. If you want to find out more about this PUP and the potential risks it may hold for you, please read our full article. Read more »
