Pesonal-spage.com

Pesonal-spage.com is a browser hijacker that affects Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox browsers. In order to open this website, it hijacks the shortcuts of browsers, for example, you might see such a path in the Target line of your browser shortcut: %Homedrive%:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Browsers\exe.xoferif.bat. Even though you will probably not notice this modification, you will definitely see that Pesonal-spage.com is opened for you every time you launch your browser. Pesonal-spage.com is not a reliable search engine even though it does not look bad at all. It contains a search box and buttons that should help users to access popular websites, such as YouTube, Facebook, CNN, Google, Last.fm, Reddit, and others with the click of a mouse button. In other words, if we took into account only the appearance of this search tool, we would say that it is trustworthy because it does not differ much from other search tools. Of course, the appearance might be very misleading, as it is in the case of Pesonal-spage.com. Read more »

Hades Locker Ransomware

You had better pray not to find Hades Locker Ransomware on your system because this malware threat can take most of your files hostage, which you may never see again. This ransomware can sneak onto your system without your knowledge and encrypt hundreds of file extensions in a matter of a minute or less. There is only one way for you to be able to recover your files if you pay the ransom fee. Another likely option is, of course, that you copy your backed up files back from a portable drive, if you have any. We do not usually recommend paying criminals because there is no guarantee that you will get anything for your money. Since we are talking about several hundreds of US dollars, you should think twice. Our malware specialists at anti-spyware-101.com say that there is no way to recover the encrypted files with a free tool because no such program exists yet. We suggest that you act ASAP and remove Hades Locker Ransomware from your Windows operating system. Read more »

Aerojet

Aerojet is a useless and potentially harmful advertising program that can crawl onto your system without your knowledge or permission. This is possible when you install a malicious freeware bundle that contains a number of malware threats. This questionable program does not necessarily mean direct and major threat to your files or your operating system; however, you cannot rule it out as a potential risk source either. In fact, our malware researchers have categorized this software as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) that shows adware and hijacker features. This simply means that you may be flooded with annoying and potentially unsafe third-party advertisements as well as certain browser settings also may be changed. We have found that this PUP only affects your Google Chrome browser but since it most likely entered your system along with malware infections, you should definitely not take this invasion too lightly. We advise you to remove Aerojet and every other potentially risky program as well. Read more »

Nuke Ransomware

The devious Nuke Ransomware strikes at the most vulnerable spot within your operating system: Your personal files. This threat does not encrypt some files sparing others. Instead, it encrypts every single file that it was programmed to encrypt. Though it ignores Windows system files and, it seems, executable files, it can easily corrupt your archives, media content, videos, pictures, documents, and other sensitive files. Why are they considered sensitive? That is because they cannot be replaced, unless you have them backed up on online storage systems or external drives. Although many users choose to back up their files, there are still plenty of users who do not, and these are the users who are most vulnerable. If you are one of these users, you are not in luck. Please continue reading to learn more about the encryption of your personal files and the removal of Nuke Ransomware. Keep in mind that deleting this ransomware is very important, and you should get to it as soon as possible. Read more »

Search.yourinstantfileconverter.com

Search.yourinstantfileconverter.com may show up in your Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox browsers when a browser hijacker manages to slip through your system security or your own “fingers.” Our malware specialists at anti-spyware-101.com say that this new malware threat is in essence identical to a recently emerged browser hijacker called Search.yourinstantrecipes.com; the only difference between the two being the quick links offered. This hijacker, true to its name, provides you with quick access to file converting tools as well as other useful-looking links, including a potentially harmful local weather page. This infection may pose a threat to your computer through the third-party contents it may present to you. Therefore, we believe that you should remove Search.yourinstantfileconverter.com as soon as possible. However, this threat may not even be the only one on your system.

EasyWeatherAlert Toolbar

EasyWeatherAlert Toolbar is a new product of Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. This piece of software should enable users to “access local and national weather forecasts via trusted weather services.” You will really find a bar with quick access buttons at the top of your homepage and the New Tab page; however, you should know that you do not necessarily need to have this browser plugin installed on your computer if you wish to access those websites. Even though it might really seem that EasyWeatherAlert Toolbar is a useful application, many users still find it quite annoying when they notice that hp.myway.com (a search engine used by this toolbar) has been set in the place of their homepages and the New Tab URLs on all the browsers (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox). To undo the changes EasyWeatherAlert Toolbar has applied, you have to remove this application from your computer fully. In fact, you should get rid of it not only to remove hp.myway.com, but also to avoid problems EasyWeatherAlert Toolbar might cause. We will elaborate on that in the following paragraphs of this report. Read more »
