Gamestabsearch.com

Gamestabsearch.com is a search engine that you will see set in the place of your default search engine. Also, it will be opened for you if you open the New Tab page. You see it not without a reason. If this search engine appears to you every time you open your Google Chrome browser, there is no doubt that there is the Games extension installed on your PC. It should enable users to access all kinds of games and let them play with just one click. This piece of software might seem to be quite useful at first glance; however, it seems that only some users download it willingly from the Chrome Web Store (chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/games/npcphogbhjnabbfopangpfiooacedgpg?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher-info-dialog) or its official website lp.mygamestab.com. Users who are sure that they have not downloaded this software themselves have probably allowed it to enter their systems somehow differently, for example, specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com say that it might be enough to click on a pop-up advertisement to let it enter the computer. Of course, this is not the only way the Games extension is distributed. You will find out more about this questionable extension if you read the article. Read more »

Privacy Dr

Did you install Privacy Dr hoping it would ensure protection? Unfortunately, it does not seem like this program could help you out because its services are not as great as you might have expected them to be. Sure, this program can clean temp files, fix registry errors, and optimize your PC, but it is not exceptionally useful or beneficial. What is more, most users download this program thinking that it offers free services, when, in reality, you might need to pay up to 59 USD. This price represents the so-called “Best Protection Package” that allegedly can enhance PC performance and enable full-time privacy protection. Well, do you think you can trust a protection tool that can open up security backdoors by displaying advertisements/promotional content? Things do not add up here, and that is why we have decided to analyze this program. We have come to a conclusion that deleting Privacy Dr is a good idea, but you should make your own conclusions after reading this report. Read more »

Melme@india.com Ransomware

Melme@india.com Ransomware is a new dangerous threat that has hit the web only recently; however, it does not mean that this infection does not have roots. As a matter of fact, just like another recently emerged ransomware program called Age_empires@india.com Ransomware, this threat is also based on the well-known CrySIS Ransomware engine. If this ransomware manages to slip onto your computer, there is a good chance that you will lose access to most of your files in this vicious attack as they get encrypted with a virtually impossible-to-crack algorithm. Your only chance to use your files again may seem like to be to contact the criminals behind this attack and pay them the ransom fee that is demanded. But we would advise you against it because there is no guarantee that you will get anything in return. Of course, you should also know that you do not have any other chance to recover your files since there is no free tool at present that could decipher them. Still, we believe that the most important thing is that you remove Melme@india.com Ransomware the moment you notice its vicious work on your computer. Read more »

Zepto Ransomware

Zepto Ransomware is an infection you have to protect your operating system against. In most cases, the victims of this malicious ransomware let it in via spam email attachments, and its entrance is considered silent. If you open a corrupted ZIP archive file, the ransomware is executed using javascript, but if this infection is introduced to you as a .docm file, it will be executed using MS Word macros. Once executed, this infection will immediately start encrypting your personal files, and, after that, it will inform you that you need to pay a ransom to get the files back. Unfortunately, this infection is extremely powerful, and, at this moment, a decryptor capable of deciphering its encryption algorithm does not exist. Hopefully, you are reading this before facing the infection, and you have time to take the necessary security measures. We advise installing up-to-date security software ASAP. If the ransomware has attacked you already, there are a few things to discuss, including the removal of Zepto Ransomware. Read more »

CornerSunshine

CornerSunshine, also known as Corner SunShine, is a suspicious gadget that supposedly can provide you with the latest weather forecast. Although some find this program beneficial, our Anti-Spyware-101.com research team advises deleting it as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, most users are not concerned about this because they do not even realize that personal information can be collected. Whether or not this is a surprise to you, you should keep reading this report to learn everything you need to know, including the removal of CornerSunshine. Read more »
