Amazon Rewards Event Scam

Amazon Rewards Event Scam

Amazon Rewards Event Scam appears to users in the form of the fake pop-up. It is quite easy to recognize it because it always comes from the domain http://playing.youphone.club/raffle/en/azwc-c-opt/. If you have already encountered this scam, you should ignore it completely because it is only shown to you to convince you to provide personal information. There are several possible reasons why you have encountered Amazon Rewards Event Scam. First, you see it because you have landed on its domain by mistake. Second, you have been redirected to its domain against your will. Third, it is displayed periodically on your screen due to active malicious software on your computer. It is definitely the latter case if you cannot get rid of the scam by closing the web browser you use. Malware researchers working at anti-spyware-101.com say that, theoretically, any malicious application can be responsible for displaying the scam on users’ screens; however, it often turns out that advertising-supported applications (adware) are the ones responsible for showing fake pop-ups to users. In some cases, untrustworthy applications can be erased through Control Panel, but we cannot promise that it will be that easy to erase bad software from the system in your case too. Read more »

MoneroPay Ransomware

MoneroPay Ransomware

MoneroPay Ransomware, which is also sometimes referred to as SpriteCoin Ransomware, is a nasty malicious application that is distributed as a cryptocurrency miner. Specifically speaking, it is promoted as a tool for mining SpriteCoin, a digital currency that does not even exist. Because of this, it is not at all surprising that some users themselves allow the ransomware infection to enter their systems. If you have also installed MoneroPay Ransomware expecting that it will help you to earn some money, remove it immediately because it does not act as the miner and will never become a useful piece of software. It is only distributed by cyber crooks to extract money from users more easily. If you have already encountered this threat, do not even think about sending money to malicious software developers. You should primarily focus on the MoneroPay Ransomware removal. If you do not erase it from your system, it will continue working on your computer. Restarting the computer is not an effective solution to the problem in this case because it is one of these ransomware infections that create entries in the system registry to be able to start working automatically when the Windows OS launches. It means that you will disable it only by removing all malicious components from the system. We will help you to delete the ransomware infection (you will find more about its removal if you read the last paragraph), but we cannot promise that you could unlock your encrypted personal files because free decryption software does not exist and transferring money to cyber criminals is a nonsense.

Rsa-ni Ransomware

Rsa-ni Ransomware is a malicious computer infection that terrorizes users into spending their money on a key that should “release” their data from its evil hands. For the most part, this program affects servers and networks, and it is not common to find it on individual desktop computers. Thus, it is probably possible to say that Rsa-ni Ransomware is aiming a little bit higher. Nevertheless, even so, it does not make it any different from all the previously released, those infected need to work on removing this program from their systems. In this description, we will discuss the program in greater detail. Read more »

CryptWalker Ransomware

CryptWalker Ransomware

Some ransomware infections only trick victims into thinking that their data is encrypted or that the encrypted files will be deleted permanently. The CryptWalker ransomware is one of those threats that do what is said in the ransom note. If you have this threat on your computer, we encourage you to act immediately to remove the infection. This ransomware infection can delete your files, and the longer you wait, the more files you are going to lose.

The CryptWalker ransomware has the interface of the Jigsaw ransomware but displays different requirements in the so-called ransom warning. The files encrypted by the Jigsaw ransomware can be decrypted by a third-party decryption tool, and, if you choose to try some decryptor to restore your files affected by the CryptWalker threat, note that you do that on your own responsibility.

If your browsers’ settings have been changed and, as a consequence, you see Search.searchws.com set as your new homepage and default search tool on Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome, it is an indication that a browser hijacker has infiltrated your system.
