Games.onesearch.org is a search engine that can be spread by deceptive pop-ups and bundled software installers. The search engine can be set as the default search engine and home page of the Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer browsers if you do not keep the system protected, or pay no attention to the details displayed by the software installer. Due to the fact that the changes are very often made surreptitiously or without an apparent warning, this type of behavior is called browser hijacking, and the very search engine is referred to as a browser hijacker. Our team at Anti-Spyware-101.com recommends taking action immediately once unsolicited changes are noticed in order to prevent unexpected consequences regarding those changes. It is highly advisable to remove Games.onesearch.org, that is, to fix your browser settings so that you do not end up suffering malware attacks and data loss. Read more »

Search.htextfrompc.co
We do not think that there are users out there who set Search.htextfrompc.co willingly on their browsers. It is more likely that this search tool replaces users’ default homepages on their browsers due to the entrance of a browser hijacker.

HappyCrypter Ransomware
Remember the name of a harmful infection that might enter your system one day and encrypt your files – HappyCrypter Ransomware. It was not distributed actively at the time of writing, but everything might change soon, so we cannot guarantee that you are safe. If this infection ever enters your computer, it will definitely try to obtain money from you. It is the reason it encrypts users’ files upon the entrance too. Do not send a cent to cyber criminals even if the ransom note tells you that it is the only way to restore the encrypted data because you might be left without your files and money. To put it differently, there are no guarantees that you could unlock your files even if you pay a ransom, so do not send a cent to the author of HappyCrypter Ransomware, and, instead, erase this ransomware infection from your system completely. We cannot promise that you could unlock those files it has encrypted for free, but there is one way to get those encrypted files back – you could restore them all from a backup. Of course, before you take any action, you must delete the ransomware infection fully so that fixed files would not be locked again. Read more »
