Onion3Cry Ransomware

If a window entitled “onion3 crypt” has popped up on your screen, there is no doubt that a malicious infection called Onion3Cry Ransomware has slithered in. If this malicious infection successfully invades an operating system, it quickly encrypts files that represent photos, documents, and other text and media files. Just like most ransomware threats, this one encrypts files that are considered personal. If these files are backed up externally or online, you do not need to stress about the files that were corrupted on your PC. But if backups do not exist, the malicious ransomware might push you into communicating with cyber criminals and paying a huge ransom for a tool that probably does not even exist. Needless to say, Anti-Spyware-101.com research team does not recommend wasting your money. Does that mean that the files corrupted on your PC are lost for good? While there is a small chance that a free decryptor will become available in the future, it is most likely that your files are lost. In either case, you must delete Onion3Cry Ransomware, and that is what we focus on in this report. Read more »

Finding Exolock Ransomware on your system could mean losing all your important files as this malicious program can slither onto your system without your knowledge and encrypt all your files behind your back. This is done with the intention to extort money from you for the decryption of your files, which, by the way, very rarely happens actually. Our malware experts at anti-spyware-101.com say that this current version that emerged only a month ago, in September, 2017, may only partially work. This means that it could crash upon finishing the encryption; therefore, you may not even see the ransom note screen and may not have a clue as to what has just happened. You should know that being hit by such a dangerous infection can only be cured by having a backup of your files somewhere safe or if malware hunters manage to come up with a free tool to recover your files. Well, right now we do not have knowledge of such a free tool; therefore, it is quite likely that you will lose all your files to this devastating attack. We advise you to remove Exolock Ransomware right away so that you can start with a clean system. Read more »

If the settings of your web browsers on your device with the Android OS or iOS have been altered and now you see Search.ibrowser.io every time you open your web browser, it is very likely that they have all been hijacked. That is, their settings have been changed without your knowledge/permission. Search.ibrowser.io should be set as your new homepage only, but do not be very surprised if you discover it in the place of your default search tool too. Since this search provider is definitely not one of those legitimate search engines, do not even think about keeping it set on browsers. Security specialists say that it is only a question of time when problems arise if you use Search.ibrowser.io to perform web searches – it might expose users to potential threats in no time, so our recommendation for you would be to get rid of it as soon as possible. The appearance of this dubious search tool on browsers is usually linked to the installation of a malicious app, so its removal will not be an easy task for sure. Read more »

Bud Ransomware

When your computer gets infected by ransomware, most of the time you are provided with a ransom note in a program window or a .txt or .html file. The Bud ransomware displays a ransom in a program window in which the text is being typed as if someone was typing it in real time. In the ransom warning, the infection informs the victim that pictures and other valuable files have been encrypted and provides instructions how to regain access to the locked data. Our advice is that you disregard the threatening requirements and take action to remove the Bud ransomware. Little cases are known when attackers indeed provide victims with decryption keys or tools. There are only several cases registered when cyber criminals publish the decryption keys of ransomware threats that are about to be abandoned. Even though the ransom warning says that you will surely regain access to your lost data, we strongly advise you against paying up. Read more »

Search.browsersearch.net

At first sight, Search.browsersearch.net looks like a completely normal search engine because it shows a search field, and it seemingly provides you with the option to browse the web using Google Search and Bing Search tools. Unfortunately, it seems that this tool simply hides behind well-known search providers to conceal its true nature, which is to show sponsored links. There is nothing wrong with sponsored links – ignoring the fact that they can be extremely annoying – unless the parties standing behind them are malicious. Unfortunately, Anti-Spyware-101.com research ream cannot guarantee that the parties working with AirFind Corp. (the developer of the search engine) are trustworthy. Do we recommend using this search tool? Of course, we do not. On the contrary, we believe that it is a browser hijacker that deserves immediate removal. Hopefully, you do not need to erase any other threats, and you can delete Search.browsersearch.net using the instructions below. If other infections exist, you might need to take a different route.

Mobisearch.co

Mobisearch.co, as its name suggests, is a search engine that is mainly developed for mobile phones; however, it has caught our malware experts' attention since it may not be as innocent as it looks at first sight. In fact, this search engine is an identical clone of Search.myportal.us and Websrch.net, which have also emerged recently on the web. Since the developer company, Airfind Corp, claims to be a content monetizer, you can imagine that this search engine was not designed with the goal of providing you the best and most relevant search results in the quickest possible way, but, instead, the main purpose is to serve advertisers and other mobile-related companies to provide promotional surface. This is why any third-party content coming from this search engine might be risky to click on. By using this search engine, you could be exposed to questionable third-party advertisements and modified search results that can pose a threat to your virtual security. This is why we recommend that you remove Mobisearch.co from your computer or mobile device as soon as possible. Read more »

Search.myportal.us is a new search engine page you cannot trust and one that is not even new in the sense that our malware experts at anti-spyware-101.com have already tested its identical twin called Websrch.net. This potential threat source has been labeled as a browser hijacker because it can change certain browser settings to make sure you get exposed to its content. However, this hijacker may present to you potentially unreliable third-party content through modified search results. Engaging with such content is always risky and can result in dropping further infections onto your system or getting redirected to fake websites operated by cyber criminals where you could be scammed and lose money from your bank account. All in all, we recommend that you remove Search.myportal.us as soon as possible because you could only make things worse if you kept this search engine in your browsers. Please carry on reading our article to learn more about this threat and how you may be able to avoid similar ones in the future. Read more »
