The Roboto Condensed Font Was Not Found Scam
Indiasearch-results.com
Indiasearch-results.com, according to Anti-Spyware-101.com research, is a browser hijacker that could potentially corrupt such browsers as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Internet Explorer. The interface of this hijacker might remind you of a regular search engine, but it does not function like one; at least, not at this moment. Right now, if you enter keywords into the provided search engine, you are routed to a page that shows this message: “We apologize for the inconvenience, but we weren't able to find results for this query.” It does not matter which keywords you enter; the search tool simply does not work. Of course, if it did, we would not recommend trusting it anyway. So, whether you installed this hijacker yourself or it corrupted your browser without your permission, we recommend deleting it without hesitation.

Startme.today
Startme.today is a new search engine that can show up in your browsers and remain unnoticed because it resembles the default browser homepage and new tab page so much, you may not see any difference at all. Unfortunately, this can be misused by schemers to fool unsuspecting users. Our malware specialists at anti-spyware-101.com say that this search engine is only one of several that have emerged recently, including Startme.online. These are all identical to each other.

Rargenie Adware
Allegedly, Rargenie Adware is a free archiver for Mac OS X.

ArmaLocky Ransomware
ArmaLocky Ransomware is another crypto-threat that was first detected as MlsoSvc.exe by specialists working in the cyber security field at the beginning of September, 2017. At that time, it was not a prevalent threat yet. It was not prevalent at the time of writing either, but we cannot promise that this will not change soon, so, theoretically, anyone can encounter ArmaLocky Ransomware. If you are reading this article not out of curiosity, but because you have detected this ransomware infection on your computer, we want that you know that you cannot do much to get these encrypted files back. Yes, you can try purchasing the private key and decryption software from cyber criminals, but there are still no guarantees that you could decrypt your data, so do not even bother sending money to the owner of this threat. What we recommend doing instead is going to delete that ransomware infection so that it could not encrypt more personal files. ArmaLocky Ransomware might create its entry in the Run registry key, specialists at anti-spyware-101.com say, but it is still not one of those ransomware infections that drop a bunch of files, block system utilities, or lock the screen completely, so its removal should not be anything very complicated.

Startme.online
Startme.online is not a trustworthy search provider, so if you ever find it set as your new homepage, search engine, or a New Tab page, you should remove it from your browsers without consideration. We cannot say that you can keep it also if you have set this search tool on your browsers willingly because it is definitely not one of those fully trustworthy search providers. Specialists at anti-spyware-101.com say that Startme.online is the most prevalent in India and the United Kingdom, but the truth is that you might discover it set on your browsers no matter where you live. It looks harmless, we have to admit, and it is not malicious for sure; however, replacing it with a more trustworthy search provider would be a smart step, especially if you have nothing to do with its appearance on your browsers. That is, you have not set it on your browsers voluntarily. Fortunately, you do not need to be experienced in malware removal to delete Startme.online from browsers. It should be enough to replace it with a new URL. If it happens that you see it in the same place after closing your web browser and opening it again even though you have undone the undesirable modifications applied, it is very likely that Startme.online has modified the shortcuts of your browsers too so that it could not be removed easily. In such a case, the first thing you have to do is to fix these modified shortcuts. Read more »
Com.google.provision
If you think you are safe against malware just because you are using an Android device, you are very wrong. Com.google.provision is one of the threats that could slither into your phone or a tablet without your notice. It is believed that this infection is spread using layering attacks, when a malicious threat is hidden behind a bogus window or image that tricks you into tapping it. If you do, you let in the threat without even realizing it. It is also possible that the infection could be concealed as a harmless application. Malicious applications are usually spread via unreliable sources, but that does not mean that you are safe when using Google Play as well. Whenever you install apps, we suggest using Google Play, but you have to be careful. Check the reviews and the download count to see if or not the app is well-liked and trustworthy. Unfortunately, if the infection is in, it can do bad things. Continue reading to learn why exactly you need to delete Com.google.provision from your Android device. Read more »
Google Chrome Warning Alert Scam
The appearance of a Google Chrome Warning Alert on users’ screens usually indicates that they have encountered Google Chrome Warning Alert Scam, specialists at anti-spyware-101.com say. We can assure you that its appearance does not show that “pornographic malware” is inside your computer because the Google Chrome Warning Alert is nothing more than a scam that seeks to convince users that harmful software has been detected on their PCs and, in consequence, they must contact the support as soon as possible. Fake alerts are usually shown to users when they visit untrustworthy domains containing these alerts. They can be redirected to them against their will from another page, or they might see all these warnings because of the presence of malware on their systems. Specifically speaking, malicious applications can redirect periodically to untrustworthy domains or show fake warnings themselves. According to our malware researchers, more people encounter Google Chrome Warning Alert Scam because their PCs get infected with malicious software. If you cannot stop the flow of fake alerts by closing your web browser and making sure it does not open previously visited pages, it means that you are one of those users whose PCs are infected with malicious software.
