Koti Ransomware

Have you been tricked into letting Koti Ransomware into your Windows operating system? You might not even remember taking certain actions that could have led to the entrance of this malware.

Perhaps you remember downloading freeware from a suspicious website, and other files or programs were attached to it? Malicious programs have many ways to invade operating systems, and we cannot know which one was used to invade yours. Needless to say, if your system was infected by malware, you need to remove it, regardless of the damage it might have caused. Unfortunately, in the case of this ransomware, your personal files are the ones that get damaged. The threat encrypts them, which means that you cannot read them normally. Your first instinct might be to delete Koti Ransomware, and while eliminating this malware is crucial, your files cannot be saved by doing that. Read more »

Tidenous.com

Tidenous.com

Tidenous.com is an unreliable website that, according to our researchers, was built to promote suspicious applications. At the time of research, it was promoting a known PUP (potentially unwanted program) called “OneSafe PC Cleaner,” whose removal guide we created back in 2015. However, the download link that was placed on the website did not actually route to the installer of the PUP. It seems that the site is either broken or not yet fully built. Unfortunately, with slight modifications, the creator of this website could easily promote any PUP or malicious infection, and we certainly do not believe that OneSafe PC Cleaner is the only tool that it might push. Obviously, if you have been routed to this website and if you have downloaded anything promoted on it, we suggest scanning your system. Employ a trusted malware scanner, and it will help you figure out if you need to delete Tidenous.com-related threats. Once you scan the system, read this report in full to understand how this scam works. Read more »

SLICKSHOES

More and more frequently governments and companies need to spend money on extensive malware research and cybersecurity because the number of threats targeted at them keep growing. The trojan we are discussing in this report is part of the Hidden Cobra group, and the hackers behind it have been actively performing attacks with the help of numerous infections, including Volgmer. Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers do not believe that this malware would affect regular Windows users who are using their computers at home, for example, but it is always better to be safe than sorry. This is why we have created this guide. Continue reading to learn more about the infection, and if you discover that you need to delete SLICKSHOES, check out the removal guide below. Read more »

C4H Ransomware

C4H Ransomware

Do you believe that C4H Ransomware has invaded your Windows operating system and corrupted your personal files? That is very easy to figure out because once this infection encrypts files, it attaches the “.C4H” extension to their names. This extension is added as a mere marker, and even if you delete it from the files’ names, they will not be restored. Some victims might rush to remove C4H Ransomware to restore their files, and while this threat must be eliminated from the infected systems, the files cannot be recovered in that way. In fact, we do not know if your files can be recovered at all. Perhaps you can find and employ a legitimate third-party decryptor, but you certainly do not want to trust cybercriminals to help you. They promote their own decryptor in return for money, but they are unlikely to give you anything once you send the payment. Needless to say, this is a tricky situation, but we hope that we will be able to help you untangle the mess. Read more »

Sqpc Ransomware

Sqpc Ransomware

Sqpc Ransomware does not care about you and your files, and that is why it slithers into your Windows operating system and encrypts every single personal file that exists. It does not touch system files, but that is done only to ensure that the system continues running normally. After all, the infection needs a functional system to make its demands. After your personal files are encrypted, the threat drops a file, via which you are informed that a ransom of $490 must be paid in return for a decryptor. Here at Anti-Spyware-101.com, we hope that you have not wasted your savings yet. We also hope that you still can recover your files, or at least replace the most important ones. A tool named ‘STOP Decryptor’ was presented by malware researchers, and although it should decrypt all files encrypted with an offline key, it cannot guarantee full recovery of all files. But you might be able to use backups as replacements. First, however, you need to remove Sqpc Ransomware. Read more »

If you do, you might figure out the source of the infection. Hopefully, you will become more cautious in the future. Right now, however, you might need to delete Trix Ransomware from your Windows operating system. If you are worried about the removal of the threat and the decryption of files, we are ready to help you. Read more »
