Take note that there might be more undesirable software on your PC.

Searchemyn.com can show up in your browsers after infecting your system with a browser hijacker. Our malware researchers at anti-spyware-101.com say that this hijacker does not seem to be a well-spread and popular malware infection yet, but this can quickly change. This promoted search engine is indeed a customized Google search engine, which could be quite misleading in fact. You may not even notice that this browser hijacker has invaded your browsers because it looks totally similar to Google. However, the reliability of this search engine is quite questionable; therefore, we do not advice you to engage with it in any way. As a matter of fact, we believe that your system security just became more vulnerable the moment you let this infection on board. We suggest that you remove Searchemyn.com as soon as you can because it could be the source of further infections and online scams even if indirectly so. Please read our whole article if you want to learn about the possible risks and what you can do to defend your system from similar threats. Read more »

Web-starter.biz is not a trustworthy search provider, and you should realize that the moment you face it. The interface of this search tool does not look strange or unusual; however, it does not provide links to the Privacy Policy, EULA, and other legal statements that we are used to seeing. Although some users might not notice this at all, and others might think nothing of it, Anti-Spyware-101.com malware research team warns that this is a very important detail. If you cannot review the policies supporting a certain service, you cannot trust this service altogether. Actually, the fact that this information is not provided to users suggests that maybe its creators are hiding something, and, of course, that is not good. The experts in our research team agree that removing Web-starter.biz is the right move, but you should continue reading to make your own decision about whether or not you should delete it from your browsers.

Do not trust any claims that a program entitled CounterFlix is a useful DNS tool that should be your first choice if you wish to change your geographical IP location. In reality, such statements on its official website are nothing more than a misleading marketing technique used by developers of this program to lure unsuspecting Internet users into obtaining their tool without fully understating its functionality. After a detailed research, our team has eventually classified this piece of software as yet another adware, which is capable of making your online experience a bothersome and frustrating one, to put it mildly. On top of such invasive functionality, this ad-supported program could prove to be much more dangerous than you might think at first since it could turn out to be the primary reason your operating system might be exposed to potentially harmful web content. If you ever find CounterFlix fully active on your PC, do not hesitate and follow comprehensive instructions below to get rid of it in just a few simple steps. Read more »
APT Ransomware

We want to warn you that a new ransomware infection called APT Ransomware has been detected by our specialists recently. APT Ransomware is a malicious application that has been developed to encrypt personal files and then demand a ransom. Our specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com encountered several different ransomware infections that only pretend to encrypt files stored on the computer during all these years; however, it is evident that APT Ransomware is not one of them. This ransomware infection is based on the Hidden Tear open-source ransomware project, so if it ever successfully infiltrates your computer, you will find out quickly that it is impossible to open any of the files you have on your system. Ransomware infections do not lock users’ personal files just for fun. They are all developed for the same purpose – to extort money from users. To be frank, it is not wise at all to transfer money to cyber criminals because you might not get the promised decryption tool in return. Therefore, our specialists highly recommend deleting APT Ransomware instead of paying money to cyber crooks. Read this article to get more knowledge regarding the removal of this ransomware.

Loadstart.net is a questionable search page that can emerge in your browsers after a browser hijacker finds its way to your system. The appearance of this authentic-looking search engine could put your virtual security at risk, according to our malware specialists at anti-spyware-101.com. Unfortunately, this threat can show up in all three of your browsers, including Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome. Our tests show that this browser hijacker alters your Target lines, which is an intrusive and covert technique schemers tend to use when they want their infections to keep appearing even after users try to remove them from their browsers. Since this hijacker can introduce you to potentially unreliable third-party web content through the contents it may display, you should not wait till you infect your computer with more malicious programs or you become a victim of an online scam; you should remove Loadstart.net now. For the details and potential risks regarding this browser hijacker, please continue reading our report. Read more »

Did you expect to have access to an accurate weather forecast by downloading WeatherTab by ClientConnect? This Google Chrome extension, currently, does not have an official website – because ultimateweather.info is down – but it can be downloaded from the Chrome web store. This download source informs that the extension can provide you with access to your favorite sites. As you can see, the name of the add-on is misleading because it does not produce information about weather. On top of that, it does not actually offer beneficial services. Its only feature is the search tool that you can use to find the sites you are interested in. Needless to say, this extension does not offer exclusive services, and, in reality, there is no point in installing it. After all, it works just like a regular search engine; except for the part that it is also unpredictable and unreliable. Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers strongly advise deleting WeatherTab by ClientConnect, but you can make your own decision after reading this report. Read more »

It is possible that you have seen a flow of potentially unreliable third-party ads and websites lately, which could be due to an infection by Fast Search. This useless program is only good for one thing: To make money for its creators. The only function of this questionable software is to promote third parties through advertising. This is why your browsing experience may have changed and became a nightmare with the exposure to potentially harmful coupon offers and commercials (banners and pop-ups). According to our malware researchers at anti-spyware-101.com, this is a Russian adware program that mainly promotes Russian affiliated websites. Leaving this program on board could lead to further malware infections or you could also end up in the center of online scams. If you want to avoid such scenarios, you should not hesitate to act and remove Fast Search from your computer. Read more »
