Ranscam Ransomware

On the surface, Ranscam Ransomware looks like your usual ransomware program that encrypts files and then wants your money. However, this one is slightly different from the applications we now (unfortunately) encounter on daily basis. This program does not encrypt your files; it just wants you to believe so.

Nevertheless, this program is still a dangerous infection that can literally change your system’s landscape, so now is no time to heave a sigh of relief. You have to remove Ranscam Ransomware at once because the longer this program remains on your system, the more damage it can cause. And you certainly would not want to deal with the aftermath.

Search2.searchlson.com

You might think that there is nothing wrong with Search2.searchlson.com, but you would be mistaken because it is not a search engine, but a browser hijacker. Therefore, you should remove it from your computer as soon as the opportunity arises. Our security analysts say that it comes from a known malware developer that uses dishonest and illicit distribution methods to get its browser hijackers on your computer. When it is inserted into a computer, it replaces the web browser’s homepage, new tab page and search provider.

Search.yourrecipesnow.com

Easy-to-make recipes should become easily accessible with the help of Search.yourrecipesnow.com, but, in reality, you should not rely on this suspicious piece of software for anything. Sure, it does provide easy-access links to foodnetwork.com, simplyrecipes.com, epicurious.com, and yummly.com websites, but that is all that it is useful for, and you can easily attach links to these sites to your bookmarks bar. Most users acquire this suspicious search tool along with the Your Recipes Now by SaferBrowser extension that supposedly can provide you with thousands of recipes from the New Tab. The extension is not beneficial at all because its only purpose is to introduce you to the search provider that links to the aforementioned websites. It is possible that the developer of this software earns a commission for boosting traffic to these websites, but that is not why we advise removing Search.yourrecipesnow.com from your web browsers.

Yayzap

Yayzap is an application that is closely associated with the website yayzap.com, which is known to be “an exciting gaming portal that offers tons of free games.” Users who wish to play games free of charge on this website, most probably, have to install the Yayzap application because the information at yayzap.com says that users will be granted access to free games in exchange for an agreement to install this piece of software only. If a user does that, he/she also agrees to see advertisements because Yayzap is known to be an ad-supported program. We cannot say that advertising-supported applications are extremely dangerous; however, it is known that they might put computers in danger. Therefore, we suggest that you remove adware from your computer and then start playing online games on a different website that does not require installing some kind of application. We will talk about the dangers Yayzap might pose to your computer in this report. Also, specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com will provide all the important information regarding the removal of this software for you. Read more »
