Search.joygame.com
Search.joygame.com is a questionable Turkish search engine that can show up in your browsers after you install some software from the joygame.com website that promotes web browser and mobile games. The presence of this search engine as your home page in your browsers suggests that a browser hijacker has landed on your computer. This hijacker is capable of changing certain browser settings; in this case, it only seems to be the home page settings. Most users have reported this hijacker to appear in Google Chrome and Internet Explorer, but it is also possible that it affects Mozilla Firefox as well. According to our malware researchers at Anti-Spyware-101.com, not all of the joygame installers offer the home page change, so it might take place without your knowledge, too. Read more »

LeChiffre Ransomware
LeChiffre Ransomware is a recently discovered ransomware-type Trojan that has the ability to encrypt your personal files and obtain full control of your computer. It should automatically remove itself after encrypting your files, but the person who is in control of it might decide to leave it. Thus, you should delete its executable if it were to remain after the encryption was completed. The goal here is to extort money from you by offering a decryption key that you can only get after paying the ransom. This ransomware uses the most robust encryption algorithm that is impossible to crack using third-party software. However, we urge you not to pay the ransom as these hackers will only continue to make money of infecting users with ransomware. Read more »
iGive Button
If you have heard about donating money to charities while shopping online, iGive Button could be a potential browser extension that can help you with that. This application claims that you can use its button in over 1700 online stores and donate 3% of your spending on the average to a charity of your choice. While it all may sound awesome today in a world full of helping hands, you should know that our malware specialists at Anti-Spyware-101.com have categorized this as an adware program. The reason is simple: This application is capable of showing potentially harmful third-party advertisements on your screen. These can be pop-ups, coupons, and best offers. However, clicking on these may hold unexpected redirections to unreliable websites. It is also possible that this malware shows up on your computer along with other malicious software installers, which may also expose you to unwanted and unsafe third-party web content. That is why we think that you should delete iGive Button as soon as you notice its presence on your computer. Read more »

Search.myradioxp.com
Search.myradioxp.com is not a regular browser hijacker. This one is unlikely to corrupt your browsers without your permission. However, this search tool can change your browsers’ settings when you install software associated with it. Although this tool has an interface of a regular search engine, it certainly does not act like one. If you try using it as a regular search tool, you will find yourself redirected to a third-party page, such as search.yahoo.com. Unfortunately, some users ignore this “flaw” thinking that it is useless because of the links it provides. CNN, Salem Radio, Spotify, and Soundcloud are amongst the services that this strange hijacker provides links to. Do you enjoy having access to all of these services from one spot? Well you can easily attach links to them to your browser’s bar or a legitimate toolbar. You do not need some unreliable hijacker for it.
