Virus and Spyware Removal Guides, uninstall instructions
What is dozki[.]pro?
dozki[.]pro is virtually identical to roboverify[.]xyz, nwithough[.]top, sbecome[.]online and many other web pages. All promote (open) other bogus pages or load dubious content. Users do not often visit these sites intentionally.
Commonly, these bogus web pages are promoted via potentially unwanted applications (PUAs), which most users download and install inadvertently.
What is Mpr ransomware?
Mpr is malware that belongs to the family of ransomware called Dharma. It encrypts files and renames them by adding the victim's ID, meterpreter@null.net email address, and appending the ".mpr" extension.
For example, "1.jpg" is renamed to "1.jpg.id-C279F237.[meterpreter@null.net].mpr", "2.jpg" to "2.jpg.id-C279F237.[meterpreter@null.net].mpr", and so on. Mpr also displays a pop-up window and creates the "FILES ENCRYPTED.txt" file (containing the ransom message).
What is Decent web?
Decent web is rogue software, promoting tailsearch.com (a fake search engine). Programs that operate in this manner are classified as browser hijackers, since they typically promote bogus search engines by making modifications to browser settings. In fact, Decent web does not actually modify browsers (see below).
In addition, this browser hijacker monitors users' browsing habits. Due to the dubious methods used to proliferate browser hijackers, they are also classified as Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs).
What is TotalSearchFunction?
Typically, users do not install or download apps like TotalSearchFunction intentionally. This particular app is distributed via a deceptive installer (a fake installer for Adobe Flash Player). Therefore, TotalSearchFunction is categorized as potentially unwanted application (PUA).
This app serves advertisements and modifies browser settings, thereby functioning as adware and a browser hijacker. It is likely that it also collects browsing data and other information.
What is npolicito[.]online?
npolicito[.]online is a rogue site, sharing similarities with roboverify.xyz, sbecome.online, emindeed.top and many others. Once this web page is visited, it presents users with dubious content and/or redirects them to other untrustworthy or possibly malicious websites.
Visitors to these rogue pages rarely enter them intentionally - most are redirected to them by intrusive advertisements or by Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs). This software does not need explicit permission to be installed onto systems, and thus users may be unaware of its presence.
PUAs operate by causing redirects, running intrusive advertisement campaigns and collecting browsing-related information.
What is DailySportSearch?
DailySportSearch is dubious software designed to modify browser settings to promote dailysportsearch.com (a bogus search engine). Due to this, it is classified as a browser hijacker.
Furthermore, DailySportSearch monitors users' browsing habits, which is typical of this software type. Since most users download/install browser hijackers unintentionally, they are also classified as Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs).
What is NetGameSearch?
NetGameSearch changes certain browser settings to netgamesearch.com. More precisely, it opens netgamesearch.com when users open a browser, new tab, or enter search queries into the URL bar. This app also collects browsing-related data.
In most cases, users download and install browser hijackers inadvertently and, therefore, NetGameSearch is categorized as a potentially unwanted application (PUA).
What is PDFSearchHQ?
PDFSearchHQ is rogue software categorized as a browser hijacker. Following successful infiltration, it makes modifications to browser settings to promote pdfsearchhq.com (a bogus search engine). Additionally, PDFSearchHQ gathers browsing-related information.
Since most users download/install browser hijackers unintentionally, they are also classified as Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs).
What is Mac Security?
As its name suggests, Mac Security is supposedly an antivirus application and has similar appearance to legitimate products. In fact, Mac Security does not detect any real threats or remove them. On the contrary, it opens potentially malicious websites. Therefore, this app should not be trusted, downloaded, or installed.
It is likely that this app is distributed using dubious methods, and some users might install it inadvertently. Therefore, Mac Security is categorized as a potentially unwanted application (PUA).
What is Disk Clean Pro?
Disk Clean Pro is advertised as a highly-rated app that removes junk files and data (cleans redundant files) and keeps important files safe, however, this app is categorized as a potentially unwanted application (PUA).
PUAs are classified in this way, since many users download and install them inadvertently when they are distributed using dubious methods.
