Virus and Spyware Removal Guides, uninstall instructions
What is richinfo[.]co?
Users do not often visit websites such as richinfo[.]co intentionally - they are opened by browsers that have potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on them. Some more examples of web pages that are similar to richinfo[.]co are veadoles[.]online, cenesserie[.]fun, and indexspotcaptcha[.]com.
PUAs open dubious web pages, serve advertisements, and gather various data.
What is Ukk1 ransomware?
Ukk1 is a malicious program and part of the MedusaLocker ransomware family. It is designed to encrypt the data of infected systems in order to make ransom demands for decryption. During the encryption process, all affected files are appended with the ".ukk1" extension.
For example, a file originally named something like "1.jpg" would appear as "1.jpg.ukk1" following encryption. Once this process is complete, ransom messages within "Recovery_Instructions.html" files are dropped into compromised folders.
What kind of malware is Thanos?
Thanos was discovered by GrujaRS. This ransomware encrypts files, modifies filenames and generates a ransom message. It renames files by appending the ".locked" extension. Therefore, after encryption, "1.jpg" is renamed to "1.jpg.locked", "2.jpg" to "2.jpg.locked", and so on.
Thanos creates the "HOW_TO_DECYPHER_FILES.txt" text file (ransom message) in all folders that contain encrypted files.
What is SmartSearch?
SmartSearch is a potentially unwanted application (PUA) that serves advertisements and modifies browser settings. It might also collect browsing data and other information. In this way, SmartSearch functions both as adware and a browser hijacker.
These apps are rarely downloaded by users intentionally, and therefore they are classified as PUAs. SmartSearch is distributed via a deceptive installer, which is disguised as an installer for Adobe Flash Player.
What is veadoles[.]online website?
veadoles[.]online is the address of a rogue website, designed to present visitors with dubious content and/or redirect them to other bogus or possibly malicious websites.
The internet is full of web pages similar to veadoles[.]online - cenesserie.fun, indexspotcaptcha.com, special-breaking.news, and nlyimprese.fun are just some examples. Most users access these rogue websites inadvertently - they are redirected to them by intrusive advertisements or by Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs). These apps do not require explicit user consent to be installed onto systems. PUAs are designed to cause redirects, run intrusive ad campaigns, and collect browsing-related information.
What is GameSearchMedia?
GameSearchMedia is dubious software designed to modify browser settings to promote gamesearchmedia.com (a fake search engine). Due this, GameSearchMedia is classified as a browser hijacker.
Additionally, this rogue app gathers browsing-related information. Since most users download/install browser hijackers inadvertently, they are also classified as Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs).
What is Mifr?
Mifr is designed to encrypt victims' files, modify their filenames and create the "!INFO.HTA" file (ransom message) in each folder that contains at least one encrypted file. Mifr renames files by adding the hiden_pro@aol.com email address, victim's ID, and appending the ".mifr" extension.
For example, "1.jpg" is renamed to "1.jpg.[Hiden_pro@aol.com][PCZ687IRV9YHTB0].mifr", "2.jpg" to "2.jpg.[Hiden_pro@aol.com][PCZ687IRV9YHTB0].mifr", and so on. Note that Mifr belongs to the family of ransomware called VoidCrypt.
What is SmartControl?
SmartControl is an adware-type application with browser hijacker traits. Once successfully infiltrated into systems, this app begins running intrusive advertisement campaigns and makes modifications to browser settings to promote fake search engines.
In addition, most adware-type apps and browser hijackers monitor users' browsing activity. Due to the dubious methods employed in SmartControl's distribution, it is also classified as a Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA).
What is sonoffer[.]online?
Users do not generally visit sonoffer[.]online or similar sites intentionally - they are redirected to them via other dubious websites, deceptive advertisements, or their browsers have potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on them.
Some examples of other pages similar to sonoffer[.]online are indexspotcaptcha[.]com, atinterboa[.]space and tutupdate29[.]com.
What is 4KMovieSearch?
4KMovieSearch is dubious software classified as a browser hijacker. It modifies browser settings to promote 4kmoviesearch.com (a bogus search engine). Additionally, most browser hijackers have data tracking capabilities, which are employed to monitor users' browsing activity.
Due to the dubious techniques used to proliferate 4KMovieSearch, it is also classified as a Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA).
