What is gosearchresults.com?

gosearchresults.com is another fake search engine that supposedly offers an enhanced browsing experience using improved search results. Judging on appearance alone, this may seem like a legitimate search engine, however, it is categorized as a potentially unwanted application (PUA).

What is Noblis?

Noblis is a malicious program and another variant of BlackOrchid ransomware. It is designed to encrypt data and demand payment for decryption. During the encryption process, all affected files are appended with the ".locked" extension. For example, a file originally named something like "1.jpg" would appear as "1.jpg.locked" following encryption.

After this process is finished, Noblis ransomware displays a pop-up window containing an incomplete ransom message.

What is lpxsx.xyz?

Sharing many similarities with cbsearch.site, biosc.xyz, world-search.net, select-search.com and countless others, Ipxsx.xyz is the address of a bogus search engine. While these search tools may seem legitimate, with little or no difference from genuine sites, they are usually unable to provide unique results.

Fake search engines are promoted by rogue software classified as browser hijackers. Additionally, bogus search engines and browser hijackers are known to monitor users' browsing activity. Therefore, it is highly likely that lpxsx.xyz tracks browsing data as well, which is a major privacy concern.

What is NetWalker?

NetWalker is an updated variant of Mailto ransomware. Systems infected with this malware suffer data encryption and users receive ransom demands for decryption tools/software. During the encryption process, all compromised files are appended with a random character string extension.

For example, a file originally named "1.jpg" could appear as something similar to "1.jpg.3289cf" following encryption. After this process is complete, a ransom message ("[random-string]-Readme.txt") is dropped into every affected folder.

What is Oled?

Oled ransomware was discovered by S!Ri. Typically, software of this type encrypts files, renames them and creates ransom messages. Oled renames encrypted files by adding the victim's ID and developer's email address, and appending the ".oled" extension to filenames.

For example, it might rename "1.jpg" to a filename such as "1.jpg.[EF7BE7BC].[oled@airmail.cc].oled", and so on. Oled also creates a ransom message within a text file named "readme-warning.txt".

What is Manuals Aid?

Manuals Aid is rogue software categorized as a browser hijacker. It is endorsed as a tool for easy access to various product and brand manuals, however, Manuals Aid modifies browsers and promotes manualsaid.com (a bogus search engine).

Additionally, this browser hijacker has data tracking capabilities, which are used to gather sensitive information derived from users' browsing activity. Since most people install Manuals Aid unintentionally, it is also classified as a Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA).

What is ZorgoCry?

ZorgoCry is ransomware which was discovered by Amigo-A. It encrypts victims' files, renames them by appending a new extension, changes the desktop wallpaper and creates a ransom message. ZorgoCry appends the ".projectzorgo" extension to filenames.

For example, it would rename a file called "1.jpg" to "1.jpg.projectzorgo", "2.jpg" to "2.jpg.projectzorgo", etc. A ransom message is generated within a text file ("READ_ME.txt"), which ZorgoCry stores in every folder that contains encrypted files.
