Virus and Spyware Removal Guides, uninstall instructions
What is Mondaysunday?
Mondaysunday is a deceptive website used to advertise a rogue application called Smart Mac Booster. When opened, it informs visitors that their computers are infected with viruses and encourages them to remove the threats with the aforementioned application.
Websites such as Mondaysunday and apps promoted on them should not be trusted. Typically, websites of this type are opened by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) that are installed on browsers or computers. PUAs are often designed to record various user-system information and display annoying, often deceptive advertisements.
What is mybestmv.com?
mybestmv.com is a rogue website designed to cause redirects to other dubious sites. It is virtually identical to notifychheck.com, servedbytrackingdesk.com, notification-browser.tools, and many others.
Generally, users visit mybestmv.com inadvertently - they are redirected by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) or intrusive advertisements displayed on untrustworthy sites. Research shows that PUAs typically infiltrate systems without permission and, cause redirects, record user-system information, and deliver intrusive advertisements.
What is "Nspchlpr"?
The pop-up message "nspchlpr will damage your computer. You should move it to the Bin." is associated with the Similar Photo Cleaner application. Nspchlpr files originate during the installation process of this rogue app. This is a more likely occurrence on devices with the Catalina version of the MacOS (Mac Operating System).
Immediate removal of all Nspchlpr-related files is strongly recommended. Helpermcp, Smbstrhlpr, and Helperamc are examples of other applications identical to Nspchlpr.
What is KRAB?
Discovered by Jakub Kroustek, KRAB (not to be confused with KRAB ransomware of the same name) is malicious software belonging to the Dharma ransomware family. KRAB encrypts files and demands ransom payments for decryption. During data encryption, it renames all files with the victim's unique ID number, developer's email address, and the ".KRAB" extension.
For example, "1.jpg" might be renamed to a filename such as "1.jpg.id-1E857D00.[Blackmax@tutanota.com ].KRAB". Once KRAB encryption is complete, the ransomware creates a text file called "FILES ENCRYPTED.txt and stores it on the desktop. It also displays a pop-up window (HTML application).
What is Ummhlpr?
Ummhlpr is one of many unwanted applications that are installed together with other apps of this kind. In this particular case, users install Ummhlpr through an app called Unpollute My Mac.
People who have Ummhlpr installed on MacOS Catalina (the latest MacOS operating system) are forced to encounter a pop-up window stating that "ummhlpr" will damage the computer and that it should be removed to the Bin. Research shows that this pop-up often freezes operating systems.
To solve this problem, the Ummhlpr app must be uninstalled and all associated files removed. We also advise that you uninstall Unpollute My Mac.
What is Qbit Optimizer Pro?
Qbit Optimizer Pro (also known as Qbit~ Optimizer Pro) is software endorsed as a system cleaning and optimization tool. It is supposedly capable of detecting various threats/issues and removing them, deleting unnecessary and temporary files, etc.
Few users install Qbit Optimizer Pro intentionally - most are tricked to install. It is distributed via the download/install set-ups of other programs (i.e. "bundled" with them) and also has an official download website. Due to the dubious methods used to distribute Qbit Optimizer Pro, this software is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA).
What is Auto System Care?
Auto System Care, also known as Auto- System -Care, is software endorsed as a system cleaner and optimization tool. It is allegedly capable of speeding up devices, and detecting and removing various threats and issues. Due to its dubious modes of distribution, it is categorized as a Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA).
It is distributed in the download/install set-ups of other programs and thus users often install this application inadvertently. Auto System Care also has an official web page from which it can be purchased.
What is hp.myway.com?
Distributed by the Mindspark Interactive Network, QuickTemplateFinder is a browser hijacker endorsed for quick access to various printable templates. It is supposedly capable of providing personalized and easy-to-use templates. For example, labels, flyers, coupons, resumes, and other designs.
In fact, it modifies browsers and promotes hp.myway.com, a fake search engine. Furthermore, QuickTemplateFinder has data tracking abilities, which it employs to monitor users' browsing activity. Most users install this rogue application inadvertently. They are tricked to install and, therefore, it is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA).
What is progressstream[.]com?
progressstream[.]com is one of many deceptive websites (scams) that are used to trick visitors into downloading and installing a dubious application. This particular web page displays fake virus notifications and encourages visitors to remove 'detected viruses' immediately.
These sites are often opened by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) that are already installed on systems. Therefore, people do not visit sites such as progressstream[.]com intentionally. Furthermore, installed PUAs are usually designed to display ads and record information.
What is Driver Tuneup?
Driver Tuneup is advertised as a program that finds and installs missing drivers, and updates drivers that are out-of-date.
In fact, developers promote this app through the download and/or installation set-ups of other software (such as Advance System Care). Programs that are distributed in this way are categorized as potentially unwanted applications (PUAs), since people often download and install them unintentionally.
