What is ProMediaConverter?

ProMediaConverter (also known as ProMediaConverter Promoter) supposedly operates as a file converter that supports various file formats, including audio and video files.

What is Get Easy Coupons?

Get Easy Coupons is yet another browser-hijacking application that supposedly provides various online shopping coupons and discounts.

What kind of malware is Myskle?

Myskle is one of many ransomware-type programs designed to prevent victims from accessing their files unless they pay ransoms to the cyber criminals who designed them. This program belongs to the Djvu ransomware family and was discovered by Michael Gillespie.

Myskle is designed to change each encrypted filename by adding the ".myskle" extension. For example, "1.jpg" becomes "1.jpg.myskle". It also creates a ransom message within the "_readme.txt" file, which it stores in all folders that contain encrypted files.

What is Boston?

Discovered by Michael Gillespie and belonging to the Djvu family, Boston is a ransomware-type program.

For example, "1.jpg" becomes "1.jpg.boston". It also creates a ransom message within a text file called "_readme.txt", which can be found in folders that contain encrypted data.

What is PDF Genie?

PDF Genie is advertised as a PDF file converter that is apparently supported by the best technology. It supposedly allows conversion of all popular documents to PDF format and vice versa.

What is "Wtflife"?

Wtflife is a scam used to advertise an application called Smart Mac Booster. Scammers attempt to trick people into downloading and installing this app through a deceptive website that displays a fake virus alert. The site informs visitors that their computers are infected with a virus.

What is Live Protection Suite?

The Live Protection Suite program supposedly scans systems for threats and infections, and then removes them. In fact, this is a fake antivirus suite advertised on an 'official' website and also a deceptive, scam website. Live Protection Suite is a clone of Antivirus 10, another fake antivirus suite.

Developers use this software to extort money from users by encouraging them to purchase/activate the product. Do not trust, purchase, or use these rogue programs.
