Virus and Spyware Removal Guides, uninstall instructions

What is Emotet?

Emotet trojan (also known as Geodo) is high-risk malware designed to record personal data and proliferate other viruses. Research shows that Emotet infiltrates systems without users' consent.

After successful infiltration, this malware modifies system settings and uses the infiltrated computer to proliferate itself further. Cyber criminals usually spread this virus using spam email campaigns.

What kind of malware is Win32/Skeeyah?

Win32/Skeeyah (also known as Trojan:win32/skeeyah.A) is a trojan-type infection that stealthily infiltrates computers and allows cyber criminals to manipulate infected systems. The presence of this infection can cause various problems, including additional computer infections and privacy issues. Trojans such as Win32/Skeeyah infiltrate computers without users' consent.

What is Luces?

Discovered by Michael Gillespie, Luces is yet another variant of high-risk ransomware called Djvu. After successful infiltration, Luces encrypts most stored data and appends filenames with the ".luces" extension. For instance, "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.luces".

As well as encrypting data, Luces creates a text file ("_readme.txt") and places a copy in every existing folder.

What is Metan?

Metan belongs to the GarrantyDecrypt ransomware family and was discovered by Michael Gillespie. It is categorized as ransomware, a program used by cyber criminals to prevent users from accessing their files by encrypting data stored on their computers. These computer infections allow developers (cyber criminals) to blackmail victims by making ransom demands.

Metan renames all encrypted files by adding the ".metan" extension. For example, "1.jpg" becomes "1.jpg.metan". It also creates a ransom message within a text file ("#HOW TO DECRYPT FILES#.txt"), which can be found in folders that contain encrypted files.

What is pushfuns.com?

Similar to pushzonex.com, browsers.top, pushtouchme.info, and many others, pushfuns.com is a rogue website designed to redirect users to other dubious sites and deliver content. Users typically visit pushfuns.com inadvertently - they are redirected by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) or intrusive advertisements displayed on other dubious websites.

PUAs usually infiltrate computers without permission and, as well as causing redirects, deliver intrusive advertisements and gather information.

What is Rabbit?

Ransomware-type programs generally encrypt data stored on computers, which allows developers (cyber criminals) to blackmail victims by making ransom demands. Rabbit ransomware does not encrypt data but locks the computer screen and displays a ransom demand window. This ransomware-type program was discovered by MalwareHunterTeam.

What is go.coloringmaster.net?

go.coloringmaster.net is presented as a legitimate search engine. Developers promise an enhanced browsing experience (faster searches, improved results, and so on), however, this site is promoted via a browser hijacker, a potentially unwanted application (PUA) called Coloring Master.

When installed, apps of this type change browser settings. Additionally, Coloring Master and go.coloringmaster.net collect information relating to users' browsing activity.

What is PowerGamesNetwork?

PowerGamesNetwork is categorized as a potentially unwanted application (PUA) and adware-type software. Developers state that it can be used to download various games. Indeed, it may seem to be a legitimate and useful app for people who play various games.

What is pushzonex.com?

pushzonex.com is yet another rogue website that is virtually identical to browsers.top, pushtouchme.info, parliery.info, and many others. As with these examples, pushzonex.com redirects to various websites and delivers dubious content.

Research shows that users often end up visiting pushzonex.com site inadvertently - they are redirected by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) or intrusive advertisements displayed on other rogue sites. PUAs typically infiltrate computers without permission and, as well as causing redirects, record information and deliver intrusive advertisements.

What is Fanatical Assistant?

As presented on its website, the Fanatical Assistant application supposedly gives users access to various games at the best prices. It also allows them to quickly find over 5000 games.

This may seem to be a useful app, especially for people who often purchase games, however, Fanatical Assistant is categorized as a potentially unwanted application (PUA) that operates as adware (ad-supportive software). Applications of this type feed users with intrusive advertisements and gather data relating to browsing activity.
