Virus and Spyware Removal Guides, uninstall instructions
What is pushtouchme.info?
pushtouchme.info is one of many rogue websites on the internet and very similar to becausaldevel.info, onlinepushnotification.com, and parliery.info. Its main purpose is to redirect visitors to dubious, deceptive websites or display dubious content.
Most users visit this site unintentionally - they are forced to visit websites of this type due to potentially unwanted apps (PUAs) installed on their browsers (or operating systems). These apps cause redirects to untrustworthy websites, feed users with intrusive ads, and gather browsing-related data.
What is search.hpackage-manager.net?
search.hpackage-manager.net is categorized as a fake search engine. Although it is promoted as legitimate, developers promote it using a browser hijacker, a PUA (potentially unwanted app) called Package Manager. According to the developers, this PUA supposedly allows users to track their packages (orders managed by UPS, USPS, FedEx, and other carriers).
Typically, users do not download and install apps of this type intentionally. When installed, Package Manager modifies browser settings and collects browsing-related information.
What is CSP?
CSP is a ransomware-type virus discovered by Michael Gillespie. After successful infiltration, CSP encrypts most stored data.
This malware appends filenames with the ".csp" extension (e.g., "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.csp"). Encrypted data instantly becomes unusable. In addition, CSP generates a text file ("HOW TO DECRYPT[1T0tO].txt") and places a copy in each folder containing encrypted files.
What is searchforrecipes-svc.com?
searchforrecipes-svc.com is another fake search engine presented as 'useful'. In this particular case, it is promoted using a browser hijacker, a potentially unwanted application (PUA) called Search for Recipe, which supposedly allows users to search for popular, free recipes directly from the browser.
Many people download and install PUAs such as this unintentionally. Furthermore, these (and the fake search engines they promote) continually record information regarding users' browsing habits.
What is search.hfindyourrecipe.com?
Developers present search.hfindyourrecipe.com as a legitimate search engine that enhances the browsing experience by providing quick access to various websites and generating improved results. Many users believe that this site is legitimate and useful, however, developers promote search.hfindyourrecipe.com using a browser-hijacking application called Find Your Recipe.
Research shows that this potentially unwanted application (PUA) usually infiltrates systems without users’ permission. Be aware that search.hfindyourrecipe.com and Find Your Recipe are designed to monitor browsing activity by recording various user-system data.
What is "Chrome Update Center"?
"Chrome Update Center" is a fake error message displayed on a deceptive website. The message is also known as "Firefox Update Center" and "Internet Explorer Update Center". Its main purpose is to trick people into downloading and installing a Trojan downloader that can cause high-risk computer infections.
Generally, people arrive at this site (or other deceptive/untrustworthy websites) due to potentially unwanted apps (PUAs) that they have installed on their computers or web browsers. Apps of this type usually deliver online ads and collect user-system information.
What kind of software is PDF Mac Master?
Belonging to the InstallCore adware family, PDF Mac Master is a deceptive application that supposedly allows users to view and manage PDF files.
Judging on appearance alone, PDF Mac Master may seem legitimate and useful. However, this app is categorized as adware. Software of this type is often associated with stealth installation without users' consent, display of intrusive ads, and information tracking.
What is search.hfastmapsapp.com?
Developers present search.hfastmapsapp.com as a legitimate search engine that generates improved results and provides quick access to various popular websites. In fact, search.hfastmapsapp.com is a fake search engine that is useless. Research shows that developers promote this site using a browser-hijacking potentially unwanted application (PUA) called Fast Maps App.
This app usually infiltrates computers without users' consent. Furthermore, search.hfastmapsapp.com and Fast Maps App continually track browsing activity by gathering various data.
What is search.hconverterpro.com?
search.hconverterpro.com is one of many fake search engines that claims to enhance the browsing experience by providing quick access to various popular websites (YouTube, Gmail, Facebook, etc.) and generating improved results.
On initial inspection search.hconverterpro.com may seem legitimate and useful, however, developers proliferate this site using a potentially unwanted application (PUA) called Converter Pro, which usually infiltrates systems without permission. In addition, search.hconverterpro.com (and Converter Pro) gather information relating to browsing habits.
What is Megalodon?
Megalodon is a high-risk trojan that behaves like a Remote Access Tool (RAT) and a key-logger. Developers typically proliferate this malware using email spam campaigns. They send thousands of emails encouraging users to open attached files (most of which are Microsoft Excel documents).
They present these attachments as invoices, bills, or other payment-related documents. In any case, opening the attachment leads to infiltration of Megalodon.
