Virus and Spyware Removal Guides, uninstall instructions
What is "Safari Keeps Opening By Itself"?
Many users experience a problem relating to the Safari browser whereby it repeatedly reopens. In other cases, it reopens even when users force quit it, or it opens when users have just logged into the Mac. This is a common problem and is usually caused by installed adware-type applications.
These are categorized as potentially unwanted apps (PUAs), which most users install unintentionally. Furthermore, apps of this type usually display intrusive ads and collect browsing-related data.
What is search.memeinc.net?
Developers present search.memeinc.net as a high quality search engine that enhances the browsing experience by generating improved results.
Judging on appearance alone, search.memeinc.net may seem legitimate and useful, however, developers promote this site using rogue browser-hijacking download/installation set-ups that modify browser options without permission. Furthermore, search.memeinc.net continually records information relating to browsing activity.
What kind of malware is IcedID?
IcedID (also known as Bokbot) is high-risk trojan that poses a significant threat to your privacy, and financial and computer safety.
It is typically proliferated using another trojan called Emotet, which is often distributed using spam email campaigns. After successful system infiltration, IcedID performs various malicious actions to monitor browsing activity, steal personal information, and manipulate the system.
What is Tostring?
Tostring is high-risk ransomware-type virus that stealthily infiltrates the system and compromises stored data, however, unlike other viruses of this type, it does not encrypt files. Tostring works as a 'wiper' by rewriting each existing file with a text file of an identical name.
For instance, "sample.jpg" is rewritten to "sample.jpg.txt", and so on. All text files are identical and contain identical text. Furthermore, Tostring opens a pop-up window and displays a GIF image of a dancing woman.
What is "Virus Support Alert"?
"Virus Support Alert" is a fake virus alert that is displayed in a pop-up window on a deceptive, dubious website. This is simply a scam that cyber criminals use to trick people into believing that their computers are infected and blocked.
Most people arrive at this untrustworthy website due to potentially unwanted apps (PUAs) installed on their computers or web browsers. In addition to redirects, PUAs deliver advertisements and collect user-system information.
What is Promos?
Discovered by Michael Gillespie, Promos is a new variant of high-risk ransomware called Djvu. This malware is designed to stealthily infiltrate the system and encrypt most stored files. In doing so, Promos adds the ".promos" extension to the name of each encrypted file (e.g., "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.promos").
As well as encrypting data, Promos generates a text file ("_readme.txt") and places a copy it in every existing folder. This file contains a ransom-demand message.
What is landost.com?
When visited, the landost.com rogue website causes unwanted redirects and displays deceptive, dubious content. The internet is full of websites of this type. Some examples of other similar sites are looksslike.com, fastpushnotification.com, and seriencev.com.
User do not generally arrive at landost.com intentionally - this is due to potentially unwanted apps (PUAs) installed on their systems. PUAs are often installed inadvertently and go on to open dubious sites such as landost.com, deliver intrusive ads, and collect browsing-related (and other) data.
What is housinesdepara.info?
housinesdepara.info is a typical untrustworthy, rogue website (virtually identical to seriencev.com, looksslike.com, fastpushnotification.com, and many others). When visited, this site causes redirects to other dubious websites or displays malicious content.
Most users do not open this website intentionally - potentially unwanted apps (PUAs) cause unwanted redirects to it, and also record information and serve online ads. Few PUAs are installed willingly.
What is feed.any-templates.com?
feed.any-templates.com is a fake search engine that supposedly generates the most accurate results and, thus, enhances the browsing experience. Judging on appearance alone, feed.any-templates.com may seem legitimate and useful, however, developers proliferate this site using a browser-hijacking potentially unwanted application (PUA) called AnyTemplates.
This supposedly provides various design patterns, however, AnyTemplates typically infiltrates computers without users’ permission. In addition, feed.any-templates.com and AnyTemplates are designed to gather information relating to browsing activity.
What is yatab.net?
yatab.net is a fake search engine that supposedly improves the browsing experience by generating better results. Judging on appearance alone, this site may seem legitimate and useful, however, developers promote it using a potentially unwanted browser-hijacking application (PUA) called YaTab, which allows them to modify the browser homepage.
YaTab is likely to infiltrate computers without users’ permission. In addition, yatab.net and YaTab record information relating to browsing activity.
