What is stalluva.pro?

stalluva.pro is another rogue site that shares similarities with chromext.club, omumultation.club, shaimsaijels.com, bodelen.com, and dozens of others. As with these examples, stalluva.pro causes redirects to rogue websites and displays dubious content.

Research shows that users typically visit stalluva.pro inadvertently, since they are redirected by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) or intrusive ads displayed on other rogue sites. PUAs usually infiltrate computers without users' permission, cause unwanted redirects, generate advertisements, and record information relating to browsing habits.

What is Ads by TS?

Ads marked with 'Ads by TS' (or 'Ads by TS X') can appear while searching using the Google search engine. This indicates that there are adware-type apps installed on the computer or browser. These are categorized as potentially unwanted applications (PUAs).

Typically, users do not install PUAs intentionally - they are tricked into allowing these unwanted installations. Once installed, adware-type apps serve users with intrusive advertisements and record information relating to users' browsing habits.

What is "Hey. It's me! Your future friend or enemy"?

Cyber criminals proliferate the "Hey. It's me! Your future friend or enemy" scam through email messages. They send emails to many random people hoping that some will take the message seriously.

The main purpose of this scam is to trick the recipient of the email into sending money to the scammers, otherwise the scammers threaten to proliferate a 'personal' video that they have supposedly recorded using a program that they stealthily installed on the user's computer. We recommend that you ignore this email, since all claims are false.

Most visitors arrive at uniquecaptcha.com inadvertently - they are redirected by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) or intrusive ads displayed on other rogue sites. PUAs usually infiltrate computers without users’ permission. As well as causing redirects, they deliver advertisements and record user-system information relating to browsing activity.

What is concreasun.info?

concreasun.info is a rogue website similar to many others of this kind (for example, verifycaptcha.com, newpush.support, and lameterthenhep.info) that redirects visitors to other untrustworthy/dubious sites.

These rogue applications are usually installed inadvertently and are designed to cause unwanted redirects, deliver intrusive ads, and collect information regarding users' browsing habits.

Note that search.dramofog.com is presented as legitimate - developers promote it as being useful, offering faster searches, and more accurate search results, etc. They promote it using rogue downloaders/installers that change browser settings. Furthermore, this fake search engine gathers various information relating to users' browsing habits.

What is search.hloginnow.net?

search.hloginnow.net is a fake search engine that is very similar to search.hmylocalclassifieds.co, defendsearch.com, resultsinquire.com, and many others of this type. The site may seem legitimate, since it shares similarities with popular search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Bing, and so on.

In fact, search.hloginnow.net is promoted using a browser hijacker called Login Now. This application supposedly provides users with easy access to email accounts. Unfortunately, this app is categorized as potentially unwanted app (PUA). Typically, users do not install these apps intentionally.

Furthermore, Login Now and other PUAs gather data and modify infiltrated browser settings.

What kind of malware is KadrBot?

KadrBot (more specifically, Win32:KadrBot) is the name of a threat detected by various anti-virus suites. This threat is categorized as a trojan and hides deep within the system.

These viruses typically infiltrate computers without users' permission and their presence can lead to various issues, since trojans are often used to proliferate other viruses and manage systems remotely (criminals use them as remote access tools).

What is Shadi?

Shadi is a malicious program that was discovered by Michael Gillespie. It is categorized as ransomware-type program. Typically, cyber criminals who develop these computer infections use them to encrypt data stored on victims' systems and make ransom demands.

In this particular case, a ransom message can be found in the "Readme.txt" file. When encrypted, files become unusable. Ransomware-type programs usually rename encrypted files by adding a new (additional) extension. Shadi adds the ".shadi" extension. For example, "1.jpg" becomes "1.jpg.shadi".
