What is search.weheartcoloring.com?
search.weheartcoloring.com is one of many fake search engines available on the internet. It is promoted using the We Heart Coloring potentially unwanted application (PUA), which is also a browser hijacker.

What is Clop?
Clop is a ransomware-type virus discovered by Jakub Kroustek. This malware is designed to encrypt data and rename each file by appending the ".Clop" extension. For instance, "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.Clop". Following successful encryption, Clop generates a text file ("ClopReadMe.txt") and places a copy in every existing folder.
The text file contains a ransom-demand message. Updated variant of this ransomware appends ".Cllp" extension and drops a ransom note named "README_README.txt".
What is "Sony Afri Mandela Sharing Happiness Award"?
The "Sony Afri Mandela Sharing Happiness Award" email is sent to many people to trick them into clicking the presented website link. This is a scam presented as a notification of recipients being approved as winners of a large sum of money. This is merely a scam that cannot be trusted. We strongly recommend that you ignore it and do not click the presented link.
What is DESYNC?
Discovered by Michael Gillespie, DESYNC is a ransomware-type program developed by cyber criminals who use it to encrypt people's files (make them unusable) and then demand ransom payments.

Note that the "ERROR 0X1CXX560" pop-up window is displayed on an untrustworthy, deceptive website. People often end up visiting this (and other websites of this type) due to potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed without users' knowledge.
