What is search.hfastpackagetracker.net?

search.hfastpackagetracker.net is one of many fake search engines available on the internet. This site is usually promoted by a potentially unwanted application (PUA), a browser hijacker called Fast Package Tracker. According to developers, it provides quick access to package tracking services and direct access to web browsers.

In fact, most users install browser-hijacker apps unintentionally. Once installed, they modify browser settings and collect data relating to browsing habits.

What is XARCryptor?

Discovered by S!Ri, XARCryptor is categorized as a ransomware-type malicious program and is a new variant of Garrantydecrypt. This computer infection is designed to block access to data by encryption. To decrypt their files, XARCryptor's victims are encouraged to pay a ransom (in effect, by purchasing a decryption tool/key).

XARCryptor renames each encrypted file by adding the ".odin" extension. For example, "1.jpg" becomes "1.jpg.odin". It also creates a ransom message within a text file called "#RECOVERY_FILES#.txt", which can be found in each folder that contains encrypted data.

What is Finished Applying Browser Update?

"Finished Applying Browser Update" is a pop-up window informing users that a browser update was completed. Note that the information provided is false. This pop-up is displayed only on Safari web browsers.

Once the "Close" button is clicked, the browser crashes and all opened tabs are closed. Reopening the browser results in a redirect to the Safe Finder fake search engine.

What is search.ssoextension.com?

search.ssoextension.com is a fake search engine that is promoted through the SpecialSearchOption application (also known as SSOption).

According to its developers, this app provides a more enjoyable browsing experience, however, SpecialSearchOption is categorized as a potentially unwanted application (PUA), a browser hijacker. It modifies browser settings and records browsing-related information and might also feed users with intrusive ads.

What is Ahihi?

Discovered by MalwareHunterTeam, Ahihi is a ransomware-type computer infection that infiltrates computers and encrypts all data stored, thus making it impossible for users to access their files. Most ransomware infections add a specific extension to each encrypted file, however, Ahihi does not take this action.

This virus creates a ransom demand message within a "README.txt" text file and runs a process in Task Manager called "BangLuongThang02".

What is cpi-offers.com?
