What is notify-lastnews.online?

notify-lastnews.online is a rogue website that shares similarities with strialdeather.info, go.oclaserver.com, news-notification.tools, and many others. It redirects to other dubious websites.

Research shows that many users arrive at notify-lastnews.online inadvertently - they are redirected by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) or, in some cases, intrusive advertisements generated by other deceptive sites. Potentially unwanted apps typically infiltrate computers without permission.

As well as causing redirects, they deliver intrusive advertisements and record user-system information relating to browsing habits.

What is "You can visit the police station"?

Scammers use the "You can visit the police station" spam email campaign to trick people into believing that they have obtained compromising photos or videos. They also make ransom demands and threaten that they will proliferate this material if their demands are not met.

Note that this is simply one of many spam email campaigns of this type, and there is nothing to worry about.

What is "Your Windows has been banned"?

"Your Windows has been banned" or "This PC has been Blocked"  is a fake error message claiming that the user has violated Microsoft's terms of use. Be aware, however, that this is simply a scam that locks the computer screen and encourages victims to contact "Microsoft's Technicians" who will supposedly help to solve the problem.

What kind of malware is HawkEye?

HawkEye is high-risk virus designed to record keystrokes, account credentials, and other similar information. In most cases, HawkEye is distributed using spam email campaigns. Developers send thousands of deceptive emails that encourage users to open attached files, however, opening them results in infiltration of HawkEye.

Cyber criminals sometimes infiltrate HawkEye manually, using remote access tools (RATs).

What is Trojan:Win32/Fuerboos?

Trojan:Win32/Fuerboos is the name of a threat detected by Windows Defender. Although the message states that Trojan:Win32/Fuerboos is presented as high-risk threat, this is often a "false positive". Therefore, the anti-virus suite detects a legitimate file as malicious and eliminates it.

What is search.safefinderformac.com?

Search.safefinderformac.com is a fake Internet search engine similar to search.safefinder.com and isearch.safefinder.net. By offering improved search results, search.safefinderformac.com attempts to give the impression of legitimacy, however, this site is promoted via deceptive application downloaders/installers designed to modify web browser options without users' consent.

Furthermore, search.safefinderformac.com gathers various data relating to the web browsing activity.

What is movie.globalappz.live?

movie.globalappz.live is a fake search engine similar or identical to many others of this type such as search.hyourtelevisionnow.com, feed.streaming-time.com, searcholive.com, etc. Note that movie.globalappz.live is promoted using a potentially unwanted application (PUA) and a browser hijacker called Mega Movies Search.

According to its developers, this app provides access to a database from which users can search for movies. Many users install these unwanted apps unintentionally. Furthermore, PUAs and associated fake search engines often record browsing-related data.

What is Crypted034?

Discovered by Racco42, Crypted034 is a new variant of Scarab ransomware. After successful infiltration, Crypted034 encrypts data and renames it by generating a random filename and adding the ".crypted034" extension to each affected file. For instance, "sample.jpg" becomes "fhs40-45.crypted034", etc.

Once encrypted, files become unusable and indistinguishable. Furthermore, this infection blocks Task Manager so that the encryption process cannot be terminated.  It also places the "HOW TO RECOVER ENCRYPTED FILES.TXT" text file, a ransom-demand message, in every folder that contains encrypted files.

What is PC Analyzer Tool?

According to PC Analyzer Tool developers, this program is capable of cleaning computers from various unnecessary files, fixing registry and other errors, removing infections, defragmenting disks, and so on. In fact, this application is promoted using deceptive websites that display fake virus alerts and cannot be trusted.

This is a fake tool used by scammers to scare people and trick them into purchasing dubious services.

What is Bear?

Discovered by Jakub Kroustek, the Bear virus is a new variant of Dharma ransomware-type infections. Like most infections of this type, Bear is designed to encrypt files and make them unusable until the ransom is paid. It renames each encrypted file by adding the ".Bear" extension and including an ID and email address.

For example, "1.jpg" might become "1.jpg.id-1E857D00.[Grizzly@airmail.cc].Bear". It also creates a ransom demand message within the "FILES ENCRYPTED.txt" text file and a pop-up window.
