GreatAds is similar to other advertising networks such as Taboola, Wizzcaster, and Ads by Ads2.

What is "We Have Installed One RAT Software"?

"We Have Installed One RAT Software" is categorized as a spam email campaign that is used to blackmail users. Cyber criminals send an email message stating that the user's computer is hacked and/or infected with malware, remote access tool (RAT) is installed, and a ransom payment is required.

If payment is not made, the message states that a "disgraceful video will be sent to all the people you know". This is a scam - these emails are simply used to extort money from innocent users.

What is Waifu?

First discovered by malware security researcher Jakub Kroustek, Waifu is an updated variant of high-risk ransomware called Dharma. As with its predecessor, Waifu stealthily infiltrates systems and encrypts most stored data, appending filenames with the ".[Darknes@420blaze.it].waifu" extension (e.g., "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.[Darknes@420blaze.it].waifu").

Once encryption is complete, Waifu opens a pop-up window and creates a text file ("FILES ENCRYPTED.txt"), placing a copy on the victim's desktop.

What is moviecharm.com?

MovieCharm is a rogue application that supposedly allows users to watch various movies online free of charge. Initially, this app may seem legitimate and useful, however, MovieCharm is categorized as a potentially unwanted application (PUA) and a browser hijacker.

Free-movies.xxg23lthhh.top is another rogue website (similar to mysuperapps.online, newstarads.com, redirectal.com, and hundreds of others) designed to redirect visitors to other untrustworthy sites.

Adware-type applications are often installed without users' consent, deploy intrusive advertisements, and gather information relating to browsing activity.
