What is ylx-4.com?
ylx-4.com is a rogue website designed to cause redirects to various other untrustworthy sites. It is similar or identical to other websites of this type, including veirregnant.club, smallentesa.club, shlega.com, and many more. Users often arrive at ylx-4.com inadvertently, since potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) force redirects to this site.
PUAs are commonly installed without users' consent and, in addition to enforcing redirects to untrustworthy websites, deliver intrusive ads and collect user-system information.
What is "Mac iOS Security At Risk Error Code: HT201155"?
"Mac iOS Security At Risk Error Code: HT201155" is a fake error message identical to "AppleCare Tech Support Scam". This message is often delivered by deceptive websites, most of which users visit inadvertently - they are redirected by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) or intrusive ads delivered by other rogue sites.
Research shows that potentially unwanted applications are likely to infiltrate systems without permission. As well as causing redirects, they deploy intrusive advertisements and gather sensitive information.
What is popcornvod.com?
Virtually identical to veirregnant.club, smallentesa.club, shlega.com, and many other web pages of this type, popcornvod.com is a rogue website that redirects visitors to other untrustworthy (or/and potentially malicious) sites.
In most cases, users visit popcornvod.com inadvertently - they are redirected to it by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) that are installed inadvertently. Furthermore, PUAs also deliver intrusive advertisements and record user-system information.
What is swuchab.win?
swuchab.win is a rogue website similar or even identical to other websites of this type (including veirregnant.club, smallentesa.club, shlega.com, etc.). It is designed to redirect visitors to untrustworthy and/or potentially malicious websites.
Users generally visit swuchab.win unintentionally - they are redirected to it by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs). These applications are often installed inadvertently, cause unwanted redirects, collect various data, misuse system resources, and deliver intrusive ads.
What is Un-blocking?
Un-blocking is a deceptive application that provides access to geographically-restricted websites that would otherwise be blocked.
This may seem a useful app, however, it is categorized as potentially unwanted application (PUA) and an adware-type app. There are three main reasons for this classification: Un-blocking is often installed unintentionally, delivers intrusive ads, and gathers data.
What is hp.myway.com?
The FreePDFCombiner application supposedly offers conversion to and from various file formats (DOC, PDF, TXT, and so on) directly from the web browser.
This app may seem useful and legitimate, however, it is also classified as potentially unwanted application (PUA) and a browser hijacker, since it is installed without users' knowledge and used to promote a dubious search engine.
What is Maxi Buy?
Maxi Buy is a rogue application that falsely claims to save time and money when shopping online by providing coupons and notifications of special deals/discounts available on web stores. Judging on appearance alone, Maxi Buy may seem legitimate and useful, however, this app is categorized as a browser hijacker and a potentially unwanted application (PUA).
Three main reasons for these negative associations are: 1) infiltration without users' consent; 2) tracking of browsing activity, and; 3) display of intrusive advertisements.
What is Scarab-Hitler?
Discovered by Amigo-A, Scarab-Hitler is a new variant of a ransomware-type virus called Scarab. Immediately after infiltration, Scarab-Hitler encrypts most stored data and renames files using the "[random_letters_and_digits].hitler" filename pattern. For example, "sample.jpg" might be renamed to a filename such as "AK4gaO331lX8gk21pHm1a.hitler".
Encrypted data becomes unusable and indistinguishable. As well as encryption, Scarab-Hitler also generates a text file ("HOW TO RECOVER ENCRYPTED FILES.TXT") and places a copy in each existing folder.
What is Apple Recent Purchase Email Virus?
"Apple Recent Purchase Email Virus" is a spam email campaign similar to AT&T Invoice Email Virus, Here Is Your Fax Email Virus, and many others. This campaign is used to proliferate a trojan-type virus called Hancitor.
Users receive fake notifications from Apple encouraging them to open a link - this downloads a malicious Microsoft Office document designed to download and install Hancitor onto the system.
What is Suri?
First discovered by MalwareHunterTeam, Suri is a high-risk virus based on ransomware called "Stupid". This virus is designed to encrypt most stored files and adds the ".SLAV" appendix to the name of each affected file (e.g., "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.SLAV").
Once encrypted, data immediately becomes unusable. After infiltration, Suri changes the desktop wallpaper and opens a pop-up window. Both contain a ransom-demand message.
