What is clean.shield-plus.com?
clean.shield-plus.com is another fake Internet search engine that, according to the developers, enhances the browsing experience by generating improved results. Initially, this site may seem legitimate and useful, however, criminals promote clean.shield-plus.com using a browser-hijacking app called Shield-Plus History Cleaner.

What is ANNABELLE?
First discovered by Bart, ANNABELLE is a ransomware-type virus that stealthily infiltrates the system and encrypts most stored files. During encryption, this malware appends filenames with the ".ANNABELLE" extension (e.g., "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.ANNABELLE").
From this point, using files becomes impossible. Research results show that, after successfully encrypting files, ANNABELLE also performs various tasks to corrupt the system and, after rebooting it, locks the entire screen.
What is search.hdigitalcointracker.net?
According to the developers, Digital Coin Tracker is a legitimate application that supposedly enhances the web browsing experience by providing the latest news about various cryptocurrencies. Initially, this functionality may seem legitimate and useful, however, Digital Coin Tracker is categorized as a browser hijacker and a potentially unwanted program (PUP).
There are three main reasons for these negative associations: 1) stealth installation without consent; 2) promotion of a fake Internet search engine, and; 3) tracking of users' Internet browsing activity.
What is Current Me?
According to the developers, the Current Me application provides users with "beautiful" backgrounds and additional information (such as date, time, weather forecasts, etc.) relating to the current location.
Judging on appearance alone, this application may seem legitimate and useful, however, it is a potentially unwanted program (PUP) that infiltrates systems without users' consent and continually gathers information relating to web browsing activity. Furthermore, Current Me is categorized as adware - a form of rogue software that feeds users with intrusive advertisements.
What is redirecting.zone?
Identical to nametraff.com, goldoffer.online, and many others, redirecting.zone is a rogue site designed to redirect users to various other dubious websites.
Research shows that many users visit redirecting.zone inadvertently - they are redirected by potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) that infiltrate systems without permission. Research shows that, as well as causing redirects, PUPs deliver intrusive advertisements, gather sensitive information and, in some cases, run unwanted processes in the background.
What is search.allinoneoffice.net?
search.allinoneoffice.net is another fake search engine that supposedly enhances the web browsing experience by generating improved results, displaying local weather forecasts, and providing quick access to various Google services (Gmail, Google Drive, etc.).

Furthermore, search.allinoneoffice.net and All in One Office record user-system information relating to Internet browsing activity.
What is Cypher?
Cypher is a newly-discovered ransomware-type virus that stealthily infiltrates the system and encrypts most files. During encryption, this malware appends filenames with the ".cypher" extension (e.g., "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.cypher").
Once the files are encrypted, using them becomes impossible. Immediately after encryption, Cypher creates an HTML file ("HOW_TO_DECRYPT_FILES.html"), placing it on the desktop.
What is search.theappzworld.com?
Identical to search.iezbrowsing.com, search.theappzworld.com is a fake Internet search engine that, according to the developers, enhances the browsing experience by generating improved results and allowing users to search anonymously.
Initially, this site may seem legitimate and useful, however, criminals promote search.theappzworld.com using a potentially unwanted program (PUP) called Search Safely. Furthermore, search.theappzworld.com and Search Safely record information relating to users' Internet browsing activity.
What is trafficnado.com?
trafficnado.com is a rogue website identical to formulawire.com, nametraff.com, goldoffer.online, and many others. It causes redirects to various other dubious websites.

What is feed.speedomizer.com?
Identical to feed.video-browse.com, feed.emoji-search.com, and a number of others, feed.performanceomizer.com is a fake Internet search engine that, according to the developers, enhances the browsing experience by generating improved results.
These claims often trick users into believing that feed.performanceomizer.com is legitimate and useful, however, developers promote this site via a browser-hijacking application - Speedomizer. Note that feed.performanceomizer.com and Speedomizer continually gather various information relating to users' Internet browsing activity.
