What is Error Code - 022-100-006?
Similar to Call Microsoft Support, CRITICAL ALERT FROM MICROSOFT, Windows Firewall Warning Alert, and many others, "Error Code - 022-100-006" is a fake error message claiming that the system is infected. This error is displayed by a malicious website that users often visit inadvertently - they are redirected by potentially unwanted programs (PUPs).
In most cases, these programs infiltrate systems without permission. As well as causing redirects, potentially unwanted programs deliver intrusive advertisements, gather sensitive information, and misuse system resources to run unwanted background processes.
What is Firefox Requires A Manual Update?
"Firefox Requires A Manual Update" is a scam model used to proliferate adware. There are dozens of malicious websites displaying this message. These identical sites appear legitimate, but are used to trick users into believing that their browsers need to be updated.
In fact, rather than downloading "updates", users might inadvertently download and install adware-type applications/add-ons. Research also shows that they can be redirected to these websites by other potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) that infiltrate systems without permission.
What is search.freshtab.net?
search.freshtab.net is a fake Internet search engine that supposedly generates improved results and allows users to change their homepage wallpapers.
This functionality may seem legitimate and useful, however, search.freshtab.net is promoted using a browser-hijacking application called FreshTab. Furthermore, search.freshtab.net and FreshTab collect various data relating to web browsing habits.
What is search.iezbrowsing.com?
search.iezbrowsing.com is a fake Internet search engine relating to eanswers.com. According to the developers, search.iezbrowsing.com significantly enhances the web browsing experience by generating improved results.
Judging on appearance alone, search.iezbrowsing.com may seem legitimate and useful, however, this site is promoted using browser-hijacking applications (e.g., EZbrowsing, EasyMovies, etc.) Furthermore, search.iezbrowsing.com gathers information relating to users' web browsing activity.
What is yourlink.online?
Identical to nametraff.com, goldoffer.online, bestadbid.com, and many others, yourlink.online is a rogue website designed to cause redirects to other dubious sites.
Users are typically redirected to yourlink.online by various potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) that infiltrate systems without permission. Potentially unwanted programs are also known to deliver intrusive advertisements and gather sensitive information.
What is SYSTEM?
SYSTEM is a new variant of high-risk ransomware called CryptoMix. Once infiltrated, SYSTEM encrypts most stored data. In addition, it renames filenames using the "[32_digit_hexadecimal_number].SYSTEM" pattern. For example, "1.jpg" might be renamed to a filename such as "28B0C4303AC580100F06CA073D3763C4.SYSTEM".
From this point, distinguishing files and using them becomes impossible. After successfully encrypting files, SYSTEM creates a text file ("_HELP_INSTRUCTIONS.TXT") and places a copy in every existing folder.
What is nametraff.com?
Identical to billmscurlrev.com, celeryleek.com, thesterminator.com, and many others, nametraff.com is a deceptive website designed to redirect to various other rogue sites.
Users are most likely to visit nametraff.com inadvertently, since they are redirected by potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) that infiltrate systems without users' consent. As well as causing redirects, PUPs deliver intrusive advertisements and continually record user-system information (mostly relating to web browsing habits).
What is search.searchtpg.com?
Track Packages is a rogue application that supposedly allows users to track package deliveries. Promises to deliver this functionality often trick users into believing that Track Packages is legitimate and useful. In fact, this app 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 experience.
What is SlikDealer?
Developers present SlikDealer as a legitimate application that supposedly saves time and money by providing shopping coupons and notifications of special deals/discounts available within online shops.
This functionality may seem legitimate and useful, however, this app infiltrates systems without permission. Furthermore, SlikDealer feeds users with intrusive advertisements and collects sensitive data. For these reasons, SlikDealer is categorized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) and adware.
What is "Call Microsoft Support"?
Similar to CRITICAL ALERT FROM MICROSOFT, Windows Firewall Warning Alert, Error 268D3-XC00037, and many others, "Call Microsoft Support" is a fake error displayed by a malicious website that users often visit inadvertently - they are redirected by potentially unwanted programs (PUPs).
In most cases, PUPs infiltrate systems without permission. As well as causing redirects, PUPs deliver intrusive advertisements, gather information, and sometimes run unwanted processes in the background.
