Virus and Spyware Removal Guides, uninstall instructions
What is Unzippy?
Unzippy is another rogue app owned by the InstallCore adware family. It supposedly allows extraction and compression of data. Therefore, many users believe that Unzippy is legitimate and useful, however, it is categorized as a potentially unwanted application (PUA) and adware.
Unzippy often infiltrates systems without users’ permission, continually delivers intrusive advertisements, and gathers sensitive information.
What is TrojanDownloader:PDF/Domepidief.A?
TrojanDownloader:PDF/Domepidief.A is a high-risk trojan that originates from Emotet malware family and proliferated using spam email campaigns. Unlike previous Emotet variants, TrojanDownloader:PDF/Domepidief.A's distribution method is slightly different.
Rather than attaching a malicious Microsoft Office document, cyber criminals attach a deceptive PDF document that contains a download link to the document.
What is Invoice Attached - FINAL NOTICE?
"Invoice Attached - FINAL NOTICE" is another spam email campaign used to distribute a high-risk trojan called TrickBot. It is very similar to "Payroll Timetable Email Virus", "Companies House Email Virus", and many others.
Cyber criminals often send thousands of deceptive emails encouraging users to open attached Microsoft Office documents, however, this results in infiltration of TrickBot.
What is Please Report This Activity?
Similar to "Virus Is Sending Your Information To Hackers", "Your System Data Has Been Compromized", and many others, "Please Report This Activity" is a fake error message delivered by various deceptive websites.
Visitors generally arrive at these sites inadvertently - they are redirected by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) or intrusive ads delivered by other rogue sites. Be aware that potentially unwanted applications usually infiltrate systems without users’ permission. As well as causing redirects, they deliver intrusive advertisements and gather sensitive information.
What is Monro?
First discovered by malware security researcher, Jakub Kroustek, Monro is a high-risk ransomware-type virus that originates from Dharma malware family. After successfully infiltrating the system, Monro encrypts most stored data and appends filenames with the "id-[victim's_ID].[icrypt@cock.li].monro" extension.
For instance, "sample.jpg" might be renamed to a filename such as "sample.jpg.id-1E857D00.[icrypt@cock.li].monro". Once encryption is complete, Monro creates an HTML application ("Info.hta") and a text file ("FILES ENCRYPTED.txt"). The HTML application (essentially a pop-up window) is executed automatically.
What is Internet Booster?
Developers present Internet Booster as a legitimate application that optimizes Internet connections and increases download performance. Initially, Internet Booster may seem legitimate, however, developers proliferate this app using a deceptive marketing method called "bundling".
Therefore, in some cases, Internet Booster infiltrates systems without permission and is thus categorized as a potentially unwanted application (PUA).
What is Video AdBlocker?
Video AdBlocker is a rogue application/browser extension identical to Facebook AdBlocker. This app offers functionality that supposedly blocks advertisements on the YouTube website. Judging on appearance alone, Video AdBlocker may seem to be a useful application, however, it is categorized as a potentially unwanted application (PUA) and adware.
The main reasons for these negative associations are: 1) stealth installation without users' consent; 2) display of intrusive advertisements, and; 3) potential tracking of browsing activity.
What is notification-browser.com?
notification-browser.com is another rogue website (virtually identical to trying.com, websnewsdate.com, cprmatix.com, and many others) that causes redirects to other untrustworthy and potentially malicious sites. Users often visit this website unintentionally - potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) force redirects to it.
In most cases, PUAs are designed to cause unwanted redirects, collect data, and deliver advertisements.
What is crtmatix.com?
The Internet is full of rogue websites (such as trying.com, websnewsdate.com, cprmatix.com, and so on) that are very similar or even identical to crtmatix.com. This website causes redirects to various other untrustworthy sites. Most users arrive at crtmatix.com unintentionally.
Potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) force redirects to it. Many users install PUAs inadvertently. These rogue applications also deliver intrusive advertisements and record user-system information.
What is artnewsupdate.info?
artnewsupdate.info is one of many rogue websites available. It is virtually identical to trying.com, websnewsdate.com, cprmatix.com, and many others.
The site causes redirects to various other untrustworthy sites. In most cases, users do not visit artnewsupdate.info intentionally - they are redirected to it by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) known to cause unwanted redirects, deliver ads, and gather data.
