Virus and Spyware Removal Guides, uninstall instructions

What is ursorsee.pro?

Very similar (or even identical) to trying.com, websnewsdate.com, cprmatix.com, and many others, ursorsee.pro is a rogue website that redirects visitors to other untrustworthy/potentially malicious sites. Most users arrive at ursorsee.pro unintentionally - potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) cause redirects to it.

Most users install PUAs inadvertently. As well as causing redirects, they deliver intrusive ads and collect data.

What is booking.com?

booking.com helps people to find hotels, flights, car rentals, and other similar travel-related services. This site is legitimate, but criminals generate revenue by promoting booking.com affiliate links via fake Adobe Flash Player updaters.

The same tools are also used to distribute various potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) that cause unwanted redirects, deliver intrusive advertisements, gather sensitive information, and promote in-app purchases.

What is tweakbit.com?

Like most rogue websites (such as trying.com, websnewsdate.com, cprmatix.com, etc.), tweakbit.com is designed to redirect visitors to other untrustworthy sites.

 Most users visit tweakbit.com unintentionally - they are redirected to it by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) that are installed without users' consent/inadvertently. PUAs of this type also deploy advertisements and gather user-system data.

What is IT.Books?

Discovered by MalwareHunterTeam, IT.Books is high-risk ransomware designed to infiltrate systems and encrypt most stored data, thereby making it unusable. During encryption, IT.Books appends the ".f*cked" extension to the name of each compromised file. For example, "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.f*cked".

Once data is encrypted, IT.Books generates a text file ("READ__IT.txt"), placing a copy in every existing folder, changes the desktop wallpaper, and opens a pop-up window.

Research shows that some of the IT.Books ransomware source code is lifted from an open-source ransomware project called Hidden Tear. Moreover, the aforementioned pop-up window is virtually identical to that displayed by Jigsaw ransomware.

What is Facebook AdBlocker?

Facebook AdBlocker is a deceptive application/browser add-on that, according to the developers, blocks advertisements displayed on the Facebook social network. On initial inspection, Facebook AdBlocker may seem legitimate and useful, however, this add-on is categorized as adware and a potentially unwanted application (PUA).

There are three main reasons for these negative associations: 1) installation without users' consent; 2) display of intrusive advertisements, and; 3) monitoring of browsing activity.

What is SAVEfiles?

SAVEfiles is high-risk ransomware discovered by malware security researcher, Michael Gillespie. After successfully infiltrating the system, SAVEfiles encrypts most stored data and appends filenames with the ".SAVEfiles" extension. For instance, "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.SAVEfiles".

Encrypted data instantly becomes unusable. As well as compromising files, SAVEfiles generates a text file (named "!!!SAVE_FILES_INFO!!!.txt") and places a copy in every existing folder.

What is The Brotherhood?

The Brotherhood is another ransomware-type virus discovered by MalwareHunterTeam. After successful infiltration, The Brotherhood encrypts most stored data, thereby making it impossible to use.

During encryption, the virus appends filenames with the ".ransomcrypt" extension (for instance, "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.ransomcrypt") and then places an image file ("RansomNote.jpg") on the desktop.

What is MyloBot?

MyloBot is a high-risk trojan-type virus that allows cyber criminals to control the infected machine. MyloBot can be considered as a botnet, since all infected computers are connected to a single network. Depending on cyber criminals' goals, infected machines might be misused or have additional infections applied.

What is hp.myway.com?

OnTargetYoga is a dubious application developed by Mindspark Interactive Network that offers various yoga/meditation tips, thereby attempting to give the impression of legitimacy. In fact, this app is likely to infiltrate systems without permission.

Furthermore, it promotes a dubious search engine - hp.myway.com. Therefore, OnTargetYoga is classed as a potentially unwanted application (PUA) and a browser hijacker.

What is hp.myway.com?

Developed by the Mindspark Interactive Network, QuickPDFMerger is a deceptive application that supposedly allows users to view and manage PDF files. Judging on appearance alone, QuickPDFMerger may seem legitimate and useful. However, this app is likely to infiltrate systems without permission.

Furthermore, developers use it to promote a dubious search engine. Due to this, QuickPDFMerger is categorized as a Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA) and a browser hijacker.
