What is Qnbqw?
Qnbqw is a ransomware-type virus recently discovered by Michael Gillespie. Once infiltrated, the virus encrypts most stored files using AES-256 cryptography and appends filenames with the ".qnbqw" extension. For instance, "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.qnbqw".
Immediately after encryption, data becomes unusable and Qnbqw generates a text file ("Notice.txt"), placing a copy in every existing folder.

Furthermore, note that tudonav.com gathers various information relating to users' Internet browsing activity.
What is Leen?
First discovered by malware security researcher, Michael Gillespie, Leen is a ransomware-type virus that originates from the Scarab malware family. Once infiltrated, Leen encrypts most stored files and adds the ".leen" extension to the name of each encrypted file (e.g., "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.leen").
Following successful encryption, Leen generates a text file ("INSTRUCTIONS FOR RESTORING FILES.TXT") and places a copy in every existing folder.

What is qogotte.com?

What is greatdexchange.com?
greatdexchange.com is a rogue site virtually identical to onclickbright.com, bestadbid.com, dealclicks.us, and many others. It redirects visitors to other dubious (potentially, malicious) websites. Research shows that most users visit greatdexchange.com inadvertently.
They are redirected by potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) or intrusive ads generated by other deceptive sites. Furthermore, PUPs infiltrate systems without consent. As well as causing redirects, they deliver intrusive advertisements and continually gather sensitive information.
What is DBGer?
Developed using EternalBlue and Mimikatz, DBGer is a ransomware-type virus discovered by MalwareHunterTeam. Immediately after infiltration, DBGer encrypts most stored files and renames them using the "[[dbger@protonmail.com]][original_filename].dbger" pattern.
For example, "sample.jpg" is renamed to "[dbger@protonmail.com]sample.jpg.dbger". Compromised data immediately becomes unusable. Following successful encryption, DBGer generates a text file ("_How_to_decrypt_files.txt") and opens it automatically. This ransomware was firstly discovered by MalwareHunterTeam.
What is Google Image Downloader?
Google Image Downloader is a deceptive application that supposedly allows users to download images from Google's image search feature. Judging on appearance alone, Google Image Downloader may seem legitimate and useful, however, this app is categorized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) and adware.
There are three main reasons for these negative associations: 1) stealth installation without consent; 2) tracking of Internet browsing activity, and; 3) display of intrusive advertisements.
