What is search.dsearchm3f2.com?

What is Wana Decrypt0r?

First discovered by S!Ri, Wana Decrypt0r is a new variant of a high-risk ransomware called WannaCry. Once infiltrated, Wana Decrypt0r encrypts most files and appends filenames with the ".wannacry" extension (e.g., "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.wannacry").

From this point, files become unusable. Following successful encryption, Wana Decrypt0r changes the desktop wallpaper and opens a pop-up window, both containing ransom-demand messages.

What is search.hemailinboxlogin.com?

Developers present Email Inbox Login as a legitimate application that provides quick access to emails. This functionality may seem legitimate and useful, however, Email Inbox Login is classified as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) and a browser hijacker.

There are three main reasons for these negative associations: 1) stealth installation without users' consent; 2) modification of web browser settings, and; 3) tracking of sensitive data.

What is David?

David is another ransomware-type virus discovered by malware security researcher, Martin Stopka. Once infiltrated, David encrypts stored data and adds the ".david" extension to the name of each compromised file. For instance, "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.david".

Encrypted files become unusable. After successful encryption, David creates a text file ("get_my_files.txt") and places a copy in every existing folder.

What is search.snowballsam.com?

What is search.seemoviesonline.stream?

Identical to kshowonline.stream, hidemysearch.com, hideyoursearch.win, and many others, search.seemoviesonline.stream is a fake Internet search engine that, according to the developers, significantly enhances the browsing experience by generating improved results. 

Judging on appearance alone, search.seemoviesonline.stream barely differs from legitimate search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo, and so on.

Therefore, many users believe that search.seemoviesonline.stream is also legitimate, however, developers promote this site using a browser-hijacking application called seemoviesonline. In addition, search.seemoviesonline.stream and seemoviesonline record sensitive data (mostly relating to web browsing habits).

What is Tornado?

Tornado is a ransomware-type virus discovered by malware security researcher Martin Stopka.

Once infiltrated, Tornado encrypts most stored files and appends filenames with the ".[dongeswas@tutanota.com].Tornado" extension (e.g., "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.[dongeswas@tutanota.com].Tornado"). From this point, files become unusable. Furthermore, Tornado creates a text file ("key.txt") and places a copy in each existing folder.

What is search.playzonenow.com?

According to the developers, the search.playzonenow.com search engine enhances the Internet browsing experience by generating improved results. Judging on appearance alone, search.playzonenow.com barely differs from Google, Bing, Yahoo, and other legitimate search engines.

Therefore, many users believe that this site is also legitimate. In fact, developers promote search.playzonenow.com using a browser hijacker called PlayZoneNow. Furthermore, the site records various user-system information relating to browsing activity.

What is TBlocker?

First discovered by Leo, TBlocker is a ransomware-type virus designed to encrypt a number of data types. During encryption, TBlocker appends the "_" character to the name of each compromised file. For example, "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg_". Once files are encrypted, using them becomes impossible.

After successfully encrypting files, TBlocker locks the computer screen and displays a ransom-demand message. Note that the lock screen is displayed only once - rebooting the system will remove the screenlock. Yet, the files will remain encrypted.
