Virus and Spyware Removal Guides, uninstall instructions

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.

What is MacKeeper?

Developed by Zeobit and then acquired by Kromtech, MacKeeper is a legitimate and useful application for Mac users. It provides functionality that allows users to optimize and increase system performance.

Despite this, some MacKeeper affiliates employ dubious/unacceptable measures to proliferate this software. Therefore, it can be classed as potentially unwanted program (PUP).

What is Payerranso?

First discovered by Leo, Payerranso is a ransomware-type virus developed using Microsoft's .Net Framework. Immediately after infiltration, Payerranso encrypts most stored data and appends filenames with the ".payerranso" extension (for example, when encrypted "sample.jpg" becomes "sample.jpg.payerranso").

Once files are encrypted, it is impossible to use them. Furthermore, Payerranso changes the desktop wallpaper and creates a text file ("Message_Important.txt"), placing a copy in every existing folder.

What is billmscurlrev.com?

billmscurlrev.com is a rogue site identical to celeryleek.com, thesterminator.com, questionfly.com, popunderzone.com, and many others. This site redirects to other random websites. Furthermore, users often visit billmscurlrev.com inadvertently - they are redirected by potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) that infiltrate systems without consent.

Research shows that, as well as causing redirects, PUPs deliver intrusive ads, gather sensitive information, and misuse system resources to run unwanted processes.

What is LOCKME?

LOCKME is a ransomware-type virus discovered by Michael Gillespie. Immediately after infiltration, LOCKME encrypts most stored files and appends filenames with the ".lockme" extension (e.g., "sample.jpg" becomes "sample.jpg.lockme"). Henceforth, using files become impossible.

Once the files are encrypted, LOCKME generates a text file ("README_FOR_DECRYPT_YOUR_FILES.txt") and places a copy in every existing folder.

What is chromesearch.online?

Identical to chromesearch.info, chromesearch.win, chromesearch.today, and many others, chromesearch.online is a fake Internet search engine that, according to developers, significantly enhances the browsing experience by generating improved results.

Judging on appearance alone, chromesearch.online may seem similar to Bing, Yahoo, Google, and other legitimate search engines. For this reason, many users believe that chromesearch.online is also legitimate.

In fact, developers promote this site via browser-hijacking download/installation set-ups. Furthermore, it continually records information relating to users' Internet browsing habits.

What is AAC?

First discovered by CyberSecurity, AAC is ransomware-type malware that stealthily infiltrates the system and encrypts most stored data. Immediately after infiltration, files become unusable. In addition, AAC adds the ".aac" extension to the name of each compromised file.

For instance, "sample.jpg" becomes "sample.jpg.aac". Following successful encryption, AAC creates a text file ("Learn how to recover your files.txt") and places a copy in each existing folder.
