What is safe.search.tools?
safe.search.tools is presented as a "high-quality" Internet search engine that supposedly generates improved results, thereby enhancing the browsing experience. Judging on appearance alone, this site barely differs from legitimate search engines such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo.

On initial inspection, Tabs2Grid may appear legitimate and useful, however, this app often infiltrates systems without consent.

For these reasons, Tabs2Grid is categorized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) and adware.

What is Il computer è stato BLOCCATO?
"Il computer è stato BLOCCATO" is a fake pop-up error message displayed by a deceptive website that users often visit inadvertently - they are redirected by various potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) that infiltrate systems without permission (the "bundling" method).
In addition to issuing unwanted redirects, PUPs deliver intrusive advertisements and continually record various user-system information.
What is MoonCrypter?
First discovered by malware security researcher, Karsten Hahn, MoonCrypter is a virus based on an open-source ransomware project called Hidden Tear. Once infiltrated, MoonCrypter encrypts stored data using RSA-1024 and AES-256 encryption algorithms.
During encryption, the virus appends filenames with the ".cmoon" extension (for example, "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.cmoon"). Following successful encryption, MoonCrypter opens a pop-up window and creates two text files: "_readmyransom.txt" (placed in each existing folder) and "ReadIt.txt" (placed on the desktop).
