What is goodworldsearch.com?
Developers present goodworldsearch.com as an "improved" Internet search engine that significantly enhances the browsing experience by generating better results. Judging on appearance alone, goodworldsearch.com barely differs from legitimate search engines such as Google, Bing, or Yahoo.
Therefore, many users believe that goodworldsearch.com is also legitimate. In fact, this website continually tracks browsing activity and is promoted via rogue download/installation set-ups that hijack web browsers and stealthily modify various options.
What is syndication.exdynsrv.com?
Identical to click.fancywap.com, witchcraftcash.com, adnetworkperformance.com, and many other sites, syndication.exdynsrv.com is a rogue website designed to redirect users to a variety of other suspicious sites.
Users are redirected to syndication.exdynsrv.com by potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) that stealthily infiltrate systems during installation of regular software (the "bundling" method). As well as causing redirects, PUPs generate intrusive online advertisements and continually record various user-system information.
What is Ransomware Attack Warning Alert?
"Ransomware Attack Warning Alert" is a fake pop-up error message displayed by a malicious website that users often visit inadvertently - they are redirected by various potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) that infiltrate systems without consent (the "bundling" method).
Be aware that these PUPs also deliver intrusive online advertisements and continually record various user-system information.
What is Random6?
Random6 is a ransomware-type virus discovered by malware security researcher, Marcelo Rivero. Following successful infiltration, Random6 encrypts various data and renames files using the "[random_characters].[6_character_ID]" pattern. For instance, "sample.jpg" might be renamed to a filename such as "Mi5qcGc=.tnevow".
Once files are encrypted, Random6 creates a text file ("RESTORE-[6_character_ID]-FILES.txt"), placing it in each folder containing encrypted files.
What is search.ssoextension.com?
Developers present search.ssoextension.com as a "high-experience" Internet search engine that supposedly enhances the browsing experience by generating improved results.
Judging on appearance alone, search.ssoextension.com may seem legitimate and useful, however, this website is promoted via a deceptive browser extension (SpecialSearchOffer), which, in turn, is distributed via rogue download/installation set-ups (the "bundling" method).
In addition, search.ssoextension.com continually records various information relating to users' Internet browsing activity.
What is ViACrypt?
Discovered by MalwareHunterTeam, ViACrypt is a ransomware-type virus that stealthily infiltrates systems and encrypts various data. In doing so, ViACrypt appends names of encrypted files with the ".via" extension (for example, "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.via").
ViACrypt then creates two files ("your_encryption_public_key.rkf" and "your system has been encrypted! please read further instruction!.txt"), placing them on the desktop.
What is hp.myway.com?
TrackaPackage is developed by Mindspark Interactive Network. It is advertised as an app that helps users to track their shipments quickly and easily. TrackaPackage is a browser hijacker. It is because this app changes browser's settings to promote a fake search engine (hp.myway.com). Also, it collects various information.
Typically, users do not remember installing browser hijackers/users download and install them unintentionally. Therefore, apps of this type (including the TrackaPackage browser hijacker) are called potentially unwanted applications (PUAs).
What is Karo?
Karo is a ransomware-type virus discovered by malware security researchers, MalwareHunterTeam. Once infiltrated, Karo encrypts various files and appends filenames with the ".ipygh" extension (for example, "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.ipygh"). Karo then creates an HTML file ("ReadMe.html"), placing it in each folder containing encrypted files.
What is AdsKeeper?
AdsKeeper is a legitimate advertising network, however, research shows that it is used by various potentially unwanted adware-type programs (PUPs). These applications often infiltrate systems without users' permission. Following successful infiltration, adware generates intrusive online advertisements ( AdsKeeper ads), and collects various information relating to users' Internet browsing activity.
What is hp.myway.com?
ProductManualsFinder is a deceptive application that falsely claims to provide access to thousands of technical manuals. Initially, this app may seem legitimate and useful, however, it usually infiltrates systems without consent.
Furthermore, it stealthily modifies web browser settings and continually records various user-system information. For these reasons, ProductManualsFinder is categorized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) and a browser hijacker.
