What is Supreme Savings?

Commonly, the Supreme Savings plug-in self-installs together with free software downloaded from the Internet.

While some Internet users may find such price comparison ads useful, many report that Save Valet was installed on their browsers without their consent.

What is 22Apple.com?

The 22Apple.com website was created by Hong Kong Banyan Tree Technology Co. Ltd. This site offers users shortcuts to various popular websites (such as Facebook, Gmail, Twitter, etc.) and a search bar, which uses a customized Yahoo! search engine.

Many Internet users report that they have installed the Coupish browser add-on inadvertently and prefer to shop online without add-ons.

What is United Kingdom Police?

What is FBI Cybercrime Division?

The FBI Cybercrime Division message blocks computer users' screens, stating that the block was applied for alleged illegal download of music and video files.

No international authorities use screen-blocking messages such as this to collect fines for any law violations. The FBI Cybercrime Division ransomware demands payment of a $300 fine in order to unlock the user's PC, but note that paying this fine is equivalent to sending your money to Cyber criminals - with no guarantee that the computer will be unlocked.
