How to remove "Nviqri Someq Utils" unwanted app

What kind of application is Nviqri Someq Utils?

While investigating rogue websites, our researchers discovered the Nviqri Someq Utils PUA (Potentially Unwanted Application). After analyzing this software, we determined that it infiltrates the Legion Loader malware into systems.

Nviqri Someq Utils overview

Usually, Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs) possess undesirable or even dangerous capabilities. Nviqri Someq Utils acts as a dropper for Legion Loader, i.e., the app introduces this malware into the system.

Legion Loader is a malicious program designed to cause chain infections; it has been observed infiltrating various trojans, data stealers, ransomware, cryptocurrency miners, and so on. This loader has also installed malicious extensions onto Google Chrome browsers, which operated by collecting browsing histories, stealing email contents, and turning browsers into HTTP proxies to abuse Internet resources (proxyware).

It is noteworthy that installation setups like the one promoting Nviqri Someq Utils often include additional software, such as other PUAs, adware, or browser hijackers.

To summarize, the presence of unwanted programs on devices can lead to system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Similar application examples

We have examined numerous unwanted apps; Ginapc Quor Utils, Tasjoc Tools Quato, Crowq Utils Sol, and Heizer Kroop Sortic are merely some of our latest articles on Legion Loader droppers.

It is standard for PUAs to be disguised as legitimate and useful software. However, the promised functionalities seldom work as advertised, and in most cases – they are completely nonoperational. Keep in mind that even if a piece of software works exactly as described by its promotional material – that is not definitive proof of either legitimacy or safety.

How did potentially unwanted applications install on my computer?

We downloaded an installer containing Nviqri Someq Utils from the appglobal[.]monster rogue page. Unwanted apps can be promoted through various deceptive websites, which are primarily accessed via redirects caused by intrusive ads, spam browser notifications, sites utilizing rogue advertising networks, misspelled URLs, and adware.

Unwanted or malicious software can also be packed into installation setups of ordinary programs ("bundling"). The threat of inadvertently allowing bundled content into the system is increased by downloading from dubious channels (e.g., freeware and third-party sites, P2P sharing networks, etc.) and by rushing through installations (e.g., using "Quick/Easy" settings, etc.).

Additionally, intrusive ads proliferate unwanted software. When clicked on, some of these adverts can execute scripts to perform sneaky downloads/installations.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

We strongly advise researching software and downloading it only from official/verified sources. Installations must be approached with caution, e.g., by studying terms and options, using the "Custom/Advanced" settings, and opting out of supplementary apps, extensions, tools, etc.

Furthermore, vigilance is paramount when browsing since fraudulent and malicious online content usually appears legitimate and harmless. For example, while intrusive ads may look innocuous – they redirect to unreliable and questionable websites (e.g., gambling, scam-promoting, pornography, etc.).

Should you keep encountering advertisements/redirects of this kind, check the system and immediately remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins. If your computer is already infected with PUAs, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
