Virus and Spyware Removal Guides, uninstall instructions

What is ormalsciple[.]info?

There are many rogue websites similar to ormalsciple[.]info. For example, find-soulmates[.]com, histleolderlandch[.]info and best-girls-ever.com. When visited, websites of this type open other rogue sites or load dubious content. These sites are commonly opened by potentially unwanted apps (PUAs) installed on browsers or operating systems.

In most cases, people download and install PUAs inadvertently. Furthermore, they are often designed to display ads and gather information relating to browsing habits.

What is Redl?

Belonging to the Stop/Djvu ransomware family, Redl is malicious software designed to encrypt the data of infected devices in order for its developers to then demand payment for decryption tools. When Redl encrypts data, all affected files are appended with the ".redl" extension.

For example, "1.jpg" would appear as "1.jpg.redl", and so on. Once this process is complete, a text file named "_readme.txt", which contains the ransom message, is stored on the desktop.

What is Barosearch by APP?

Barosearch by APP is a browser hijacker, which is virtually identical to a number of other apps of this type including Newfinder APP and PreApp. Typically, apps of this type are designed to promote fake search engines by changing certain browser settings. Barosearch by APP promotes searchnewworld.com in this way. 

Note that this address is also opened through other dubious sites such as barosearch.com, my-search.com and searchroute-1560352588.us-west-2.elb.amazonaws.com.

Most browser hijackers not only promote various fake search engines, but also gather browsing data. Typically, people download and/or install browser hijackers unintentionally and, for this reason, they are also known as potentially unwanted applications (PUAs).

What is Safe Browsing by Safely?

Safe Browsing by Safely is categorized as a browser hijacker, since it changes certain browser settings so that users are forced to visit the address of a fake search engine. Furthermore, apps of this type usually gather browsing data. They are also known as potentially unwanted applications (PUAs), as people often download and install them inadvertently.

What is Piny?

Piny is malicious software belonging to the Djvu ransomware family. Devices infected with this malware have their data encrypted. The purpose of these attacks is for the cyber criminals behind them to demand ransom payments for decryption tools/software.

When Piny encrypts, all affected files are renamed with the ".piny" extension. I.e., a filename such as "1.jpg" would appear as "1.jpg.piny" following encryption. After this process is complete, a text file named "_readme.txt" is created on the desktop.

What is slimsk[.]pro?

There are many rogue websites similar to slimsk[.]pro on the internet. Other examples are find-soulmates[.]com, best-girls-ever[.]com and hellopushworld[.]com. 

These sites load dubious content or redirect visitors to other untrustworthy websites. Generally, they are opened by browsers when potentially unwanted apps (PUAs) are installed on them. Therefore, people do not visit pages such as slimsk[.]pro intentionally. Most PUAs open dubious web pages, collect data and display advertisements.

What is CHERNOLOCKER?

CHERNOLOCKER ransomware was discovered by S!Ri. It encrypts victims' files (rendering them inaccessible) and renames them by adding "(.CHERNOLOCKER)" to their filenames. For instance, "1.jpg" becomes "1.jpg(.CHERNOLOCKER)", and so on.

Furthermore, CHERNOLOCKER displays a pop-up window and creates the "landing-screenshot-img-9-768.jpg" file. It stores this .jpg file on the victim's desktop and opens a website that contains the same image.

What is message-alert[.]info?

message-alert[.]info is similar to many other rogue web pages. For example, find-soulmates[.]com, histleolderlandch[.]info and best-girls-ever[.]com.

All of these websites load dubious content or redirect visitors to other untrustworthy sites. Generally, browsers open sites such as message-alert[.]info when potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) are installed on them. Most PUAs serve intrusive ads and gather information (browsing data and other details).

What is Newfinder APP?

Newfinder APP is a rogue application, identical to the PreApp browser hijacker. Since most users installing this app unintentionally, Newfinder APP is also categorized as a Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA). Browser hijackers operate by modifying browsers to promote their fake search engines.

Newfinder APP promotes searchnewworld.com in this way. Prior to opening this site, however, it causes a redirection chain comprising of untrustworthy addresses such as my-search.com and searchroute-1560352588.us-west-2.elb.amazonaws.com, and finally culminating in searchnewworld.com.

As well as generating these unwanted redirects, this app also monitors browsing activity.

What is find-soulmates[.]com?

find-soulmates[.]com is a rogue website that, if visited, leads to other untrustworthy websites or loads dubious content. Generally, people do not visit these sites intentionally - they are opened by potentially unwanted apps (PUAs) installed on computers and/or browsers.

These apps are usually installed without users' knowledge (often, installed inadvertently). Most PUAs force users to visit rogue web pages, display advertisements and gather data relating to browsing habits. Some examples of web pages similar to find-soulmates[.]com are best-girls-ever[.]com, hellopushworld[.]com and ultimate-captcha[.]com.
