Virus and Spyware Removal Guides, uninstall instructions
What is OnlyApplication?
Developers advertise OnlyApplication as a useful tool which provides faster searches, accurate results, and an enhanced browsing experience.
In fact, this program is classified as a potentially unwanted application (PUA), an adware-type app that serves unwanted, intrusive advertisements. PUAs often collect various user-system information. Generally, people download and install adware (and other PUAs) unintentionally.
What is Kuub?
Kuub is malicious software categorized as ransomware. It belongs to the Djvu ransomware family and was discovered by Michael Gillespie. Kuub operates by encrypting victims' files and demanding ransom payments for decryption. I.e., affected users must purchase decryption tools/software and keys from the developers of this malicious program.
During encryption, all files are renamed with the ".kuub" extension. Therefore, "1.jpg" becomes "1.jpg.kuub". After the process is complete, a text file called "_readme.txt" is created and stored in each encrypted folder.
What is FTCODE?
FTCODE ransomware is designed to encrypt data and force victims to pay developers a ransom (purchase decryption software and a key). It renames encrypted files by adding the ".FTCODE" extension to filenames. For example, "1.jpg" becomes "1.jpg.FTCODE".
FTCODE also creates a file named "READ_ME_NOW.htm", which contains instructions about how to pay the ransom.
What kind of malware is Masad?
Masad Stealer is malicious software that, once installed, allows cyber criminals to steal various information/data. Its basic version is free, however, cyber criminals can purchase a 'full version' with more features for $85. Masad Stealer is available for download on hacking forums.
Having a computer infected with this malware can lead to serious problems. Therefore, if there is any reason to believe that Masad Stealer might be installed on your system, remove it immediately.
What is hp.myway.com?
MyChristianPortal is a potentially unwanted application (PUA) that is categorized as a browser hijacker. MyChristianPortal (and many other apps of this type) is developed by Mindspark Interactive Network. It changes browser settings to promote hp.myway.com, the address of a fake search engine.
Additionally, this app records details relating to users' browsing habits. People generally download and install browser hijackers inadvertently when they are tricked.
What is ExtraWindow?
ExtraWindow is an adware-type application that apparently enhances the browsing experience. It is allegedly capable of providing fast searches, accurate search results, etc.
ExtraWindow operates by displaying various intrusive advertisements. This app is also classified as a potentially unwanted application (PUA), since most users install it unintentionally. I.e. they are tricked to install. Note that adware often has data tracking abilities.
What is bestlandcn[.]com?
Typically, bestlandcn[.]com is opened on iPhones or iPads, however, it might also target Mac users. This is a deceptive website used to advertise an app called Hi VPN. Note that bestlandcn[.]com is also a scam website which notifies visitors that it has 'detected' viruses on their devices.
We strongly advise against using or trusting this or other similar websites. Do not download apps that are promoted through these sites, since they are commonly opened by potentially unwanted apps (PUAs) installed on the device, through other dubious web pages, or via clicked dubious ads.
What is hp.myway.com?
EntertainmentNewsNow is one of many apps designed by Mindspark Interactive Network. This particular app supposedly provides the latest entertainment news, however, it is a potentially unwanted application (PUA), a browser hijacker that changes browser settings to promote the hp.myway.com fake search engine.
Typically, browser hijackers also gather information relating to users. In most cases, people download and install apps such as EntertainmentNewsNow unintentionally when they are tricked.
What is Badday?
Discovered by dnwls0719, Badday is malicious software belonging to the Globeimposter ransomware family. This ransomware encrypts data and keeps it locked, unless a ransom is paid (i.e., the decryption tool/software is purchased). During the encryption progress, Badday renames files with the ".badday" extension.
Therefore, "1.jpg" is renamed to "1.jpg.badday". Once the process is complete, this malicious program creates an HTML file called "how_to_back_files.html" and stores it on the victim's desktop. The file contains the ransom message.
What is Galacti-Crypter?
Galacti-Crypter (GalactiCrypter) ransomware was discovered by MalwareHunterTeam. This is a malicious program that renders victims' files inaccessible by encoding them with a strong encryption algorithm. It displays a ransom message in a pop-up window and renames all files by adding a string of random characters to their filenames (such as "ENCx45cR").
For example, a file named "1.jpg" might be renamed to "ENCx45cR1.jpg.". Typically, it is impossible to decrypt files without specific tools that can be purchased only from cyber criminals who designed the ransomware.
