What is Websitetrafficgo?
websitetrafficgo is a scam site used to advertise dubious software. Scammers designed this website to display a fake virus alert message and, thus, people who who arrive at this web page often believe that their computers are infected. Visitors are encouraged to remove the 'detected virus' with a program called Smart Mac Booster.
Do not take the Websitetrafficgo scam seriously or download software advertised through the site. The same applies to any other similar scam pages.
What is hp.myway.com?
GetSeniorResources is a rogue application, advertised as a tool for finding health resources and financial planning information for seniors and people born from mid-40s to mid-60s ("baby boomer" generation). It is considered a PUA (potentially unwanted application), due to the fact that many users install it inadvertently.
Additionally, it is a browser hijacker, accompanied by hp.myway.com - a fake search engine. GetSeniorResources may also have data-tracking abilities.
What is Silenced?
Silenced ransomware was discovered by Jack. Like most programs of this type, it is designed to encrypt data and rename all locked files.
It adds the ".try" extension to filenames. For example, "1.jpg" becomes "1.jpg.try". To recover their files, victims are encouraged to purchase a decryption tool from the cyber criminals who designed Silenced ransomware. I.e., they are forced to pay a ransom. Silenced changes the desktop wallpaper by applying an image with instructions about how to pay the ransom.
What is hp.myway.com?
FreeTemplateFinder is a rogue application, categorized as a PUA (potentially unwanted application) and functioning as a browser hijacker. It advertised as a free app, for finding and personalizing various printable templates, with a supplementary fake search engine (hp.myway.com).
FreeTemplateFinder is another product from the Mindspark Interactive Network. Its classification as a PUA is due to the fact that most users download this app inadvertently. As a browser hijacker it changes browser settings and may also have data tracking capabilities.
What is Laturo?
Laturo is a malicious program that cyber criminals use to steal sensitive information. Their main goal is to acquire as much information as possible so that it can be used to generate revenue in fraudulent ways.

What is hp.myway.com?
Another rogue application, developed by Mindspark Interactive Network, FreeAuctionFinder is advertised as a free tool for finding relevant and latest auctions.
It is also accompanied by a fake search engine (hp.myway.com). Classified as a PUA (potentially unwanted application) and a browser hijacker, FreeAuctionFinder is frequently installed unintentionally. It makes changes to browser settings and it is not unlikely that it has data tracking capabilities also.
What is "ERROR # ER36dx9832(3)"?
"ERROR # ER36dx9832(3)" is a fake error message that is displayed on a tech-support scam website. Typically, scammers use websites of this type to trick people into calling the number provided. Do not trust this, or other similar scam messages. More importantly, do not call these scammers.
People do not generally visit these pages intentionally - browsers usually open them due to potentially unwanted applications (PUA) installed on the browser or operating system.
What is Tanos?
Discovered by Michael Gillespie, Tanos is malicious software that belongs to the GlobeImposter ransomware family. Typically, people with computers infected with ransomware cannot access or use their files, since these programs encrypt them using various encryption algorithms.
To regain access to their files, victims are encouraged to purchase a decryption tool and/or key (i.e., they must pay a ransom). In this case, instructions are provided in the "how_to_back_files.html" file. Additionally, Tanos renames each encrypted file by adding the ".tanos" extension to the filename. For example, "1.jpg" becomes "1.jpg.tanos".
What is hp.myway.com?
FreeArticleSkimmer is a rogue application, advertised as a text skimming/searching tool for webpages, accompanied by a fake search engine. It is categorized as a PUA (potentially unwanted application), due to its ability to invade systems without user permission.
It is also a browser hijacker, as it makes unauthorized changes to browsers and monitors browsing activity. Developed by Mindspark Interactive Network, it is designed to appear absolutely legitimate and highly functional, as most of this network's products.
What is Goodmen?
Goodmen is a ransomware infection that was discovered by S!Ri. Typically, programs of this type are designed to encrypt victims' files and block access to them. To decrypt their data, victims are encouraged to purchase a decryption tool or key from the cyber criminals who designed the program.
Instructions about how to unlock files encrypted with Goodmen ransomware are provided in a text file named "Restore-My-Files.txt", which can be found in folders that contain encrypted files. This ransomware renames all encrypted files by adding the ".good" extension. For example, "1.jpg" becomes "1.jpg.good".
