Virus and Spyware Removal Guides, uninstall instructions

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?

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".
