Virus and Spyware Removal Guides, uninstall instructions
What is searchberry.co?
searchberry.co is the web address of a fake search engine, however, developers present it as a legitimate and useful search tool. Typically, search engines of this kind are promoted through browser hijackers (in this case, the Searchberry Home Page app).
This app promotes searchberry.co by changing browser settings. Additionally, browser hijackers and fake search engines often record data. Browser hijackers are also termed potentially unwanted applications (PUAs), since most users download and install them inadvertently.
What is How To DIY?
The How To DIY app is designed to provide links to web pages that contain information about how to learn virtually anything. In fact, this is a browser hijacker.
Apps of this type change browser settings and perform information tracking. Most people download and install browser hijackers unintentionally, and for this reason, they are categorized as potentially unwanted applications (PUAs).
What is falseortruerdr?
Scammers use the falseortruerdr web page to promote an unwanted application called Smart Mac Booster. Note that falseorrealrdr is a scam site used to trick people into believing that their computers are infected with a virus that can be removed using the aforementioned application.
Do not trust this or other similar web pages (or download software from them). These sites are opened by PUAs (potentially unwanted applications) that users install on their browsers or operating systems (often, unintentionally).
What is Krusop?
Belonging to the Djvu ransomware family, Krusop is a high-risk ransomware infection discovered by Michael Gillespie. The purpose of this ransomware is to stealthily infiltrate computers and encrypt data (thereby rendering it unusable) so that developers can make ransom demands by offering paid recovery of files.
During encryption, Krusop adds the ".krusop" appendix to each filename (e.g., "sample.jpg" becomes "sample.jpg.krusop"). Additionally, Krusop stores a ransom message ("_readme.txt") in most existing folders.
What is a TeamViewer scam?
TeamViewer is legitimate software used to connect to remote computers, provide remote support, transfer files between different computers, and so on, however, scammers use this software for malicious purposes. They often trick people into installing TeamViewer using various scam websites.
One example is a tech-support scam site claiming that the visitor's computer might be at risk. People do not generally visit websites of this kind intentionally - they are opened by potentially unwanted applications installed on browsers and operating systems.
What is GoToAssist scam?
GoToAssist (now called RescueAssist) is a legitimate remote support platform that is used mainly by customer support organizations and support teams, however, scammers also use this platform. In this case, they attempt to trick people into downloading and installing GoToAssist using a tech-support scam web page.
This site implies that visitors' computers are infected with viruses and encourages them to use the aforementioned software to solve the problem/remove detected viruses. Most people do not visit these websites intentionally - they are redirected to them by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs).
What is MyPDFConverter?
MyPDFConverter is yet another browser-hijacking application that supposedly allows users to convert file formats to and from PDF. Its appearance suggests that MyPDFConverter is legitimate and useful, however, this application promotes two websites: mypdfconverter.net and gosearchsafely.com.
Additionally, mypdfconverter.net gathers various user-information and is thus categorized as a potentially unwanted application (PUA) and a browser hijacker.
What is World Time News?
World Time News is a browser hijacker, a potentially unwanted application (PUA), however, developers present it as a useful app that allows users to access various news pages. In fact, this browser hijacker changes browsers settings, promotes the app.worldtime.news fake search engine, and gathers information relating to users' browsing habits.
It is categorized as a PUA, since most people download and install apps such as World Time News unintentionally.
What is Directions and Maps Plus?
Directions And Maps Plus is presented as a legitimate and useful app that can supposedly find faster routes to any destination.
In fact, it is classified as a potentially unwanted app (PUA), a browser hijacker. Typically, people install PUAs unintentionally. When installed, they change browser settings to promote fake search engines and collect information relating to users' browsing habits.
What is hajoopteg.com?
hajoopteg.com is one of many rogue websites on the internet. Other examples include lythenheckwo.info, time2notification.com, and push-checking.com.
Note that hajoopteg.com redirects visitors to other potentially malicious, untrustworthy websites. People do not generally open this site intentionally - they are redirected to it by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) that they install unintentionally. PUAs often perform more than one function and can gather information and deliver advertisements.
