ProMediaConverter Ads

What is ProMediaConverter?

ProMediaConverter (also known as ProMediaConverter Promoter) supposedly operates as a file converter that supports various file formats, including audio and video files.

It is promoted as tool that converts files directly from the browser, however, note that this application is classified as adware, a potentially unwanted application (PUA) that feeds users with advertisements. Additionally, this PUA gathers information (browsing data).

   
Get Easy Coupons Browser Hijacker

What is Get Easy Coupons?

Get Easy Coupons is yet another browser-hijacking application that supposedly provides various online shopping coupons and discounts.

Judging on  appearance alone, Get Easy Coupons may seem legitimate and useful, however, this potentially unwanted application (PUA) promotes a fake search engine (search.hgeteasycouponsnow.com) and gathers information. Additionally, it is known to infiltrate computers without users' consent.

   
Myskle Ransomware

What is Myskle?

Myskle is one of many ransomware-type programs designed to prevent victims from accessing their files unless they pay ransoms to the cyber criminals who designed them. This program belongs to the Djvu ransomware family and was discovered by Michael Gillespie.

Myskle is designed to change each encrypted filename by adding the ".myskle" extension. For example, "1.jpg" becomes "1.jpg.myskle". It also creates a ransom message within the "_readme.txt" file, which it stores in all folders that contain encrypted files.

   
Boston Ransomware

What is Boston?

Discovered by Michael Gillespie and belonging to the Djvu family, Boston is a ransomware-type program. The cyber criminals who developed Boston use it to encrypt files stored on victims' computers and block access to them unless ransoms are paid. It renames each encrypted file by changing the extension to ".boston".

For example, "1.jpg" becomes "1.jpg.boston". It also creates a ransom message within a text file called "_readme.txt", which can be found in folders that contain encrypted data.

   
WebHelper Virus

What is WebHelper?

The developer of WebHelper is unknown, however, this is certainly not a Windows system file (process). WebHelper is categorized as malicious software (malware) and most anti-virus programs identity it as a trojan-type program. Typically, people do not install these programs intentionally - they are tricked by cyber criminals.

   
Easy Free Recipes Browser Hijacker

What is Easy Free Recipes?

Easy Free Recipes is a deceptive application that supposedly provides access to various food recipes. Judging on appearance alone, this app may seem legitimate and useful, however, Easy Free Recipes is categorized as a browser-hijacker and a potentially unwanted application (PUA).

This application typically infiltrates systems without users’ permission, promotes a fake search engine (search.heasyfreerecipes.com), and gathers various information relating to users' browsing activity.

   
PDF Genie Adware (Mac)

What is PDF Genie?

PDF Genie is advertised as a PDF file converter that is apparently supported by the best technology. It supposedly allows conversion of all popular documents to PDF format and vice versa.

Unfortunately, research shows that PDF Genie is a potentially unwanted application (PUA), software categorized as adware. Adware-type apps serve users with unwanted, intrusive ads and often gather private data.

   
Wtflife POP-UP Scam (Mac)

What is "Wtflife"?

Wtflife is a scam used to advertise an application called Smart Mac Booster. Scammers attempt to trick people into downloading and installing this app through a deceptive website that displays a fake virus alert. The site informs visitors that their computers are infected with a virus.

These sites are often opened by potentially unwanted apps (PUAs) already installed on the system. PUAs open untrustworthy web pages, deliver ads, and gather information relating to users' browsing habits.

   
Live Protection Suite Fake Antivirus

What is Live Protection Suite?

The Live Protection Suite program supposedly scans systems for threats and infections, and then removes them. In fact, this is a fake antivirus suite advertised on an 'official' website and also a deceptive, scam website. Live Protection Suite is a clone of Antivirus 10, another fake antivirus suite.

Developers use this software to extort money from users by encouraging them to purchase/activate the product. Do not trust, purchase, or use these rogue programs.

   
Kjh Ransomware

What is Kjh?

First discovered by Jakub Kroustek, Kjh is high-risk ransomware belonging to the Dharma ransomware family. Immediately after infiltration, Kjh encrypts most stored data, thereby rendering files unusable. Additionally, Kjh appends filenames with the ".kjh" extension plus the victim's unique ID and developer's email address.

For example, "sample.jpg" might be renamed to a filename such as "sample.jpg.id-1E857D00.[datareturn@protonmail.com].kjh". Kjh then opens a pop-up window and stores the "RETURN FILES.txt" text file on the desktop.
