Virus and Spyware Removal Guides, uninstall instructions

SysMenu.dll Virus

What is SysMenu.dll virus?

If a RunDLL pop-up window appears regularly and states that there was a problem starting the "SysMenu.dll" (dynamic-link library) file, it is likely that the computer is infected with adware (advertising-supported software). Apps of this type collect various user-system information and deploy advertisements. This particular adware is installed with the YTDownloader program.

   
WiFi Password Cracker Virus

What is WiFi password cracker?

According to the developers, the "WiFi password cracker" tool allows people to reveal the passwords of password-protected Wi-Fi networks. In fact, this tool is developed and proliferated by cyber criminals to infect computers with a ransomware-type program. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you do not use it.

   
CrossRAT Trojan

What is CrossRAT?

CrossRAT is yet another remote access trojan-type virus that stealthily infiltrates the system and records data. This malware is programmed in the Java language, which gives it a significant feature: it is a cross-platform trojan. Therefore, this trojan is capable of working on multiple operating systems, including Windows, MacOS, and Linux.

   
Xbit Pro Unwanted Application

What is Xbit Pro?

Xbit Pro is one of many optimizing tools that supposedly allows computers to run faster, smoother, and without errors. In fact, developers promote this tool by bundling it into other software set-ups. Therefore, many people download and install Xbit Pro inadvertently or accidentally. These applications are categorized as potentially unwanted apps (PUAs).

   
Dutan Ransomware

What is Dutan?

First discovered by Michael Gillespie and belonging to the Djvu ransomware family, Dutan is a high-risk virus designed to encrypt stored files, thereby making them unusable. During encryption, Dutan appends each filename with the ".dutan" extension (for example, "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.dutan").

After successful encryption, Dutan creates a text file ("_readme.txt") and stores a copy in every existing folder. This text file contains a ransom-demand message.

   
TopShape Unwanted Application

What is TopShape?

According to developers, the TopShape (or TopShape-B4) program notifies users of outdated applications installed on their computers. Many people download and install TopShape inadvertently, and thus it is categorized as a potentially unwanted application (PUA), an adware-type app. TopShape displays pop-up ads by opening them in new windows or tabs.

   
Pushnews.online POP-UP Ads

What is pushnews[.]online?

Virtually identical to watch-this[.]live, enheprenropher[.]info, havenotifyfriends[.]info, and many others, pushnews[.]online is a rogue website that redirects visitors to other untrustworthy, deceptive sites. Generally, this page is visited by users inadvertently - they are redirected to it by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on their systems.

People often install PUAs unintentionally. They then deliver advertisements and gather data.

   
Searchprivacyplus.com Redirect

What is searchprivacyplus.com?

searchprivacyplus.com is a fake search engine that is promoted as a web surfing tool designed to deliver an enhanced browsing experience (faster searches, more accurate results, and so on). Developers promote this site using a browser hijacker, a potentially unwanted application (PUA) called Flash SD App.

When installed, most apps of this type modify browser settings and collect data relating to users' browsing activity.

   
Mega Media Start Browser Hijacker

What is search.globalappz.live?

Mega Media Start is a browser app that supposedly allows users to access movies and popular websites directly from their browsers.

Note, however, that this app is often installed on browsers unintentionally. Therefore, Mega Media Start is categorized as a potentially unwanted app (PUA), a browser hijacker. It promotes a fake search engine (search.globalappz.live) by changing browser settings and recording user-system information.

   
Txtnews.online POP-UP Ads

What is txtnews[.]online?

When opened, txtnews[.]online causes redirects to other untrustworthy websites. Therefore, it  is categorized as a rogue website.

Many sites of this type are available on the internet, including, for example, watch-this[.]live, enheprenropher[.]info, and havenotifyfriends[.]info. Typically, potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) open these websites - people do not generally visit them intentionally. Furthermore, PUAs often feed users with intrusive ads and gather information relating to browsing habits.
