Virus and Spyware Removal Guides, uninstall instructions
What is "This Update requires an action"?
"This Update requires an action" is the headline of a deceptive pop-up window that encourages users to update outdated software. Do not trust this pop-up or obey the instructions. Research shows that the pop-up appears due to adware that is already installed on the computer and/or browser.
Typically, people do not install adware intentionally. Therefore, apps of this type are classed as potentially unwanted applications (PUAs). This particular pop-up is used to promote PUAs such as Tapufind and ChillTab - we strongly recommend that you do NOT download or install them.
What is Power App?
Power App is a browser hijacker, identical to Genius App. This rogue application is advertised as enhancing web searches. It is supposedly capable of fast searches, providing accurate search results, etc., however, it operates by changing browser settings to promote a fake search engine (searchpowerapp.com).
Power App also monitors users' browsing habits and is categorized as a PUA (Potentially Unwanted Application), since users tend to install it onto devices inadvertently.
What is Obituary Search?
Obituary Search is a browser hijacker advertised for allowing access to various ancestry-related content. It is supposedly capable of providing access to ancestry sites and obituary databases. Obituary Search is classed as a Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA), as most users install it inadvertently.
This rogue application operates by modifying browser settings to promote its fake search engine (search.obituarysearchtab.com). It also tracks user data, recording browsing activity and personal information. Updated variant of Obituary Search browser hijacker promotes search.newobituarysearchtab.com.
What is Instant Translation?
Instant Translation is a browser hijacker, endorsed as an application for quick access to various free translation tools. It is supposedly capable of immediately providing dictionaries and translating any web page, however, it operates by changing browser settings to promote its fake search engine (search.getfreetranslationstab.com).
Instant Translation also has data tracking abilities. Many users install this application inadvertently and it is therefore classified as a Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA).
What is CoverOpen?
CoverOpen is a program that supposedly helps people to browse the internet efficiently (providing fast searches, accurate results, and enhancing the browsing experience in other ways). In fact, this app is categorized as adware, software that displays unwanted, often deceptive ads.
People usually download and install apps of this type inadvertently, and thus they are categorized as potentially unwanted applications (PUAs). Additionally, these apps can operate as information tracking tools, collecting various user details.
What is Mike?
Discovered by GrujaRS, Mike is malicious software belonging to the HildaCrypt ransomware family. This malicious program is designed to encrypt data and keep it locked until a ransom is paid. During the encryption process, all files are renamed with the ".mike" extension.
For example, "1.jpg" becomes "1.jpg.mike". After encryption, Mike creates the "_readme.txt" text file and stores it on the victim's desktop.
What is leadnote[.]me?
Similar to muchinspardorop.info, noorotin.biz, meknews.biz, and many others, leadnote[.]me is a rogue website that generates redirects to other compromised and dangerous sites. This website can also present visitors with dubious and even malicious content.
Few users access this site intentionally - most are redirected by intrusive advertisements or Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs). These apps do no require explicit user permission to infiltrate devices. PUAs cause redirects, deliver advertisement campaigns, and track data.
