Virus and Spyware Removal Guides, uninstall instructions

What is Your Photo Editor?

Your Photo Editor is a deceptive application that claims to provide functionality allowing users to create various pictures. Initially, this app may seem legitimate and useful, however, Your Photo Editor is categorized as a potentially unwanted application (PUA) and a browser hijacker.

There are three main reasons for these negative associations: 1) installation without users' consent; 2) promotion of a fake search engine [search.hyourphotoeditor.net], and; 3) information tracking.

What is Stream2watch?

Stream2watch provides a streaming service that supposedly allows people to watch live sport free of charge. In fact, it delivers this service illegally. Developers provide this service on a website that uses rogue advertising networks.

People who use Stream2watch's website are served with deceptive advertisements that lead to other dubious web pages or cause unwanted download and installation of potentially unwanted apps (PUAs).

Additionally, this page asks visitors to show notifications. If allowed, these start feeding users with unwanted ads and notifications, and might also lead to unwanted downloads or installations.

What is idp.alexa.51?

idp.alexa.51 is a virus/threat detected specifically by Avira, Avast, and AVG anti-virus suites. This malware was first detected in 2016. Note that idp.alexa.51 is not regular malware: it can be an actual infection or a 'false positive'. Research results show that this threat often infiltrates the system during installation of various Flash games (e.g., Plants vs. Zombies, SeaMonkey, and similar).

What is Sattelite Earth?

Sattelite Earth is a deceptive application that offers GPS-related features. On initial inspection, the website that it promotes (search.hsatteliteearth.com) may seem legitimate and useful, however, Sattelite Earth is categorized as a browser hijacker and a potentially unwanted application (PUA), since it infiltrates systems without users’ permission, modifies browser options, and continually gathers information relating to browsing activity.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
