Virus and Spyware Removal Guides, uninstall instructions

What is pushfuns.com?

Similar to pushzonex.com, browsers.top, pushtouchme.info, and many others, pushfuns.com is a rogue website designed to redirect users to other dubious sites and deliver content. Users typically visit pushfuns.com inadvertently - they are redirected by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) or intrusive advertisements displayed on other dubious websites.

PUAs usually infiltrate computers without permission and, as well as causing redirects, deliver intrusive advertisements and gather information.

What is Rabbit?

Ransomware-type programs generally encrypt data stored on computers, which allows developers (cyber criminals) to blackmail victims by making ransom demands. Rabbit ransomware does not encrypt data but locks the computer screen and displays a ransom demand window. This ransomware-type program was discovered by MalwareHunterTeam.

What is go.coloringmaster.net?

go.coloringmaster.net is presented as a legitimate search engine. Developers promise an enhanced browsing experience (faster searches, improved results, and so on), however, this site is promoted via a browser hijacker, a potentially unwanted application (PUA) called Coloring Master.

When installed, apps of this type change browser settings. Additionally, Coloring Master and go.coloringmaster.net collect information relating to users' browsing activity.

What is PowerGamesNetwork?

PowerGamesNetwork is categorized as a potentially unwanted application (PUA) and adware-type software. Developers state that it can be used to download various games. Indeed, it may seem to be a legitimate and useful app for people who play various games.

In fact, when installed, this app forces users to see various intrusive advertisements and redirects them to dubious web pages. Furthermore, PUAs often track information and collect details relating to users' browsing habits.

What is pushzonex.com?

pushzonex.com is yet another rogue website that is virtually identical to browsers.top, pushtouchme.info, parliery.info, and many others. As with these examples, pushzonex.com redirects to various websites and delivers dubious content.

Research shows that users often end up visiting pushzonex.com site inadvertently - they are redirected by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) or intrusive advertisements displayed on other rogue sites. PUAs typically infiltrate computers without permission and, as well as causing redirects, record information and deliver intrusive advertisements.

What is Fanatical Assistant?

As presented on its website, the Fanatical Assistant application supposedly gives users access to various games at the best prices. It also allows them to quickly find over 5000 games.

This may seem to be a useful app, especially for people who often purchase games, however, Fanatical Assistant is categorized as a potentially unwanted application (PUA) that operates as adware (ad-supportive software). Applications of this type feed users with intrusive advertisements and gather data relating to browsing activity.

What is Imminent Monitor?

Imminent Monitor is a legitimate remote access tool (RAT) allowing users to control Microsoft Windows-based servers and computers remotely, however, cyber criminals use 'cracked' versions of Imminent Monitor to generate revenue. Therefore, although the tool itself is legitimate, it can be misused in various ways.

The presence of Imminent Monitor on a system controlled by another party might thus cause serious problems.

What is Mr-X666?

Discovered by Michael Gillespie and belonging to the GlobeImposter ransomware family, Mr-X666 is a malicious ransomware-type program that cyber criminals distribute to extort money (cryptocurrency) from innocent people. This is achieved by encrypting files stored on computers and making ransom demands to restore them.

This ransomware renames encrypted files by adding the ".Mr-X666" extension. For example, "1.jpg" is renamed by Mr-X666 to "1.jpg.Mr-X666". In addition, Mr-X666 creates a ransom message within a file called "HOW TO BACK YOUR FILES.txt" and places the file in all folders that contain encrypted files.

What is "Cleanup My Mac"?

As its name suggests, Cleanup My Mac (also distributed as CleanupMY-Mac, Cleanup-My Mac, Cleanup-My-Mac, CleanupMyMac and similar names) is promoted as an application used to clean Mac computers, fix various issues, and improve MacOS system performance.

Developers present this app as a system optimization tool, however, research shows that they promote and distribute it using the "bundling" method, and therefore it is categorized as potentially unwanted app (PUA). Typically, people install PUAs accidentally or unintentionally.

What is Doples?

First discovered by malware security researcher, Michael Gillespie, Doples is yet another variant of Djvu ransomware. After successful infiltration, Doples encrypts most stored data and appends filenames with the ".dople" extension (e.g., "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.dople").

Encrypted data immediately becomes unusable. Following successful encryption, Doples generates a text file ("_readme.txt") and places a copy in every folder containing encrypted files.
