Virus and Spyware Removal Guides, uninstall instructions
What is feed.streaming-time.com?
feed.streaming-time.com is a fake search engine that supposedly allows users to access free live radio stations (online) and enjoy an enhanced browsing experience. This search engine may seem legitimate and useful, and yet developers promote it using a potentially unwanted application (PUA) and browser hijacker called StreamingTime.
Typically, browser-hijacking apps are installed unintentionally and modify browser settings. Furthermore, StreamingTime and feed.streaming-time.com record data relating to users' browsing activity.
What is "BMO Account Report Email Virus"?
"BMO Account Report Email Virus" is another spam campaign that distributes a high-risk trojan virus called TrickBot.
This is how it works: cyber criminals send thousands of emails with attachments that contain supposedly confidential information to thousands of people. The main purpose of these emails is to trick users into opening an attachment that will infect computers with malware.
What is incomingnow.com?
incomingnow.com is another rogue site that causes redirects to other websites. It is virtually identical to many sites including notifications-online.systems, chardwardse.club, and confirm-browser.com.
Generally, visitors arrive at incomingnow.com inadvertently - they are redirected by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) or intrusive ads displayed by rogue sites. PUAs often infiltrate systems without permission and, as well as generating redirects, deploy intrusive advertisements and record sensitive data.
What is "My Trojan Captured All Your Private Information" email scam?
"My Trojan Captured All Your Private Information Email Scam" is just one of many spam email campaigns often used to blackmail people and trick them into transferring money to cyber criminals. In most cases, these criminals send emails stating that users' computer have been hacked, infected, and so on.
In this particular case, they send a message to each user claiming that a remote access tool has been installed, which has captured an embarrassing video. If ransom demands are not met, the cyber criminals threaten to send the video to other people (via the user's contacts). If you have received this email, do not worry, it is just a scam.
What is alphashoppers.co?
alphashoppers.co is a fake search engine supposedly offering an enhanced browsing experience and also saving time and money by providing various deals, offers, and coupons.
This may seem a legitimate and useful search engine, but it is promoted using the Alpha Shoppers app, which is categorized as browser hijacker that modifies settings without users' permission. Furthermore, alphashoppers.co and Alpha Shoppers are known to record data relating to users' browsing activity.
What is click.infocenter.support?
click.infocenter.support is a rogue site designed to cause redirects to other dubious websites. It is very similar to notifications-online.systems, chardwardse.club, picnewsupdate.info, and many others.
Research shows that many visitors arrive at click.infocenter.support inadvertently - they are redirected by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) or intrusive ads displayed on other rogue sites. Be aware that potentially unwanted applications typically infiltrate computers without users' consent and are notorious for display of intrusive advertisements and information tracking.
What is SOLO?
SOLO is another ransomware-type virus discovered by Michael Gillespie. This malware is designed to infiltrate computers and encrypt data using AES cryptography. During encryption, SOLO adds its name as an extension to each encrypted file. For instance, "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.SOLO".
Once encryption is complete, data immediately becomes unusable. Note that encryption is not the only feature of SOLO. It is also designed to drop an HTML file ("IHRE_DATEIEN_SIND_VERSCHLUESSELT.html") in every existing folder. This file contains a ransom-demand message in German.
What is ViewMyPDF?
Once installed on web browsers, the ViewMyPDF app supposedly provides a catalogue of games. This may seem a useful tool to access thousands of games, however, it is categorized as a potentially unwanted application (PUA), an adware-type application that most users install inadvertently without their direct permission.
Generally, apps of this type feed users with advertisements and record browsing-related (and even personal) data.
What is "Error FXX000"?
"Error FXX000" is a fake error message (many people encounter fake messages: errors, alerts, virus notifications, etc.). Generally, this type of message appears on untrustworthy websites that users visit unintentionally.
In most cases, they are redirected to these sites by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs), which are often installed inadvertently without direct user permission. Furthermore, they cause unwanted redirects, record data, and deliver intrusive advertisements.
What is "Hacker who cracked your email and device Email Scam"?
Like many other spam email campaigns of this type, "Hacker who cracked your email and device Email Scam" is designed to blackmail people. Cyber criminals send emails stating that your computer has been infected, hacked etc. In this case, they claim that they have installed a remote access tool and taken a humiliating photo of the victim.
If the ransom demands are not met, they state that they will distribute this photo by sending it to all of the victim's contacts. If you have received this email (or similar), do not worry - it is just a scam used to trick people into paying for photos/videos or other media that does not exist.
