What is The Last Website Infected Your Computer?
"The Last Website Infected Your Computer" is a fake pop-up error that targets MacOS operating system users. This error is displayed by a malicious website that users often visit inadvertently - they are redirected by various potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) that infiltrate systems without permission.
Research shows that PUPs are also likely to misuse system resources, gather various information, and deliver 'malvertising' ads (coupons, banners, pop-ups, etc.)
What is search.bitcro.com?
The Search.bitcro.com website supposedly allows users to easily access other popular websites (such as YouTube, Amazon, Wikipedia, etc.) and improve their Internet searching experience by displaying the most relevant search results.
Some users may believe that this site is legitimate, however, it is classed as a browser hijacker and a potentially unwanted program (PUP). This site is often promoted using deceptive installer set-ups that modify browser settings.
What is WannaSmile?
WannaSmile (WSmile) is a ransomware-type virus discovered by MalwareHunterTeam. Immediately after infiltration, WannaSmile encrypts most stored data and adds the ".WSmile" extension to each filename. For instance, "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.WSmile".
From this point, the file becomes unusable. Once files are encrypted, WannaSmile creates a "How to decrypt files.html" file and places it on the desktop. This file contains a ransom-demand message.
What is searchdimension.com?
Developers present searchdimension.com as an Internet search engine that enhances the Internet browsing experience by generating improved search results.

Furthermore, searchdimension.com continually records various information relating to Internet browsing activity.
What is mojotab.com?

Furthermore, mojotab.com and MojoTab continually record various data.
What is 0000?
0000 is an updated version of a high-risk ransomware-type virus called CryptoMix. This malware was first discovered by MalwareHunterTeam. Once infiltrated, 0000 encrypts most stored files and renames them using the "[32_random_digits_and_letters].0000" filename pattern.
For example, "sample.jpg" might be renamed to a filename such as "1F670AF7246B93059765E42328547745.0000". Henceforth, files become indeterminable and unusable. Once files are encrypted, 0000 places a text file ("_HELP_INSTRUCTION.TXT") in each existing folder.
What is Check Weather?
Check Weather is a deceptive application that supposedly provides local weather forecasts. On initial inspection, this functionality may appear legitimate and useful, however, this potentially unwanted program (PUP) often infiltrates systems without permission and continually records various information.

What is somethat.com?
Developers present somethat.com as a "high-quality" Internet search engine that enhances users' browsing experience by generating improved results.
