Virus and Spyware Removal Guides, uninstall instructions
What is MoonCrypter?
First discovered by malware security researcher, Karsten Hahn, MoonCrypter is a virus based on an open-source ransomware project called Hidden Tear. Once infiltrated, MoonCrypter encrypts stored data using RSA-1024 and AES-256 encryption algorithms.
During encryption, the virus appends filenames with the ".cmoon" extension (for example, "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.cmoon"). Following successful encryption, MoonCrypter opens a pop-up window and creates two text files: "_readmyransom.txt" (placed in each existing folder) and "ReadIt.txt" (placed on the desktop).
What is VOTRE ORDINATEUR A ÉTÉ BLOCKÉ?
"VOTRE ORDINATEUR A ÉTÉ BLOCKÉ" is a fake error message displayed by a malicious website, which users visit inadvertently - they are redirected by various potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) distributed using a deceptive marketing method called "bundling".
As well as causing redirects, PUPs deliver intrusive online advertisements and continually record various user-system information.
What is wallofmobi.info?
wallofmobi.info is a rogue website that redirects to a number of other suspicious sites. It is identical to clicknshare.net, click-cpa.net, clickppcbuzz.com, and many others.
Research shows that users often visit wallofmobi.information inadvertently - they are redirected by various potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) that infiltrate systems without permission. As well as causing redirects, PUPs deliver intrusive online advertisements and continually gather information relating to web browsing activity.
What is searchererr.website?
According to the developers, searchererr.website is a "top-notch" Internet search engine that significantly enhances the browsing experience by generating improved results.
Initially, searchererr.website may seem legitimate and useful, however, developers promote this site by employing deceptive download/installation set-ups designed to modify browser options without direct user-permission. In addition, searchererr.website continually monitors Internet browsing activity by gathering various user-system information.
What is "Ad by Advertise"?
"Ad by Advertise" are types of advertisements employed by various deceptive programs/browser add-ons that often infiltrate systems without consent.
Following successful infiltration, the associated apps and add-ons deliver intrusive online advertisements and continually gather various information relating to users' Internet browsing activity. These apps and plug-ins are thus categorized as potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) and adware.
What is Security Warning?
"Security Warning" is a fake error message displayed by a malicious website that users often visit inadvertently - they are redirected by various potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) that infiltrate systems without permission (the "bundling" method).
Research shows that PUPs are also likely to deliver intrusive online advertisements and track browsing activity by gathering user-system information.
What is apple-panda.com?
Identical to clicknshare.net, click-cpa.net, click.aarth.com, and many others, apple-panda.com is a rogue website designed to redirect to various suspicious sites. Users are redirected to apple-panda.com by adware-type applications that infiltrate systems without consent (the "bundling" method).
As well as causing redirects, these potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) deliver intrusive online advertisements and continually record various information relating to users' Internet browsing activity.
What is myflow.top?
myflow.top is a deceptive website promoting adult dating, gambling, and various other deceptive sites.
Judging on appearance alone, myflow.top may seem legitimate, however, this site is promoted via rogue download/installation set-ups that hijack web browsers and stealthily modify various options. In addition, myflow.top collects various information relating to users' Internet browsing activity.
What is themovie-portal.com?
Movie Quest (also known as TheMovie-Portal) is a deceptive application that supposedly allows access to a database full of information about various movies.
Initially, Movie Quest may seem legitimate and useful, however, this application is categorized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) and a browser hijacker. There are three main reasons for these negative associations: 1) installation without consent; 2) stealth modification of browser settings, and; 3) tracking of users' Internet browsing activity.
What is SyncCrypt?
Discovered by malware security researcher, xXToffeeXx, SyncCrypt is a ransomware-type virus that stealthily infiltrates systems and encrypts stored data. In doing so, SyncCrypt appends the ".kk" extension to the name of each file (for example, "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.kk").
Following successful encryption, this virus creates four files ("readme.html", "readme.png", "KEY", and "AMMOUNT.txt"), placing them within a folder ("README") on the desktop. A copy of the "readme.html" file is also placed directly on the desktop.
