What is END of ISRAEL?

END of ISRAEL is a ransomware-type virus discovered by malware security researcher, Jakub Kroustek. Research shows that this malware is developed using .NET framework. Once infiltrated, END of ISRAEL encrypts stored data and appends filenames with the ".israbye" extension multiple times.

For example, "sample.jpg" might be renamed to a filename such as "sample.jpg.israbye.israbye.israbye.israbye.israbye.israbye.israbye.israbye.israbye.israbye". Following successful encryption, END of ISRAEL changes the desktop wallpaper and opens a pop-up window.

What is barquery.com?

Developers state that barquery.com is a "high-risk" Internet search engine that significantly enhances the web browsing experience by generating improved results. Judging on appearance alone, barquery.com barely differs from Google, Yahoo, Bing, and other legitimate search engines.

Therefore, many users believe that barquery.com is also legitimate. In fact, this site is promoted via rogue download/installation set-ups that modify browser options without permission. In addition, barquery.com records various user-system information relating to Internet browsing activity.

What is History Open?

History Open is a deceptive application that supposedly enhances the web browsing experience by providing quick access to the browsing history.

Judging on appearance alone, History Open may seem legitimate and useful, however, this app is categorized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) and adware. There are three main reasons for these negative associations: 1) stealth installation without consent; 2) display of intrusive advertisements, and; 3) tracking of users' Internet browsing activity.

What is default-search.net?

The default-search.net website (created by Linkey Inc.) is promoted using browser hijackers that infiltrate Internet browsers through free software downloads.

After successful installation, this adware modifies browser settings by assigning the homepage and default search engine fields to default-search.net At time of research, this website redirected to yahoo.com causing no security issues, however, creators of this browser hijacker have control over these redirects and are able to change them to other locations at any time.

Having adware such as this installed on your Internet browsers can result in serious malware and virus infections.
