Once files are encrypted, Random6 creates a text file ("RESTORE-[6_character_ID]-FILES.txt"), placing it in each folder containing encrypted files.

ViACrypt then creates two files ("your_encryption_public_key.rkf" and "your system has been encrypted! please read further instruction!.txt"), placing them on the desktop.

   
TrackaPackage Toolbar

What is hp.myway.com?

TrackaPackage is developed by Mindspark Interactive Network. It is advertised as an app that helps users to track their shipments quickly and easily. TrackaPackage is a browser hijacker. It is because this app changes browser's settings to promote a fake search engine (hp.myway.com). Also, it collects various information.

Typically, users do not remember installing browser hijackers/users download and install them unintentionally. Therefore, apps of this type (including the TrackaPackage browser hijacker) are called potentially unwanted applications (PUAs).
