What is Movie Quick Tab?

Movie Quick Tab is a rogue browser extension, which promotes the quicknewtab.com fake search engine. This piece of software operates by modifying browser settings in order to cause redirects to quicknewtab.com. Due to this behavior, it is classified as a browser hijacker.

Additionally, Movie Quick Tab likely has data tracking abilities, as it is common for software within this classification. Since most users download/install browser hijackers unintentionally, they are also categorized as PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications).

What is Nmc ransomware?

Nmc ransomware encrypts files, modifies their filenames and generates two ransom demanding messages (displays a pop-up window and creates the "info.txt" text file). It renames files by adding the victim's ID, nomanscrypt@tuta.io email address, and ".nmc" extension to their filenames. For example, Nmc renames a file named "1.jpg" to "1.jpg.nmc", "2.jpg" to "2.jpg.nmc", and so on.

What is the ZEUS ransomware?

Belonging to the Dharma ransomware family, ZEUS is a malicious program designed to encrypt data and demand ransoms for the decryption. In other words, this malware operates by rendering files inaccessible/unusable - to demand payment for access/use restoration.

During the encryption process, files are renamed following this pattern: original filename, unique ID assigned to the victim, cyber criminals' email address, and ".ZEUS" extension. To elaborate, an affected file initially titled "1.jpg" would appear as something similar to "1.jpg.id-C279F237.[Zeus1@msgsafe.io].ZEUS" - after encryption.

Once this process is complete, ransom notes are created/displayed in a pop-up window and "FILES ENCRYPTED.txt" text file.

What is convmusic[.]com?

Convmusic[.]com is quite similar to a great number of other websites, for example, 1music-online[.]me, theactualstories[.]com, and highercaptcha-settle[.]com. However, users rarely visit pages like convmusic[.]com intentionally - these pages get opened through untrustworthy advertisements, other dubious pages by installed potentially unwanted applications (PUAs).

What is Ddsg?

Ddsg is a ransomware variant that belongs to the Djvu family. It prevents victims from accessing their files by encrypting them and keeps files inaccessible until they are decrypted with the right decryption tool. Also, this ransomware appends the ".ddsg" extension to the filenames of all encrypted files (e.g., it renames a file named "1.jpg" to "1.jpg.ddsg", "2.jpg" to "2.jpg.ddsg", and so on) and creates the "_readme.txt" file (a ransom note).

What kind of malware is Artemis?

Artemis is a new variant of PewPew ransomware, which was discovered by S!Ri. It encrypts files, modifies their filenames and creates the "info-decrypt.hta" file in folders containing encrypted files. Artemis renames files by adding the victim's ID, khalate@tutanota.com email address, and the ".artemis" extension to filenames.

For example, "1.jpg" is renamed to "1.jpg.id-C279F237.[khalate@tutanota.com].artemis", "2.jpg" to "2.jpg.id-C279F237.[khalate@tutanota.com].artemis", and so on. The "info-decrypt.hta" file contains a ransom message with instructions about how to contact the cyber criminals plus various other details.

What is 1music-online[.]me?

1music-online[.]me is a rogue website sharing many similarities with theactualstories.com, cousiness.website, profitsurvey365.online, and thousands of others. Visitors to this site are presented with questionable content and/or redirected to different untrustworthy/malicious webpages.

Rogue sites are rarely entered intentionally; most users get redirected to them by intrusive adverts or PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications) already installed onto their devices. This software can infiltrate systems without user permission. PUAs are designed to force-open websites, run intrusive advert campaigns, and collect browsing-related data.

What is theactualstories[.]com?

Users typically access websites of this kind unintentionally; most get redirected to them by intrusive advertisements or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications). These apps can be installed onto systems without explicit user consent. PUAs operate by force-opening sites, running intrusive advert campaigns, and gathering browsing-related information.

What is Lavender adware?

Lavender is the name of an adware-type application. Following successful infiltration, it runs intrusive advertisement campaigns. In other words, this app delivers various misleading and even dangerous ads.

Furthermore, adware typically has data tracking abilities, which are used to collect browsing-related and sensitive information. Hence, Lavender likely has such functionalities as well. Since most users download/install adware products inadvertently, they are also classified as PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications).

What is TopPDFConverterSearch?
