The Qvo6 hijacker is a browser hijacker that's promoted by Qvo6.com as a useful search-enhancing utility, even though Qvo6's real search-related features appear to be limited to redirecting PC users to popular search engines like Google.

Reveton is a ransomware Trojan that hijacks your browser to display a fake legal alert while Reveton also locks down your computer. Because Reveton's pop-up alerts often use country-specific references to various legal agencies, Reveton may appear legitimate at first glance, but Reveton simply is a way for criminals to milk money out of PC users by accusing them of random crimes.

'You Have 48 Hours to Pay the Fine' Ransomware is ransomware that locks your computer and recommends that you transfer money to a third-party to restore your PC.

The United States Courts Ransomware is an illegal program that creates a fake anti-piracy warning while blocking your ability to access your desktop or other software.
