MyPDFSearch

Posted: August 21, 2020 | Category: Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs)
MyPDFSearch is an intrusive extension for Google Chrome. Users may be tempted to install it because it promises to grant them the ability to navigate and search the Web more efficiently, as well as take advantage of handy document conversion utilities. Sadly, MyPDFSearch's promises are fake, and users are likely to only experience annoying changes because of MyPDFSearch's installation.

StreamsSearch Search

Posted: August 21, 2020 | Category: Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs)
StreamsSearch is a dubious add-on that may promise great features, but it will fail to deliver on its promises, certainly. StreamsSearch does not seem to have any relevant or irreplaceable features, and it does nothing to enhance your Web searching experience. In fact, it does just the opposite – it replaces your default search aggregator with Feed.streamssearch.com. This page may not deliver credible results, and your Web searches are likely to end up including more advertisements than...

Posted: August 21, 2020 | Category: Browser Hijackers
If you ever see prompts and pop-ups from Entcatedp.club in your Web browser, then they are likely to ask you to click 'Allow' to confirm that you are not a robot. These prompts may seem innocent, but their true purpose has nothing to do with any anti-robot check – if you follow their instructions, you will subscribe to Entcatedp.club's push notifications. Once this is done, you can expect your Web browser to be flooded with notifications originating from Entcatedp.club. If you see content...

The button, however, is not used to confirm that you are not a robot. Instead, its designated purpose is to subscribe you to Rlargedhea.club's notifications. If this happens, you...

Torresenta.club

Posted: August 20, 2020 | Category: Browser Hijackers
Torresenta.club is a Web page with one goal – to hijack your browser notifications by fooling you to make you think that you need to perform an 'anti-robot' check. Users are likely to encounter Torresenta.club's content while browsing shady websites that display pop-ups redirecting to Torresenta.club.

BestPDFSearch Search

Posted: August 20, 2020 | Category: Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs)
Regardless of what BestPDFSearch's description tells you, you can be sure that this is not an add-on that can enhance your online searching experience. BestPDFSearch will not help you convert PDFs and other documents, nor will it make it easier to find content online.

DaVinci Ransomware

Posted: August 20, 2020 | Category: Ransomware
The DaVinci Ransomware is a file-locking Trojan that encrypts the contents of the user's hard drives for holding their media hostage. Although its ransom note, a screen-blocking pop-up, claims otherwise, the Trojan doesn't include an authentic recovery service, which functionally makes it no different from a file-wiper Trojan. Users with live anti-malware products should remove the DaVinci Ransomware without further help automatically, but the data loss from infections could only be...
