FluBot is a malicious infection classified as a banking trojan that happens to penetrate Android-based smartphones. A wide number of users made reports upon receiving suspicious messages with links to download pages. This is exactly how FluBot targets its victims. Extortionists send a number of similar SMS messages (in different languages) that contain links to download an ostensibly legitimate FedEx application. The fake delivery website shares an APK file used to install the FluBot virus. As soon as you launch the APK file, the installation wizard asks to grant many types of permissions like reading contacts, observing and sending SMS messages, pushing notifications, initiating phone calls, tracking location, and other suspicious permissions. Having such a big number of unreasonable permissions begs up a huge security question. By allowing all of the mentioned actions, your smartphone will be fully controlled by cybercriminals. This will, therefore, help them collect sensitive data entered during the usage. After accessing your smartphone, the virus also receives remote commands from servers to disable device protection and other features preventing third-party invasion. Note that FluBot may also generate fake windows that will require entering banking information (credit card number, CVC/CVC2 codes, etc.). Everything mentioned above proves that FluBot is a dangerous piece that has to be removed.

Auto Speedup 2018 is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program meant to enhance your system performance. The software provides a number of features able to scan your PC for malware and numerous other system issues. This, therefore, should give your system an extra boost to performance. Auto Speedup 2018 is free of charge until you start fixing the detected errors. As soon as you hit the "Fix" button, the performance utility will prompt users with a message to purchase the full version. This is necessary to run the full deletion of problems located by Auto Speedup 2018. Of course, it is quite common to see legitimate and trusted utilities offer paid or trial solutions after detecting the problems. However, Auto Speedup 2018 is barely good in its efficiency. Many experts doubt its potential to find and kill truly malicious or redundant files, which could result in better system performance. The list of threats is likely to be fake or non-existent. This is why you should remove Auto Speedup 2018 from your computer. If you want to spend your money on decent PC-optimizing utilities, better give your choice in favor of famous and already tested programs like IObit Uninstaller, IObit, or similar software within this category. To get rid of Auto Speedup 2018, follow our tutorial below.

Being part of the ByteLocker family, JanusLocker is a ransomware infection that blocks access to files stored on a system. By doing so, developers blackmail victims into paying a so-called ransom in exchange for the data. Both payment and decryption instructions are located inside of a text note, which is created after all files end up encrypted. JanusLocker assigns the .HACKED extension to each file piece. For instance, 1.pdf or any other file attacked on your PC will change to 1.pdf.HACKED and become no longer accessible. It is written that all-important data has been encrypted using AES-256 algorithms. To erase the appended cipher, users are guided to pay for unique decryption software. The software price equals roughly 0.018 BTC, which is about 618 USD at the moment of writing this article. After users complete the money transfer through the attached crypto address, they should notify cyber criminals with their transaction ID using e-mail (TwoHearts911@protonmail.com). Soon afterward, users should get the promised decryption tools purchased from cybercriminals. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Many ransomware developers fool their victims even after receiving the payment. This is why trusting JanusLocker by monetary means is quite a huge risk.

Push-news.org is classified as a malicious website that promotes tenacious ads. The website achieves its goal after users allow fake push-notifications. Such action is claimed to be necessary for bypassing Captcha or watching a video. In reality, it is simply meant to deliver a jet of potentially unwanted or even dangerous ads right on your desktop. As a rule, pages like Push-news.org are visited inadvertently after clicking on dubious banners or due to potentially unwanted applications that might be installed on your system to open such pages each time at browser startup. Potentially unwanted programs are very annoying and cunning in terms of their operation. They secretly gather users' data like passwords, IP addresses, geolocations and sell it on platforms similar to the darknet. Ads promoted by resources like Push-news.org may seem innocent and even useful, however, they usually contain malicious redirects to numerous websites aiming to spread other infections. Thus, there are many obvious reasons why you should get rid of the Push-news.org redirect from your computer. To do this, follow our free guide removal below.

BiggyLocker is a ransomware-type virus that makes most files stored on a system totally inaccessible. This process is more known as data encryption. It involves strong AES and RSA algorithms meant to assign military-grade ciphers, which make self-decryption next to impossible. Alike other malware of this type, BiggyLocker assigns the .$big$ to each encrypted piece of data. For instance, a file like 1.pdf will be changed to 1.pdf.$big$ and reset its original icon. Then, as soon as this part of encryption is done, the virus moves on to creating a text note called read_me.txt. It is dropped on a desktop and contains ransom instructions. As developers claim, it is impossible to recover the blocked files without their help. To do this, victims are requested to pay for the social decryption software held by cybercriminals themselves. The price for such is 120$ to be transferred in Bitcoin. Once victims have paid the demanded ransom via the crypto address, they should therefore contact extortionists using their e-mail address (cyberlock06@protonmail.com). After this, victims should supposedly get the promised decryption tools to regain access to their data.

Many users have reported facing the 0xc19001e2 error message while trying to update Windows. The problem seems to arise whilst installing the latest feature updates (version 1903 or 1909). It is also common to see the MOSETUP_E_PREINSTALL_SCRIPT_FAILED message related to this sort of issue. Those willing to get all new features and fixes might feel disappointed being unable to complete the installation of updates. It is hard to tease out one single reason for the appearance of such errors. Usually, errors like 0xc19001e2 end up striking your system due to corrupted settings/files, or incompatibility issues. Luckily, there are people who have managed to solve the issues using a set of effective methods. All of them are listed down below. Follow each of the steps precisely to eliminate the popping-up error.

Also known as SetupHost.exe, Modern Setup Host is an important Windows component that is responsible for the proper installation of updates. Whenever users upgrade their system, Modern Setup Host launches in the background mode to finish the update. The component can work in active mode for up to 4 hours depending on the size of installing updates. It is normal to see Modern Setup Host allocated with most resources in Task Manager whilst updating your system. Unfortunately, during its vital activity, some users experience severe drops in system performance due to excessively high resource usage. CPU, Disk, or even Memory can be overloaded to 100% resulting in freezes and system crashes eventually. This, therefore, prevents users from installing updates correctly. Sometimes it may be hard to detect the issue unless you know the most common origins of it. As a rule, the main reasons that cause SetupHost.exe to soar up in resource consumption are low hard drive capacity, the presence of malware, corruption, and incompatibility issues. To make sure the problem is solved, follow our tutorial down below.

Haron is one of many ransomware infections that target encryption of personal data to demand paying the so-called ransom. Such malware makes sure most of the data stored on your device is locked out from regular access. Put differently, users affected by ransomware are no longer permitted to access the files. To learn if they have been encrypted, it is enough to look at their appearance. Haron adds the .chaddad extension to each of the files and forces the reset of icons as well. For example, a file named 1.pdf will be changed to 1.pdf.chaddad and drop its icon to blank. After this part of infection gets to a close, victims receive two notes (RESTORE_FILES_INFO.txt and RESTORE_FILES_INFO.hta) with decryption instructions. These instructions are meant to inform users about encryption. In addition to that, they claim cybercriminals to be the only figures able to recover your data. For this, users are asked to purchase unique decryption software held by extortionists themselves. Victims have to access a link via the Tor browser to complete the required payment. Sometimes frauds forget to put the contact or payment links, which makes recovery via cybercriminals automatically impossible.
