Pay Us Ransomware seems to be a by-product of Vn_os Ransomware, which we discussed on our blog already. It acts exactly the same way - running data encryption and pushing victims to pay a so-called ransom. The only difference stands for different names of extensions and notes. Pay Us appends the .pay us extension to each file encrypted. To illustrate, a file like 1.pdf will be changed to 1.pdf.pay us and reset its original icon after encryption. Then, once this process gets to a close, the virus springs into creating a text note (read_me.txt) that contains decryption instructions. As developers state, victims are having the only option to recover the data - that is to pay for decryption tools sold by the extortionists. The price for decryption is set at 1,500$ to be paid in BTC. The Bitcoin rate differs constantly, this is why the price tag can soar up any time in the future. It is quite uncertain how victims will be getting the promised tool after sending the money. There are no e-mail addresses attached for establishing contact with the fraudulent figures. Considering this, obtaining decryption instruments from cybercriminals is full of uncertainty. Therefore, we do not recommend you to do so as there is a risk to lose your money.

AvosLocker is one of the most recent ransomware infections that encrypt personal files using both AES-256 and RSA-2048 algorithms. Along with this, the virus adds new .avos extension to each file that got encrypted. To illustrate, a sample file like 1.pdf will change to 1.pdf.avos and reset its original icon at the end of encryption. After all files have been configured with the new extension, users will see a text note called GET_YOUR_FILES_BACK.txt explaining how to recover the data. To do this, victims are instructed to visit the onion link via Tor browser, enter their personal ID, and therefore get the price for decryption suite to return their data. For now, this looks to be the only option available to recover your data completely. There is no third-party tool that has been successfully tested in decrypting AvosLocker files. It is worth noting that paying the monetary ransom may bear the risk of losing your money as well. This is why the best-case scenario in this situation is using backup copies of data.

Searchgoose.com falls into the list of fake search engines meant to disguise fraudulent activity on Mac. Such engines are usually assigned by unwanted programs known as browser hijackers. Once it plants into your browser, you will Searchgoose.com as a regular homepage address. These changes are impossible to revert as long as there is an unwanted program installed on your system. The reason why Searchgoose.com is considered fake lies in its inability to generate unique results. Instead, it uses legitimate search engines by Yahoo or Bing to display the found results. This technique is often abused to gather illegal traffic for revenue purposes. Moreover, browser hijackers that promote dubious changes are also capable of running data surveillance. Put differently, they may be configured to detect and record data entered during the browsing session. Based on this, it is more than reasonable to delete Searchgoose.com from your computer. Otherwise, it may cause privacy threats you will not be aware of. To run complete deletion without traces, follow our tutorial below.

Yandere Simulator is a legitimate videogame that boggles users on its entire deletion. The game seems to have no uninstaller to run its complete removal. On top of that, this game is light and does not cover large numbers of players. This is why its developers are likely to use third-party banners for advertising purposes to attract more people from the whole world. It is also possible that you could receive it without consent - along with other programs downloaded from the web. Whether downloaded intentionally or not, most people wonder how to delete it correctly, without traces. Therefore, we decided to dedicate this guide right to that issue down below.

In essence, WaasMedic.exe or WaasMedic Agent is an important Update component that runs as a background service on Windows 10. It was first added in the 10th edition of Windows to manage the flawless installation of updates. Specifically, to ensure all update-related components remain healthy and undamaged. Whenever Windows faces an update struggle, Waas.Medic.exe ends up being involved in resolving potential issues. Unfortunately, some users have complained that there is exhaustingly high usage (up to 100%) of system resources when WaasMedic.exe is on. This can be caused by various reasons. For example, WaasMedic.exe may conflict with external devices (Hard drive or USB drive) as they are connected to your computer. In other cases, the culprit can be third-party or anti-malware software that forces WaasMedic.exe to run into compatibility issues. Whatever the case, it is not going to disappear itself. Unless you run the solution, the WaaSMedicSVC service is likely to continue slowing down your system due to high CPU, Disk, or Memory usage. To fix this issue, follow a list of solutions presented in our instructions below.

Browse Safely is promoted as an ostensibly useful extension meant to advance your browsing experience. In fact, it is classified as a browser hijacker, which configures the settings to change your search engine to browsesafelysearch.com and read whatever your enter during browser usage. Along with this, Browse Safely is likely to add a New Tab your browser will start with. Such changes are impossible to undo due to certain settings configured by Browse Safely inside of your system. In other words, there might also be an unwanted program that reinstalls Browse Safely even if you delete it from the list of extensions. Despite Browse Safely adds its own search engine, it does not generate any results. What it does is simply copying search queries from legitimate Yahoo.com (search.yahoo.com). Thus, it is pointless to have Browse Safely part of your browsing life. Moreover, it can capture valuable data like passwords or IP addresses to make a profit on its sales to other figures. This is why it is necessary to remove Browse Safely from your computer without any traces. To do this, follow our tutorial below.

Gru Ransomware blocks access to personal data to earn money on demanding a so-called ransom. Such malware runs file encryption with strong algorithms that prevent users from approaching free decryption. The virus adds the .gru extension to each encrypted file. To illustrate, 1.pdf or any other similar file will change to 1.pdf.gru and reset its original icon. Such changes will be applied to most types of data stored on your system. To regain access to your data, victims are asked to follow instructions outlined inside of the read_it.txt text note, which is created after encryption. Cybercriminals state there is no way to decipher your data without buying special software. The price of such software is established at 1,500$ to be paid in BTC. The payment address can be found at the very bottom of the text note. Unlike other ransomware programs, Gru developers do not ask their victims to establish any sort of contact with them (by e-mail or Tor link). Therefore, It is uncertain how are they going to send you the decryption software once you deliver the money. Thus, trusting Gru Ransomware in terms of paying the ransom is quite a huge risk. Even though its developers might be the only figures able to decrypt your entire data, we recommend against sending your money.

Back in 2018, Homepage.re used to be an extremely annoying browser hijacker which changed users' homepages and search engines set by default. However, it is still common to see it infecting innocent users these days. Homepage.re brings completely new colors to your homepage. It changes its entire appearance to the black background, the new search box, and clickable icons meant to access frequently-used resources (e.g. Facebook, Netflix, Twitter, News, etc.). Developers of browser hijackers do not consent users upon arrival of new changes. Instead, they puzzle inexperienced people who end up endlessly thinking how and where these changes came from. Homepage.re is totally useless as there are no unique results generated that could be liked by users. The hijacker simply displays search queries from legitimate https://search.yahoo.com by Yahoo. This automatically says that Homepage.re pursues only revenue goals, but no improvements for browsing experience. It seeks to earn money on displayed ads and illegal traffic garnered via Yahoo.com. Also worth mentioning that browser hijackers can cause severe privacy issues due to potential data collection. Homepage.re may have access to whatever you search and enter during the browsing session. This and more threats brought in by Homepage.re prove it should be removed from your computer. To do this, follow the easy, yet effective guidelines presented below.
