AccessibleTask is an unwanted/rogue application that runs browser changes similar to adware and browser hijackers on Mac. Adware is a type of software promoting excessively intrusive advertisements, banners, and coupons of various sorts. Most of the time they are considered suspicious or even dangerous as they can lead to malicious pages. Browser hijackers usually act as a great addition to adware. Cybercriminals use them to replace original with fake search engines meant to generate illegal traffic. Although AccessibleTask assigns its own engine, it still redirects users to legitimate search.yahoo.com. In this case, AccessibleTask acts as an intermediary engine meant to falsify visits. By doing so, developers make sure they are gaining money on ostensibly genuine traffic. On top of that, applications that have browser hijacker or adware abilities might scan your browser for sensitive data like passwords, geolocations, IP addresses, and other types of personal intel. Unfortunately, this information can be eventually abused to earn even more money on darknet markets. The presence of AccessibleTask may provoke identity threats, which is why it is advised to delete it as soon as possible. Follow our guide below to do it.

0xxx is a ransomware infection that encrypts various data using AES+RSA algorithms on NAS devices (Western Digital My Book). This measure is done to force victims into paying the so-called ransom in exchange for the blocked data. Just like other malware of this type, 0xxx uses its own extension (.0xxx) to rename the data. For example, a file piece titled as 1.pdf will change its look to 1.pdf.0xxx after encryption. All of these changes indicate that your data is no longer accessible. In other words, there is no way to open it anymore. In order to fix it, victims are called into following ransom instructions inside of the !0XXX_DECRYPTION_README.TXT text note. This note is dropped into each folder containing encrypted files. It is said that victims can decrypt their data by paying a 300 USD ransom in Bitcoin. At first, users are instructed to contact cyber criminals via e-mail. It is necessary to include your unique ID along with 3 files to test free decryption. As soon as contact with cybercriminals becomes established, victims will get the payment details to perform a transfer of money. Although extortionists claim they have no intention to fool you, there have been multiple cases when users did not receive the decryption tools even after the payment.

Before getting to the removal, it is worth knowing what Redeemer Ransomware actually is. It is classified as a file-encrypting virus that blocks access to data stored on a compromised system. In order to show whether it is encrypted or not, Redeemer developers append the .redeem extension to each of the files. For instance, a file like 1.pdf will change its look to 1.pdf.redeem and reset its original icon. The system will no longer be able to open the files whilst they are encrypted. To return control over your data, it is necessary to buy special decryption software along with a unique key. More detailed information on that can be located inside of the Read Me.TXT note, which is created after encryption is over. Just below the Redeemer logo drawn from numbers, cybercriminals ask users to pay 20 XMR (Monero) cryptocurrency, which is about 4000$ for the decryption of data. Once you will be ready to do so, the next step is to contact extortionists attaching your personal ID key via their e-mail address (test@test.test). This is necessary to obtain the payment address for committing a transfer. As soon as they receive your decryption ransom, you should be given the promised tools to recover your data.

Poteston is classified as a ransomware infection that runs encryption of databases, photos, documents, and other valuable data. The whole encryption process can be easily spotted by users looking at new extensions assigned to files. This virus involves the .poteston extension to rename the stored data. To illustrate, a file named 1.pdf will change its look to 1.pdf.poteston as a result of encryption. As soon as these changes are seen, victims will no longer be able to access the data. As soon as these changes are seen, victims will no longer be able to access the data. To restore it, users are given instructions inside of the readme.txt note. Within the note, victims are greeted with bad news - all data we mentioned above has been encrypted. To redeem it back, victims are instructed to contact cyber criminals using their e-mail address (recovery_Potes@firemail.de). After establishing contact with them, you will be supposedly given the necessary details to perform a money transfer. Before doing so, you are also offered to send one of the blocked files for free decryption. This is a trick used by many extortionists to elevate the trust of victims. In addition to that, Poteston developers also inform against renaming encrypted data as you can potentially damage its configuration.

MANSORY is a ransomware infection that runs vigorous encryption on personal and business data. This process involves cryptographic algorithms along with the appendance of new extensions. MANSORY uses the .MANSORY extension to each file piece that has been restricted. For instance, a file like 1.pdf will be changed to 1.pdf.mansory. After experiencing such changes, the blocked files will be no longer accessible. In order to regain access to them, victims have to pay a certain ransom in money. More information on that is presented inside a text note called MANSORY-MESSAGE.txt, which is created after the encryption is done. The first thing cybercriminals say is that gigabytes of valuable data have been downloaded to a secure location. Extortionists use it as collateral for intimidating users with the publication of data in case they refuse to pay money. Victims have a right to know how much data has been uploaded after contacting the cybercriminals via e-mail (selawilsen2021@tutanota.com; dennisdqalih35@tutanota.com; josephpehrhart@protonmail.com). Therefore, they can analyze the value of data that leaked into the hands of extortionists. As we already mentioned, not contacting cybercriminals will result in the gradual publication of data that has been hijacked from your network. To avoid it, victims are required to purchase the decryption software stored by cyber criminals themselves. This will also allow you to unlock all of the blocked data. Besides that, developers of MANSORY Ransomware offer to try free decryption by sending 2 random files from other computers to their e-mail.

PC Performer is considered to be a fake registry cleaner utility. There is a number of similar programs that promote performance-improving tools. Unfortunately, not all of them can brag about quality. This is the case with PC Performer as it is suspected of generating exaggerated results along with false positives. In other words, issues found by PC Performer can be fake and misleading. After locating registry problems, developers will try to impose a paid version of their software. This has to be purchased in order to solve the existing errors. However, it is likely that PC Performer will simply remove false errors and claim your PC to be clean. Thus, there is no benefit in using PC Performer, on the contrary, it may also collect your personal data and sell it to third-party figures. Applications like PC Performer are usually installed without users' consent. This is another trait making this program classified as Potentially Unwanted Software. Therefore, it should be removed from your system as soon as possible. To do this, follow our tutorial below.

Search.gg is the name of a browser hijacker that comes along with unwanted/rogue software. It tries its best to mimic legitimate engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo, and others known to many users. Inexperienced people might barely spot the difference between Google and Search.gg. Some may take it as a regular update change to their browser settings. In fact, the presence of Search.gg in your main homepage address suggests that your browser has been inflicted by unwanted software. This could potentially happen after installing bundled software from third-party resources. Users infected with Search.gg may see new ads and redirects popping whilst surfing the web. This might bother or even downgrade your system performance due to high resource usage. It is rare that people install browser hijackers or adware on purpose. Also with noting that browser hijackers can gather personal data. Because Search.gg has access to changing your browser settings, it may also keep track of your entire activity. Therefore, such data like passwords, IP addresses, or geolocations can be collected and sold to third-party figures. Thus, it is important to run the removal of Search.gg from your computer. To do it, follow our tutorial below.
