Your Mac is infected with 3 viruses is a fake social-engineering trick that can suddenly appear alongside your browsing session. It was designed to urge naive users that their computers are infected and need an urgent scan to rectify detected threats. In fact, if you constantly see redirects to this page, then you might be truly infected with some malicious application, however, not with those they are imposing. These kinds of redirects are meant to promote system optimization tools and anti-malware software that ostensibly protects your system. However, all of this is a big fool and cannot be considered seriously. Instead, under the veil of legitimately-looking software, these applications are typically designed to display long lists of infections that do not exist. Unfortunately, free versions of these apps are not capable of removing all the viruses, therefore, trick you into opting for the paid version that will just clear out the fabricated list of issues. This means that extortionists employ this method simply for snatching money out of inexperienced users. On top of that, allegedly useful applications can modify system settings and gobble up myriads of computer resources hence slowing PC down significantly. "Your Mac is infected with 3 viruses" pop-up is a fraudulent trick that has to be avoided and removed from your computer by following the steps below.

Being part of the Djvu/STOP family, Xash is a new ransomware infection targeting data encryption. It was released in the middle of May 2023. Just like other malware of this type, STOP Ransomware of this version appends its own .xash extension to encrypted files. In the vast majority of cases, data becomes undecryptable with conventional methods. Only 1-2% of occasions can be decrypted by designated decryption tool. However, with instructions we provide on this page, there is high chance you'll recover some important files. To illustrate, an innocent file like 1.mp4 will change to 1.pdf.xash, and similarly with other files. Developers of ransomware infections pursue monetary benefits – this is why there are providing paid instructions to decrypt your data. This information can be found in a text note (_readme.txt) created in each folder with the encrypted files.

ZEUS Virus Detected is a forged virus-alert message designed for Mac users that can appear in a browser as a result of suspicious redirects. Usually, these kinds of redirects are happening inadvertently when clicking on ads, however, sometimes they can be seen due to Potentially Unwanted Applications installed on your computer. The following message claims that your computer is infected with a malvertising piece that gathers your personal data like passwords, IP-addresses, geolocations and so on. Although, this is a type of scam that tricks users into calling the extortionists via the attached phone number to get paid instructions on how to get rid of the virus. More likely that frauds will offer to buy fake licensed software that will rectify the detected issues. Remember that this ostensibly official customer service is fake and has nothing to do with Apple meaning that the detected threat is fabricated and cannot be taken seriously. Moreover, your computer might be already virus-free and does not require any assistance. Of course, if you constantly see such messages when opening the browser, then this can be a result of PUAs sneaking on your computer and gathering the data to generate these kinds of redirects. We have prepared a full guide on how to remove the "ZEUS Virus Detected" pop-up from your computer.

"YOUR APPLE COMPUTER HAS BEEN LOCKED" is a fake error message displayed in a pop-up window by a malicious website. Its main purpose is to convince users that their Mac is under infection and that all sensitive information (banking data, e-mails, passwords, etc.) is at risk of getting stolen. The pop-up message, therefore, claims users should call certified Apple Support using the provided phone number (1-877-271-8604) to ostensibly solve the issue, which, in fact, is non-existent. Please note that the specified number has nothing to do with the official Apple Support and is simply designed to trick users into paying for irrelevant malware removal services. Such a pop-up message ("YOUR APPLE COMPUTER HAS BEEN LOCKED") is just a scam and must not be trusted. Usually, if users call the provided phone number, scammers may ask to install some third-party software and let them control your system remotely. Trusting your computer into the hands of potential cybercriminals is never a good idea as they can drop some real malware even after you pay for their services.

Gatz Ransomware is a disastrous virus, that uses AES encryption algorithms to encrypt users' files. After encoding, files obtain following extensions: .gatz. The malware aims at encryption of personal data, such as documents, photos, videos, music, e-mails. Deep encoding makes those files unapproachable, and decryption instruments available today cannot help in most cases. To start automatically each time the OS starts, the cryptographer creates an entry in the Windows registry key that defines a list of programs that start when the computer is turned on or restarted. To determine which key to use for encryption, Gatz Ransomware tries to establish a network connection with its command server. The virus sends information about the infected computer to the server and receives the encryption key from it. In addition, the command server can send additional commands and modules to the virus that will be executed on the victim's computer. If the data exchange with the command server was successful, the virus uses the received encryption key (online key). This key is unique for each infected computer. If Gatz Ransomware was unable to establish a connection with its server, a fixed key (offline key) will be used to encrypt files.

"app_name Will Damage Your Computer. You Should Move It To The Trash" (or "app_name Will damage your computer. You should move it to the Bin.") is a type of security alert that appears in a pop-up window when Mac detects and considers an installed program to be potentially harmful. As a rule, it is often the presence of adware, browser hijackers, and other potentially unwanted apps (some examples include APMHelper, FocusReportingService, HIPRADE, Helperamc, Helpermcp, MapsAndDirections-1668307, ProntoApp, and many others as well) that trigger Mac to react with this message. Such apps are typically installed by accident while downloading some dubious program installers from third-party websites. Unwanted software may indeed be harmful to users – it may display untrustworthy ads, cause random redirects in browsers, replace default search engines, lead users to phishing websites, and so forth. In rarer cases, the "* Will Damage Your Computer. You Should Move It To The Trash" may also be forged by an unwanted program (like adware) to trick users into opening some phishing or malicious website. Using the Move to Trash button does not always guarantee that an unwanted app will be fully removed from the system. Therefore, it is also worth giving your Mac a thorough scan to make sure nothing unwanted is present.
