Being a successor of Djvu Ransomware, Coba is a ransomware-type virus that targets personal data. Just like other malware of this type, Coba runs data encryption to demand monetary ransom from victims. All files attacked by Coba (including pictures, databases, documents, etc.) will be restricted from access and altered visually as well. For example, a file like 1.pdf will change its look to 1.pdf.coba at the end of encryption. Developers of this ransomware variant apply the .coba extension to each of the target files stored on a system. The next thing it does after manipulating data extensions creates a ransom note (_readme.txt) that contains decryption instructions. Once users open it up, they will be presented with text written by cybercriminals. This text provides information on how to return the encrypted data.

Watch Movies Live is a browser hijacker that installs a fake search engine (search.watchmovieslivetab.app), changes the homepage appearance, and gathers browser-related data without the consent of users. All these traits indicate that Watch Movies Live is unwanted and should not be used. Cybercriminals use the search.watchmovieslivetab.app as an intermediary page before showing search results from the official search.yahoo.com. By doing so, developers forge their traffic and earn money on it. In addition, the installation of Watch Movies Live brings a number of widgets (e.g., a quick search for different movies, news weather, etc.). And while these features may seem useful at first glance, they are simply a veil for the illegal and unwanted activity of the browser hijacker.

Luckydatingspot.top is an unwanted website that asks users to click on the "Allow" button in order to load/watch a video. Depending on certain factors, users may also see other messages asking to verify that you are not a robot, download a file, continue browsing, and so forth. Note that messages shown by websites like Luckydatingspot.top are usually fake and simply designed to trick users into clicking on the "Allow" button. Doing so will simply allow the domain to send shady push notifications straight to the desktop. Such notifications may consist of unwanted ads, fake system alerts, redirects to online scams, adult pages, pages promoting suspicious software, and more that may be compromising for users' privacy and computer safety. Furthermore, the Luckydatingspot.top itself may cause additional redirects to various rogue resources with adult content (e.g., vip-datings-here.life). If you accidentally allowed notifications from Luckydatingspot.top, use our guide to remove them. Also, if your browser displays Luckydatingspot.top without your consent on a regular basis, this is likely because your system is infected with adware. Follow our guide below to take measures against it as well.

SkullLocker is a new ransomware variant. The research indicates it was developed on the basis of Chaos Ransomware – another devastating and well-known infection. Upon successful infiltration, SkullLocker encrypts access to files, adds its own .skull extension, and creates a ransom note (read_it.txt) with decryption instructions written in the Polish language. Here is a full text presented in the note along with its translation to English. Overall, cybercriminals demand users make a payment within 72 hours, otherwise, the data will be permanently lost. Users are asked to familiarize themselves with payment and recovery details via the attached TOR link. In addition, the note advises against trying to recover files manually as doing so may cause permanent damage to files.

Coaq Ransomware is the subtype of STOP Ransomware (or DJVU Ransomware) and has all the characteristics of this family of viruses. Malware blocks access to the data on the victim's computers by encrypting it with the AES encryption algorithm. STOP Ransomware is one of the longest living ransomware. First infections were registered in December 2017. Coaq Ransomware with such suffix is yet another generation of it and appends .coaq extensions to encrypted files. Following the encryption, the malware creates a ransom note file: _readme.txt on the desktop and in the folders with encoded files. In this file, hackers provide information about decryption and contact details, such as e-mails: support@freshmail.top and datarestorehelp@airmail.cc.

Some users happen to see the "Bad Request" error code 400 while trying to launch Roblox in their browser(s). The issue indicates there is a connection issue between the game's client and server that receives the request. Here is a full error message that users can see: "Bad Request 400 | There was a problem with your request". This issue may be related to corrupted browser files, incorrect network settings, damaged DNS server cache, and even problems on the side of the server itself. You can check whether Roblox severs experience any issues at the moment using the official Roblox Server Status or DownDetector. If everything seems fine with the server, then the connection issue may originate from your PC and should be resolved individually. Follow our guide below to try each solution and potentially fix the "Bad Request" error code 400.

Some people get unlucky to encounter connection issue VAN 135 (usually in Windows 10 or 11), which essentially prevents playing Valorant. As a rule, there are many error codes starting with VAN (like 1067, 57, 9001, etc.) and all of them frequently indicate some connection problem. This is the kind of message players tend to receive when seeing this error appear at the launch of the game: "CONNECTION ERROR VALORANT has encountered a connection error. Please relaunch the client to reconnect. Error Code: VAN 135". It can be either a server issue on the Valorant end (for example, temporary maintenance or shutdown) or an individual issue on a player's PC. In case there is something wrong with the Valorant server, the responsibility does not lie on you, and you should wait until the issue gets resolved on their end. You can check whether something is wrong with the server itself using the official status checker by Riot or DownDetector. If everything seems fine with the server, and you continue to stumble upon the same VAN 135 or similar connection issue, try solutions from our guide to resolve this issue. It is possible that there is a problem with your connection specifically.
