Captchacoolnow.top is another suspicious domain promoting spam notifications. Whether visited intentionally or not, users will see a pop-up window asking to allow push-notifications. This permission is ostensibly meant to confirm you are not a robot, pass Captcha, watch a video, download files, or other fake actions. In fact, after enabling web-notifications, your desktop will start receiving a continuous flow of banners, coupons, and other types of advertising content. Even if it seems innocent at first glance, there can be unwanted or malicious redirects concealed inside of them. This means that after clicking on such ads, you may end up on a completely different page you did not expect. Also, if you see Captchacoolnow.top each time at browser startup, your PC might be infected with adware that modified browser settings. Such changes mean that the infection may have access to surveil and gather personal data (passwords, IP-addresses, geolocations, etc.). Thus, based on all of these facts, we advise you to follow our guide below and delete a program that opens Captchacoolnow.top from your computer.

If you were attacked by the virus, your files are encrypted, not accessible, and got .hhmm extensions, that means your PC is infected with Hhmm Ransomware (sometimes called STOP Ransomware or Djvu Ransomware, named after .djvu extension, that was initially added to encrypted files). This encryption virus was very active since 2017 (.hhmm appeared in the middle of February, 2023) and has caused great financial damage to thousands of users. Unfortunately, there is very difficult to track down the malefactors, because they use anonymous TOR servers and cryptocurrency. However, with instructions, given in this article you will be able to remove Hhmm Ransomware and return your files. Hhmm Ransomware creates _readme.txt file, that is called "ransom note" and contains payment instructions and contact details. Virus puts it on the desktop and in the folders with encrypted files. Developers can be contacted via emails: support@freshmail.top and datarestorehelp@airmail.cc.

Yourcaptchanow.top is one of many suspicious websites trying to fool users into subscribing to unreliable notifications. To do so, the page asks clicking on the "Allow" button – often under the pretext of continuing to browse, passing a Captcha, watching a video, downloading a file, or something else. The one users get, depends on what activity was being implemented before ending up on the page. Notifications that Yourcaptchanow.top sends might consist of malicious redirects, offers to download ostensibly "useful" software, and other types of compromised content. You should avoid clicking on them as it may otherwise lead to malware infections. Also, if Yourcaptchanow.top started appearing in your browser for no obvious reason (e.g., clicking on ads, buttons, or links), then it might be that your PC is affected by adware. Adware is a type of small and unwanted software that stealthily sneaks into the system and causes changes in browser settings – to display various content and redirects. You can use our guide to get rid of suspicious notifications and other content promoted by adware.

DockMode is an unwanted app that belongs to the AdLoad malware family, which is notorious for developing a number of similar-functioning adware infections. DockMode is one of them as it modifies browser settings to promote intrusive advertisements, which will appear in vast amounts on various pages that users visit. Such ads often contain redirects to scam pages, adult websites, malicious pages distributing malware, and other dubious/dangerous resources as well. In addition, software like DockMode can hijack browser settings to install new search engines and run data surveillance (e.g., history, geolocation, IP addresses, passwords, credit card credentials, etc.) while users browse the web. Thus, DockMode's presence may lead to privacy threats, financial losses, and other kinds of risks for users infected by it and hence it needs to be removed. Learn the complete and trace-free removal process to get rid of the unwanted program in our instructions below.

"Summon To Court For Pedophilia" is one of the countless fake e-mail spam messages attempting to convince users they have been accused of doing some illegal activity. This specific spam campaign pretends to be a government entity that summons "offenders" to show up in court and participate in the judicial process related to pedophilia crimes. This fake e-mail has mainly been distributed in two versions - one in French and another in Lithuanian, English, and Dutch (note that other versions may be as well). The subject titles that these e-mails included were often "Fwd_ N°5326EU-FR2022 PROCÈS VOUS CONCERNANT..eml" and "šaukimas į teismą Nr. 9941/2022.". Cybercriminals behind such e-mails use a number of visual elements to convince the recipients, such as images and logos of official governmental bodies, highlighted text lines, deadlines, and so forth. They accuse recipients of being involved in pedophilia, sex trafficking, child pornography, and other crimes, which must be justified within 72 hours unless recipients want to bear severe consequences. Please note that the information stated in such e-mail is completely fake and propagated by threat actors themselves, not by governmental bodies or any other kinds of legitimate entities. The goal of cybercriminals who spread such e-mails is simply to trick users into contacting them. Afterwards, swindlers might ask to provide sensitive and private information, pay "fines", or perform other actions. Thus, it is important to ignore such e-mails and do not do what they say. In addition, you should never open links or attachments from such letters as they can be designed to distribute malware infections and other potentially dangerous content. Read our guide to learn other dangers of e-mail spam messages and aversion techniques against them.

Vvoo Ransomware is a conditional name, given by security experts, for the recent version of STOP/Djvu Ransomware, that appends .vvoo extensions to files. STOP Ransomware is a wide-spread, long-living ransomware infection, that has been active since 2017. As it uses RSA-1024 cryptography encryption and online key (in most cases) direct decryption using released decryptors is currently not effective. However, some methods of file-recovery, provided in this article, may help you restore some of your files or even all the data. If your files were encrypted with offline key (2-3% of all cases) 100% decryption becomes possible with STOP Djvu Decryptor from EmsiSoft, featured on the page below. In general, Vvoo Ransomware creates ransom note _readme.txt, that contains decryption conditions, amount of ransom and contact details.

PYAS is classified as ransomware. This malicious piece of software is designed to encrypt system-stored data and hold it hostage to make users pay a ransom. The name of this file encryptor comes from the .PYAS extension, which gets assigned to each affected file during encryption. For instance, a file like 1.pdf will change to 1.pdf.PYAS, and so forth with other data. After successful encryption, the virus drops the README.txt text note that features decryption instructions. The note contains a brief text saying all types of essential data have been encrypted and that victims have to contact extortionist(s) via the Discord platform ("mtkiao129#2443" username) in order to get decryption of files. As a rule, cybercriminals behind ransomware infections seek to extort money from victims – thus, it is less likely that PYAS is an exception. Paying the ransom or providing the sensitive information to attackers is highly not recommended.
