PositiveUser is considered an unwanted program that tends to install without users' consent on Mac. Its capabilities are most similar to browser hijackers and adware - both of which are types of unwanted software meant to promote suspicious browser changes and generate low-quality ads. Some of the symptoms can be a replacement of the homepage and a new search engine. Note that many search engines employed by hijackers are fake and unable to generate any unique results. Instead, they execute their features on the basis of legitimate engines like Yahoo, Google, or Bing to generate illegal traffic and gain some revenue. PositiveUser can be installed in the form of a browser extension, but may also be backed by a desktop application. Having such software installed may lead to various security risks, ranging from malware infection through promoted ads/pages or even surveillance of sensitive data (passwords, IP-addresses, geolocations). If you are struggling to get rid of the assigned changes on your own, you can follow our guide to do so fast and correctly. We will also give you some useful information on how to protect yourself against such threats in the future.

Users might see Barosearch.com as their default homepage domain due to a browser hijacker infection. Browser hijackers are a type of unwanted software designed to cause various browser changes, such as replacement of homepages, assignment of new search engines, and even excessive generation of ads. When users are infected with this hijacker (usually a browser extension called Baro Search), all search queries get redirected through barosearch.com to trafficjunction.com and then finish on the legitimate Bing.com. Cybercriminals involve a chain of various domains to generate fake traffic and gain money on advertising content, for instance. It is also worth noting that many hijackers can surveil browser-related data. This means sensitive information like passwords, IP-addresses, or geolocations may end up in the hands of threat actors for future exploitation. This is why we recommend you get rid of these changes and make sure this unwanted software in charge is removed from your browser and PC as well. Follow our guide below to do it fast and without traces.

Fynweb.com is meant to tug users into allowing push notifications. This action is claimed to be necessary for watching a video, verifying Captcha, or accessing some website. Fynweb.com asks its visitors to click on the "Allow" button that pops on top of the screen. Unfortunately, this website is a pure scam designed to carry a number of dubious ads into the system. After allowing the above-mentioned permissions, Fynweb.com will start bombarding your desktop with various ads. They may seem useful or innocent judging on their appearance alone, however, this can be a mask actually leading to dangerous websites. If you see Fynweb.com open each time at browser startup, then your PC is likely to be infected with adware, which configured inner system settings. It is also possible adware has changed your browser settings to gather personal data (IP addresses, geolocations, passwords, etc.) entered whilst surfing the web. To make sure Fynweb.com poses no threat to your system and data, it is important to remove its traces completely. Follow our guide below to do this.

Unable to verify update. iOS [version] failed verification because you are no longer connected to the internet. is exactly the error some users may receive while trying to install the latest update on their device - most often ranging from iOS 14 to 16. This happens when iPhone cannot establish the proper server connection to retrieve information for update verification. Usually, the most common reason why it occurs is because of unstable or absent internet connection. Sometimes the reason can also be insufficient storage space that has to be freed to let the update install. In case retrying the update does not resolve the issue and continues running into the same message, you can turn down to our guidelines below and fix the problem together with us!

Most commonly, victims of this error have had their iPhones operating on iOS 12, 13, 14, or 15. It is also quite similar to other iPhone issues (53, 14, 10, 2015, 1110, 3194, etc.) we have discussed in previous troubleshooting articles on our website. In general, there is no single reason related to the appearance of such errors. The causes may vary broadly in each individual case - badly connected USB cable, outdated software, system glitch, insufficient memory, compatibility issues, and other possible reasons as well. Below, we have gathered a list of solutions that are most likely to resolve the issue and let you update your device eventually. Follow along and try each step we offer until the issue gets resolved.

PLAY is a ransomware-type virus that runs encryption of important data and extorts money from victims. While rendering files inaccessible, it assigns the .PLAY extension and also creates a text note called ReadMe.txt. For instance, a file previously titled 1.pdf will change to 1.pdf.PLAY and reset it's icon after encryption. Since then, victims lose control over their data and have to read instructions on its recovery in the created text note. It is common for ransomware infections to be distributed via phishing techniques. A virus may be disguised as some legitimate-looking file (e.g., Word, Excel, PDF, EXE, JavaScript, RAR, ZIP, etc.) and be sent inside of an e-mail spam letter. Such a letter may present information explaining the “importance” of opening attached files or links.

Ransomcrow is a ransomware infection designed to encrypt valuable data and blackmail victims into paying money for its retrieval. During encryption, it assigns the .encrypted extension, which is generic to many file-encryptors. To illustrate, a file initially named 1.pdf will change to 1.pdf.encrypted and also drop its icon. After this, the virus creates a text note called readme.txt and also replaces desktop wallpapers. Information within the generated note is meant to guide victims through the recovery process. It is said a payment equivalent to €50 in Bitcoins is necessary for transfer to get special decryption tools and return the data. Victims can also contact swindlers for in-person communication via the given email address (ransomcrow@proton.me). As a rule, decryption without the help of cybercriminals is very complex and even impossible - it may be the opposite if there are some bugs or flaws alleviating third-party interference.

Entry-system.xyz is a malicious website designed for tricking users into allowing push notifications. Entry-system.xyz and other similar domains claim that you should click on the "Allow" button to verify that you are not a robot; to continue browsing or other tempting headlines. Unfortunately, once allowed, it will start sending tons of unwanted advertisements to your desktop that contain malicious redirects to adult pages, free file-hosting websites, and other dubious resources that are meant to distribute various infections. Such pages can be visited either by inadvertently clicking on malvertising ads or because adware is installed on your computer and modifies browser settings. Besides that, unwanted programs that alter browser configuration can easily spy on your activity that displays information like passwords, IP-addresses, geolocations, and search queries. The gathered data is therefore sent to third-parties for income purposes. If you spotted that your browser is acting weird by displaying various sites without your permission, then you should immediately delete malware from your PC by following the guide below.
