Arai is a malicious program that targets corporate users to encrypt business data and demand victims pay money for its return. While restricting access to data, the virus alters files with the .araicrypt extension, leading to blank icons as well. For instance, a file like 1.pdf would change to 1.pdf.araicrypt and lose its original icon. After this, data becomes inaccessible and no longer usable. The next step Arai does is creating a text note called READ_TO_RESTORE_YOUR_FILES.txt. This note gives clarification on what happened and how victims can recover from it. In short, cybercriminals inform that all important data (databases, customer data, etc.) has been copied and local backups have been deleted. It is also said that in case of non-compliance with the provided instructions, victims will lose a chance to recover the data and also become subject to suffering both financial and reputational - due to potential data publication that may ensue afterward. Otherwise, victims should contact the swindlers using one of the given email addresses and pay for decryption (supposedly expensive and in cryptocurrency). In such a case, the extortionists promise to wipe out the collected data and not publish it, therefore.

Based on ad-generating algorithms, Advtpro.com is part of an adware program that gets installed on user's PCs inadvertently. Until a potentially unwanted program remains unsolved in your system, you will see this redirect each time at browser boot up. Domains like Advtpro.com are designed to clickbait users on fake "Allow" buttons to enable push notifications. Usually, these actions have to be done under the pretext of passing robot/captcha confirmation or downloading a file. The message on the page usually falsely states, that it is obligatory to click "Allow" button, to confirm, that "you are not a robot". However, allowing false push notifications will lead to the spam of malicious banners right on your desktop. Whilst received ads may seem safe and useful, they can put your privacy at a huge risk by exposing necessary data to cybercriminals. To prevent the aforementioned, you should delete adware related to Advtpro.com from your PC right now.

Ads4pc.com is a transient website that can be visited whilst crossing between pages. Sometimes, the constant appearance of such domains can dictate the presence of adware installed on your PC. Ads4pc.com targets a single purpose - trick users into allowing push notifications that can be seen in the top left corner of your screen. The main page of the site contains a message: Click "Allow" if you are not a robot with a robot image. Once done, your desktop will be overloaded with stubborn notifications about news, sales, product offers, and other types. Unfortunately, most of them are dangerous to click since they can throw users onto malicious websites that run the background installation of malware. Moreover, potentially unwanted programs like adware come to the risk of being spied by cybercriminals. In other words, as long as you have adware installed on your pc, extortionists can gather passwords, IP addresses, geolocations, and other information to capitalize on. Thus, you should remove a program that supports Ads4pc.com to prevent confidential leaks as soon as possible.

Looker is an unwanted browser extension that alters browser settings to install its own homepage address. Software of such is notorious for promoting fake search engines - which oftentimes display results provided by legitimate engines like Google, Yahoo, or Bing. The Looker hijacker is no different, as it redirects all search queries to Microsoft Bing. Developers in charge of such modifications use such a scheme to generate illegal traffic and gain money on various ads. It is also worth noting that some browser hijacker extensions may be able to control permissions, which prevent users from disabling or removing the add-on. The list of permissions may stretch even further and allow suspicious extensions to monitor browsing data (e.g., passwords, IP-addresses, history, geolocations, etc.) and collect it for selling purposes. Based on the clarifications above, we, therefore, advise you to remove the Looker extension and its residual files from your system. Use our guide below to do it fast and without traces.

Kriptor is the name of malicious software categorized as ransomware. Its main purpose lies in the encryption of personal files and extraction of money from victims. The virus starts by restricting access to valuable data (photos, videos, documents, databases etc.). It also changes all the affected filenames with the .Kriptor extension to highlight encryption. For instance, a file previously titled as 1.pdf will change to 1.pdf.Kriptor and reset its icon as well. After this part is done, Kriptor creates a text note (read_it.txt) designed to explain decryption instructions. The desktop wallpapers get replaced as well. It is said victims have an opportunity to contact cybercriminals using one of the following e-mail addresses - leljicok@gmail.com or kkizuko@yandex.com and pay for decryption in Bitcoins. The exact price remains in secret and is to be revealed upon successful reach-out to swindlers. Ransomware developers also offer to test free decryption prior to paying the decryption fee - users are allowed to send up to 3 encrypted files and get them fully accessible in return. This way, cybercriminals try to create an additional bubble of trust, making victims more likely to pay for decryption.
