Goog.goodsearch.com is a dubious domain promoted by unwanted software known as browser hijackers. Browser hijackers can be installed on users' systems in form of a browser extension, stealth desktop application, or even both and promote unhealthy browser changes. For instance, one of such innovations is usually the addition of suspicious domains like Goog.goodsearch.com that are supposed to act as standalone search engines and process users' search entries/queries. In reality, the majority of such engines are fake and eventually lead to legitimate search portals like Yahoo, Google, Bing, and so forth. Another common symptom of browser hijackers can be a sudden redirection to promoted pages. Resources that get opened unwillingly (i.e. without users' consent) often promote unwanted software, online scams, adult pages, and even malware infections. Furthermore, browser hijackers are sometimes also regarded as "data-stealers". This is because some of them may access sensitive information in browsers (e.g. IP-addresses, geolocations, history, cookies, passwords, usernames, etc.) and collect it for selling or abuse purposes. Thus, if you see Goog.goodsearch.com constantly in your address bar, do not delay to scan your system and clear the browser from assigned changes - all the instructions are in our article below.

Vividcaptcha.top is a bogus domain that exploits browsers' push-notification system vulnerability. Adware affects Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, or Edge. Unlike, other typical browser adware, it does not install any browser add-ons and extensions. Instead, it uses a social engineering trick to make users allow push notifications from Vividcaptcha.top domain. To do it, website displays misleading messages, like Press "Allow" to watch the video, Click "Allow" button to download file, etc. Along with that, Vividcaptcha.top generates a standard browser dialog window to allow notifications. If victim clicks the button, adware modifies corresponding settings and bombards desktops or phones with ads and pop-ups, even when browser windows are closed. We prepared this easy guide to help you remove Vividcaptcha.top from the browser and stop push notifications.

PC App Store is an unwanted program (classified as adware) that gets deceptively distributed across Windows users. On the initial basis, this program promises to deliver and install new updates for various software in a convenient way. And although these capabilities may function as declared, the number of side features can turn out harmful and put users' safety at risk. While using updates or installations delivered by PC App Store, the system may also get additionally infected with other unwanted software (e.g., browser hijackers, fake system optimizers/antiviruses, etc.). Thus, it is advised to avoid updating or installing software via PC App Store. In addition to this, PC App Store also promotes various banners and ads that may lead to dubious websites distributing potentially unwanted software or even malware. Programs like PC App Store are also often suspected of running data-tracking manipulations. In other words, they can stealthily track and gather sensitive information, such as IP addresses, geolocations, browser history, usernames, passwords, banking credentials, and other personal data. The collected data can therefore be monetized by selling it to third-parties. Use our guide below to delete PC App Store and prevent the aforementioned threats that may arise from its presence.

OBZ is a ransomware-type virus that encrypts access to data and blackmails victims into paying money for decryption. At the time of encryption, the virus alters targeted files with the .OBZ extension. For instance, a file originally named 1.pdf will turn into 1.pdf.OBZ or 1.pdf.obz depending on which ransomware version penetrated the system. In addition, victims also reported seeing a malicious process named Traffic Light in Windows Task Manager. Once the encryption process gets to a close, OBZ Ransomware creates a text document (ReadMe.txt) that features decryption instructions. It is worth noting that the content of this ransom note is identical to other previously discovered U2K and MME ransomware, which may indicate that OBZ was developed by the same group of developers.

0x80070103 is an update error that has gained substantial popularity across many Windows 11 users. It occurs when users are trying to install the latest pending update in their system. The error becomes evident when the following message comes up on the screen: "There were some problems installing updates, but we’ll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help – (0x80070103).". The reason why this issue appears is usually related to driver incompatibilities. This can be if Windows Update is attempting to install an already installed driver, if you have an incompatible driver version installed, or if the driver is being used by some other program while Windows tries to update it. The guilty driver can be related to any piece of hardware like graphics, audio, and so forth. Luckily, there are a couple of simple solutions that may resolve the issue and get you to install the update successfully. Use our guide to try them.

CryWiper is a devastating virus that damages the configuration of data to make it inaccessible and then demands money from victims for fake decryption. CryWiper developers disguise their software as ransomware that encrypts data, however, it is in fact a data wiper that simply corrupts the files. While running "encryption", the virus deletes all shadow copies from the root drive and appends the new .CRY extension to highlight the files. For instance, a file originally named 1.pdf will turn into 1.pdf.CRY and become permanently damaged. After this, CryWiper creates a file called README.txt with misleading decryption instructions. It is known that CryWiper avoids damaging .exe, .dll, .lnk, .msi, and .sys files and others stored in Boot, System, and Windows directories. In addition, this virus has also been observed getting distributed via the browserupdate.exe malicious file, programmed in C++ language, and targetting organizations that are localized in Russia.

DLLRegisterServer Was Not Found is a message error that makes its presence known when users are trying to manually register a DLL (Dynamic Link Library) or OCX (OLE Control EXtension) file via Command Prompt. It has also been reported to occur on both Windows 10 and 11. While there is no single reason that drives users to see this error, it can be related to a lack of certain permissions in registry keys, corrupted/missing system file elements, problematic DLL files, or even incompatibilities caused by the side of third-party software (such as antivirus). Trying to find the exact reason and solution immediately is like a shot in the dark, so we advise you to try each method we wrote down below until the issue gets resolved eventually. The instructions are almost the same on both Windows 10 and 11 operating systems.

Beijing is a ransomware-classified infection that encrypts access to data and demands that victims pay money for its decryption. This file encryptor is also likely released by the same cybercriminals who previously developed another ransomware named LeakTheMall. During encryption, victims will see their files change visually - it is the new .beijing that will be eventually added to them. For instance, an originally named 1.pdf will change to 1.pdf.beijing and become no longer accessible. After this, the virus creates text instructions in !RECOVER.txt explaining what should be done to recover the data.
