Webhit-now.com is a dubious web domain promoting a push-notification scam that attempts to force users into clicking on the “Allow” button. Users can visit such browser domains inadvertently, normally as a result of clicking on deceptive ads or banners. On the other hand, it may also appear constantly at the browser startup due to an adware infection that got installed in the system. As a rule, the purpose of such pages is to fool users by showing click-bait headlines like "Confirm you are not a robot", "Click Allow if you are not a robot", "Pass Captcha verification", "Click Allow to download a file", "Click Allow to continue browsing", and other similar ones. If these requests are met and the "Allow" button is eventually clicked, then the website will start deploying unwanted ads straight to the desktop. Keep in mind that clicking on the delivered ads can be dangerous - it is possible that they will contain redirects to malicious pages that may be involved in the promotion of other infections as well. The continuous presence of Webhit-now.com and its push-notifications may sometimes be hard to remove. If this is your case, we encourage you to follow our guidelines below and do it fast and without traces.

Cyber_Puffin is almost identical to another ransomware infection called Exploit6. Thus, it is very likely these two infections are promoted by the same group of developers. Likewise, Cyber_Puffin encrypts personal files and blackmails victims into paying money for their return. While restricting access to data, the virus assigns the custom .Cyber_Puffin extension to all affected files. For instance, a file previously named 1.pdf will experience a change to 1.pdf.Cyber_Puffin and become no longer accessible. Alike to Exploit6 Ransomware, the Cyber_Puffin variant creates a text file that displays decryption guidelines after successfully completing encryption. In addition, desktop wallpapers get replaced as well.

Exploit6 is a ransomware infection that encrypts personal files and blackmails victims into paying money for their return. During the encryption process, the file-encryptor changes the file appearance by adding the custom .exploit6 extension. To illustrate, a file previously titled 1.pdf will turn into 1.pdf.exploit6 and become no longer accessible. Alike in other malware of this kind, developers create a text file (READMI.txt) to explain decryption instructions. As said in this note, victims have to establish contact with cybercriminals by sending a message to their Telegram account (@root_exploit6). Although there is no further information about decryption inside the note, developers will more likely give it after reaching out to them. As a rule, collaborating with swindlers and paying money to them is not recommended - this is because there is a chance they will fool you and not give any decryption tool/codes even after completing the payment.

Mol16.biz is a scam website, that uses so-called "social engineering" to subscribe users to push-notifications in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Microsoft Edge on Windows, Mac or Android. This is a browser feature, that allows websites to display their content updates directly on the desktop of the computers (usually in the bottom-right corner). This is widely used on blogs, news portals, YouTube and social networks to inform users about new posts, videos, news articles, friends updates. Mol16.biz exploits this possibility to show advertising. Wondering how this is possible? On the picture below, you can see the typical page, that may trick users into subscribing to notifications. The page shows up when users navigate shady websites and try to access certain content. This can be a video, article, file download, music or picture file. Mol16.biz offers users to click the "Allow" button using various phrases on the page, and at the same time calls a standard browser dialog window, asking to allow notifications. Technically, this in no way can block access to the desired content and this is just a gimmick.

Users are usually entitled to seeing the Showmelinks.com redirect because their system is influenced by some unwanted program. This program could be installed without consent and now run in the background causing browser changes. Apart from Showmelinks.com, an unwanted application may also redirect users to other compromising websites that promote dubious or even malicious content. The unwanted content may consist of various ads, pop-ups, surveys, coupons, and fake alerts that claim your system needs to be updated or protected. Note that some webpages may also be able to execute special scripts that install infections independently of users' participation. Furthermore, if your system is infected with potentially unwanted software that causes undesirable redirects like Showmelinks.com, it may also be capable of gathering browser-related information (e.g., passwords, IP-addresses, geolocations, etc.) and selling it to third-party figures. Although some of this information may seem insignificant, it can be enough to deplete users' privacy and cause other problems as well. We strongly advise you to take the necessary measures and remove the software that causes such changes. Follow our guide below to do it fast and without traces.

Safe-web.tk is considered an unwanted browser domain that claims to provide advanced search features for a better user experience. As a rule, the reason why users start facing such domains in their browsers is that they accidentally installed a browser hijacker program. This program is unwanted and usually installed in the form of a browser extension/add-on. Unfortunately, their functionality is under serious question and oftentimes brings only additional inconvenience to regular users. It is usually the case that browser hijackers generate sponsored ads and cause redirects to dubious pages that users had no interest visiting. Furthermore, software that assigns its changes within browser settings may also be able to track and gather personal information (e.g, saved passwords, IP-addresses, geolocations, etc.) to earn revenue from it afterwards. Unfortunately, many struggle to delete an unwanted extension that led to such alterations. This is because an extension may be backed by a desktop application that works in the background and reassigns its changes in case manual attempts to reset them get made. Software that promote new tab URLs, homepages, and replaces default search engines targets popular browsers, such as Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and others as well. We advise you to use our guide below in order to perform the browser hijacker removal correctly and without traces.

Polis is a recent ransomware infection. Alike other malware within this category, it renders files inaccessible and demands victims to pay a monetary ransom. During encryption, the virus assigns its own .polis extension to highlight the blocked data. For instance, an innocent file previously named 1.pdf will change its name to 1.pdf.polis and reset the original icon as well. Following this, Polis Ransomware creates a text note (Restore.txt) to instruct what victims should do. It is said victims have 2 days to establish contact with cybercriminals (via e-mail) and pay money to them for decryption. Otherwise, if the deadline will not be met, extortionists promise to publish the uploaded copies of locked data on special public domains. By posing such threats, cybercriminals try to make victims act immediately and follow what the guidelines say.

Jammennaps.com is a suspicious page that can be accessed either by accidentally clicking on ads or due to Potentially Unwanted Programs that might exploit your system. In fact, the website has no useful information because it simply tricks users into allowing push notifications in order to pass Captcha, download a file, enter a page, or something similar. It acts as an intermediary page, before proceeding to view the video, download file it shows the following message: Click "Allow" to confirm that you are not a robot!. There is also a small browser dialog window with "Allow" and "Block" in the top-left corner, shown. If allowed, your desktop will be flooded by unwanted or even dangerous ads leading to malicious domains, via the standard notifications function, just like YouTube or the social networks inform you of the new content. Furthermore, if Jammennaps.com pops up consistently, there is a high probability that your browser is being spied by third-parties figures. To avert this, you should delete a program that forcefully opens Jammennaps.com.
