Bom is the name of a ransomware infection. Malware within this category encrypts system-stored data and demands victims to pay money for its return. This ransomware variant is also a by-product of the VoidCrypt family. During encryption, the virus renames all targeted files according to this example - 1.png.[tormented.soul@tuta.io][MJ-KB3756421908].bom. Your renamed files may slightly vary (e.g., different string of characters), but the basis will remain the same. After successfully restricting access to data, the ransomware creates a text note called Scratch - to provide decryption guidelines.

Webslick24.com is a deceptive website that exploits the browser's push-notifications feature to fool users into allowing the stream of unwanted content. It says users should click on the "Allow" button in order to bypass Captcha verification - "prove you are not a robot". Here are all the messages Webslick24.com or similar pages tend to display depending on what you did before visiting the web page. If you see one of these or other similar claims on such dubious pages, they are more likely fake and simply designed to promote unwanted ads. As a rule, permitting push-notifications from such websites will direct a number of potentially unwanted notifications to your desktop. The notifications displayed may try to convince you your system is infected with malware. This is often to make users believe in non-existent threats and download some sponsored security software. Notifications received from websites like Webslick24.com can also contain redirects to adult pages, online casinos, and various other unwanted resources.

DASHA Ransomware is a new variant of Eternity Ransomware. This malware is designed to encrypt system-stored data and demand money for its decryption. While restricting access to files (e.g., photos, videos, documents, databases, etc.), the virus alters file appearance with the .ecrp extension. For instance, a file previously named 1.pdf will therefore change to 1.pdf.ecrp and become no longer accessible. Once this process gets to a close and all targeted files are eventually renamed, DASHA replaces the desktop wallpapers and displays a pop-up window with ransom instructions.

GeneralProtocol is an unwanted piece of software classified as a browser hijacker. After running stealth installation of Mac, it starts promoting suspicious browser changes. This includes a change of the default homepage and search engine as well. GeneralProtocol assigns its own homepage address but redirects all queries to the legitimate Yahoo. Many browser hijackers employ this scheme to generate traffic on displayed advertisements. Alike many other hijackers, GeneralProtocol may be installed in the form of a browser extension, desktop application, or even both. Having such software installed may lead to various security risks, ranging from malware infection through promoted redirects or even surveillance of sensitive data (passwords, IP-addresses, geolocations). It is also often the case that users struggle to get rid of the assigned changes on their own - due to the "Managed by your organization" setting that many hijackers employ. If you are subject to facing the same problem as well, follow our guide to delete the infection fast and correctly. We will also give you some useful advice on how to protect yourself against such threats in the future.
