Safe.search.tools is a search domain that may replace your default search settings due to some unwanted software installed on your PC. Such capabilities are inherent in browser hijackers - usually small applications or browser add-ons designed to generate revenue by promoting their own changes. They do so by redirecting all search queries through the newly-assigned address, and also by displaying various ads sponsored by third parties. It is also worth mentioning that browser hijackers often promote fake search engines that cannot make their own results. Instead, developers tend to employ already popular engines like Google or Yahoo to generate fake traffic of queries. A browser hijacker that pinned "Safe.search.tools" instead of your default address could also take care of making these changes irreversible. This means you may not be able to reset your settings through the traditional methods. Note that Safe.search.tools is only one of many search engines promoted by hijackers. There can be many other hijackers with similar domain names like "safesearch.net" and so forth. If you spotted a suspicious change similar to what we described above, we recommend you read our guide and learn how to get rid of such changes along with a piece of unwanted software that caused them.

U2K is a ransomware virus designed to render files inaccessible and extort a recovery payment from victims. During encryption, it assigns the .U2K extension and resets icons of all affected files. To illustrate, a file initially titled 1.pdf will change to 1.pdf.U2K and lose its original icon as well. After getting things done with encryption, the virus triggers the creation of the ReadMe.txt text note. This note features instructions on what victims should do in order to return the blocked data. As stated inside the file, the only doable way of decrypting all data is to purchase a unique decryptor. To retrieve it, victims are guided to download Tor Browser, navigate to the attached website link, and open a support ticket with cybercriminals. After starting negotiations, extortionists will likely announce the price and instruct victims on further details for payment. Unfortunately, as experience shows, much damage (primarily encrypted files) is hard to recover without the help of cybercriminals.

Teabot is a trojan infection that seeks extraction of banking-related data. Based on publicly-available reports, it is known that TeaBot has been targeting more than sixty banks across Europe. Upon getting installed onto a smartphone, it demands users to allow certain Accessibility Features by sending a number of pop-up windows. Once the requested permissions are given, developers behind Teabot will become able to control the infected device using Remote Access Tool (RAT). This will allow cybercriminals to deploy any malicious commands they want (e.g. replicate log-in credentials, take screenshots, manage contacts and send messages, disable security layers, record audio, etc.). As mentioned, the main target of this trojan comes down to financial information meaning cybercriminals might be more interested in stealing data from crypto wallets, banking or insurance apps, and so forth. To conclude, the presence of Teabot may and will be extremely dangerous for all kinds of sensitive data unless it is removed from your device. We recommend you do it as soon as possible using our guidelines below. Step-by-step instructions will help you delete it without traces.
