How to remove KMA47 Ransomware and decrypt .encrypt files
KMA47 was developed for the sole purpose - to encrypt personal data and demand money for its return. Such a virus falls into the category of high-risk ransomware infections. The process of data encryption starts with the addition of new .encrypt extension at the end of blocked files and finishes with the creation of read_me.txt - a ransom note explaining instructions on how to recover the files. For instance, a file like
1.pdf
will change to 1.pdf.encrypt
and reset its icon. KMA47 also changes victims' wallpapers. The note says got hacked by the virus resulting in full data encryption. In order to fix it, victims are guided to contact cyber criminals using e-mail communication (manager@mailtemp.ch or helprestoremanager@airmail.cc) and pay a ransom of 100$ eventually. After sending the money, ransomware developers should send your private key and special decryption software to unlock the data. Although cybercriminals might be the only figures able to fully decrypt your data, paying the ransom does not always guarantee you will get it eventually. Unfortunately, manual decryption is also less likely due to strong algorithms and online storage of keys. You can give it a try using third-party decryptors unless you have backup copies available. If you have spare files stored on the safe cloud or physical storage, copy them back and avoid paying the ransom. How to fix iPhone error 10

How to remove Searchie (search.strtpoint.com)
Searchie is categorized as a browser hijacker. This means it can access your browser settings to change the default search engine and promote deceptive content like ads. This, therefore, may lead to a diminished browsing experience due to increased data and CPU usage. It is also likely to raise a number of privacy and malware threats. Users affected by this browser hijacker usually have their homepage address replaced with
searchie.net
. Some users reported the hijacker redirects their queries through search.strtpoint.com
- a suspicious search engine providing insecure results. As a rule, the promoted content may be linked with potentially unwanted or even dangerous resources (e.g. adult pages, casinos, scam pages, web games, etc.) which can be designed to spread other infections. Searchie usually has its own extension mainly targeting Windows users. However, such type of software may be developed for Mac systems as well. It may also be backed with some unwanted program functioning on a victim's PC to harden the process of manual deletion. There is no doubt Searchie must be removed from your system to stave off numerous threats we mentioned above. You can do it by following our tutorial below. How to remove Eeyee Ransomware and decrypt .eeyee files
Eeyee is a dangerous virus that executes data encryption using cryptographic ciphers to restrict victims from accessing it. Such type of infection is classified as ransomware and aims to pull its victims into sending money for the decryption. In order to show that files stored on a PC have been encrypted, the virus assigns its own .eeyee extension with strings of random symbols generated uniquely for each encrypted sample. For instance, a file like
1.pdf
will face a change to 1.pdf._9kS79wzVPITFK7aqOYOceNkL7HXF2abMSeeTutfPGP_I8Rqxs2yWeo0.eeyee
or similarly with other symbols. Encrypted files will be blocked from any access and also reset their icons to blank. Almost immediately after encryption, Eeyee creates the 6pZZ_HOW_TO_DECRYPT.txt text note with ransom instructions. The note is meant to inform victims about the changes and guide them through the recovery process. Cybercriminals say it is mandatory to purchase special decryption software to return the files and prevent leaks of the compromised data. Victims are instructed to contact the swindlers using the onion link in Tor Browser. After completing these steps, victims will get in touch with the developers and learn further details on buying the tools. The note also contains some messages advising to not modify data or ask for help from third parties (FBI, Police, Recovery companies, etc.). How to remove ConnectionOptimizer (Mac)
ConnectionOptimizer is the name of a browser hijacker that infects machines working on macOS. It may be installed on your system as an extension, separate program, or even both after downloading some freeware software. Browser hijackers are software designed to change browser settings to set up fake search engines and spread promotional content. ConnectionOptimizer does exactly the same on various popular browsers like Google Chrome or Safari. The new search engine assigned by it is fake and redirects users through legal Yahoo or Bing. It is also capable of generating additional content like ads to gather clicks and gain some money for the developers. Although ConnectionOptimizer may sound helpful, its functions are totally useless and can be unsafe. Furthermore, browser hijackers tend to have full control of a browser making it difficult to reset the changes via traditional means. You can see the "Managed by your organization" message somewhere in settings meaning your browser is controlled by the unwanted app. Browser hijackers may also have access to reading personal data and stealing sensitive data like passwords or geolocations for revenue goals. ConnectionOptimizer is definitely worth being removed unless you want to face serious threats. Do not worry that much, we will help you do this fast and completely in the instructions below.
How to run 32-bit apps on macOS

How to remove Shlayer Trojan (Mac)
Shlayer is a trojan-based infection designed to cause a chain of multiple malware infiltrations on your device. The number of malware may vary from typical adware or fake search engine tools to more dreadful types like Ransomware that inevitably encrypts users' data.
