Discovered by MalwareHunterTeam, AnarchyGrabber is a type of virus designed for Discord users. It is meant to alter the index.js file inside of the Discord directory (%AppData%\Discord\[version]\modules\discord_desktop_core\) and hijack your data. By changing the inner code of the original file, it allows cybercriminals to upload malicious JavaScript files. This file should contain just one line: module.exports = require('./core.asar');. Everything else is from a trojan. To get rid of the malware, uninstall Discord, then check for the %AppData%\Roaming\discord directory (if it exists, delete it), and then reinstall the client. If this does not help, read the full guide below. Thus, when users log in to their Discord account, extortionists receive access to your contacts, account, servers, messages, and other discord-based content. Oftentimes, it is hard to detect AnarchyGrabber since it hides its activity behind Discord files which get ignored by anti-malware software. If you are unable to remove it manually, we will aid you in doing so below.

Decaf is categorized as a ransomware program designed to blackmail victims into paying money for the recovery of blocked data. Its first attacks were registered at the beginning of November 2021 and continue taking place across multiple users. The virus employs its own extension called .decaf which is assigned during encryption. An example of how encrypted files would like after encryption is this "1.pdf.decaf". It is impossible to blink the infection because all files lose their accessibility and icons as well. Upon successful installation of cryptographic ciphers, Decaf creates a text note named README.txt that contains info on how to recover your data. Cybercriminals say all server and PC data has been encrypted with strong algorithms preventing any third-party decryption. The only possible way to restore access to the entire data is to use a special "universal" decryptor stored by the extortionists. To learn further instructions regarding decryption, victims should write to the attached e-mail address (22eb687475f2c5ca30b@protonmail.com). From there, will be likely informed about the price of decryption software and ways to obtain it. As a rule, cybercrooks request their victims to send varying amounts of money in some cryptocurrency to their wallets. The range can fluctuate from hundreds to thousands of dollars for the restoration of data.

Polaris is a ransomware program that uses a combination of AES and RSA algorithms to encrypt users' data. Unlike other infections of this type, Polaris does not add any extension to the encrypted files. The only thing that changes is accessibility to files - victims are no longer eligible to open the stored data. In order to solve this, Polaris developers encourage their victims to read recovery instructions in a file called WARNING.txt. The text note creates at the end of encryption and says you should contact extortionists using e-mail communication (pol.aris@opentrash.com or pol.aris@tutanota.com). There is also an option to add cybercriminals on Discord instead. Whilst writing a message, victims should state the name of the company that got under attack. This is a clue that Polaris targets business networks so they could afford to pay the required ransom. The most common advice you may see on the web regarding ransom payments is to avoid them as much. This is true because many cybercriminals tend to fool their victims and not send any decryption tools eventually.

Also known as Geodo, Emotet is labeled as a banking trojan that was detected to infiltrate Windows systems. It was first researched by cyber experts in 2014 as a virus designed to steal sensitive information from users. The time development went on, Emotet experienced a couple of feature changes. For instance, apart from running surveillance over the data, it acquired the feature of injecting additional malware and other banking trojans to infected machines. Emotet forces its victims to undergo massive privacy issues and deterioration in system performance. Because such malware has to run a lot of non-native processes and send collected data to external servers, it is forced to eat a lot of system resources as well. This is why your PC performance can be affected so much leading to freezes, lags, and various other problems making normal usage simply impossible. Emotet has done a lot of attacks which made Department of Homeland Security write it on the list of the most damaging and costly malware for governments, organizations, and individuals ever existed.

Y2mate.com is media download and converting service for YouTube, which promotes their Y2mate Muvi Downloader app for Android. Like many other websites of similar nature, Y2mate.com provides the functionality of downloading video and audio from YouTube, in exchange for ads display. However, owners went on and try to force users to subscribe to the website's notifications and offer doubtful Google Chrome extension, called MeddleMonkey. This extension supposedly adds the "Download" button under YouTube player, but along with that, it gains access to personal data and browsers settings, which allows it to generate ads and redirects during browsing activity of the users. You should remember, that there are many much safer alternatives to Y2mate.com, and downloading videos is, actually, the violation of YouTube guidelines.

If you walk in the Activity Monitor, which is the equivalent to the Windows Task Manager, you will see a number of processes and resource consumption of it. If some of the tasks are highlighted red exceeding the amount of CPU usage, Mac becomes sluggish, overheating boosts fan speed producing a lot of sounds, and other disturbing effects that prevent you from normal usage. Kernel_task is simply the name of different processes reflecting additional information upon them. There are multiple reasons that can destroy Mac performance such as malware, bugged updates, wrong software configuration, and hardware problems. Unless taken seriously, this can reduce the lifespan of your processor, graphic card, or other components. We have gathered several methods that have been successful at dealing with kernel_task issues.
