Ragnarok is a ransomware infection discovered by Karsten Hahn. The consequences of this attack are similar to other threats of such type - encryption of stored data by adding a new extension. Developers of Ragnarok Ransomware may have other versions of the virus, however, this case involves the assignment of .thor or .ragnarok_cry extensions. No additional symbols are included, you will see a file with the malicious extension at the end (1.mp4.ragnarok_cry). Once the encryption process is complete, users receive a note with decryption steps called How_To_Decrypt_My_Files.txt (alternatively, !!Read_me_How_To_Recover_My_Files.html). The text note states that encrypted files can be unlocked only with a special tool, which is held by cybercriminals. In order to get it, people have to contact swindlers and send the required fee of BTC to their address. You can also provide a file (less than 3Mb) for free decryption. This way, extortionists are allegedly proving that they can be trusted. In reality, they can dump you and ignore the fact that you have paid for the recovery. The deletion of Ragnarok Ransomware will not decipher your files, however, this is important to do to prevent further encryption of data.

Link Default Search is an unwanted application that aggressively hijacks your browser by adding a new search engine (find.linkdefault.com). These changes are extremely popular around such infections, you can also see the interface change and a couple of details to highlight the hijacker. Originally, browser hijackers are ostensibly created to improve the browsing experience by adding new features. Unfortunately, this contradicts reality as Link Default Search simply redirects users to Google and shows results from it. This practice is made to generate fake traffic to monetize advertised banners and other content. Oftentimes, attacked users struggle to deal with Potentially Unwanted Programs because they can alter system registries, which prevents people from manual removal.

Solve Ransomware is a malicious piece that specifies in encrypting network storage. Victims who had their NAS storage infected, experienced files change with the new .encrypted extension, so one of them would appear like this 1.mp4.encrypted. This extension is more generic and has been used by many ransomware developers. Solve Ransomware has not had enough examination to provide tools for unlocking the assigned cipher. This is why the extortionists offer to contact them and pay the ransom in BTC via instructions presented in a text note (SOLVE ENCRYPTED FILES.txt) that is created after the encryption process gets done. Unfortunately, this option does not guarantee transparency and honesty of swindlers. You can be fooled and not given any decryption tools even after making payment. This is why we recommend you delete Solve Ransomware and try to decrypt data via some basic instruments provided below.

PC Gold Optimizer (and System Repair) is a delusive program meant to solve performance issues. Unfortunately, the declared efficiency claimed by developers does not match reality. It has been determined that generated problems regarding registry and other segments appear to be fake. Whenever you run a scan, the program will find multiple problems that have to be solved. In fact, this could be a visual trick by generating false positives to attract people into purchasing the full version, which is required to implement the full removal of errors. Not only PC Gold Optimizer does not bring any benefit, but it also can damage your PC by changing registry keys incorrectly. This is why we recommend you release your computer from another Potentially Unwanted Program like PC Gold Optimizer. Even trusted antimalware vendors gave negative ratings and advised removing it from your system. You will find step-by-step instructions to do this down below.

Advanced Mac Tuneup is an unwanted optimization tool that tries to look legitimate. On the surface, it is nothing, but a fraudulent trick meant to suck money out of gullible users. The app provides scans upon different threats and junk that may disrupt your PC performance. It might claim that they are strongly advised to remove, otherwise, your PC will suffocate due to multiple issues. This is why you are subsequently asked to register and purchase the full version to clear the found problems. Unfortunately, cyber experts suspected Advanced Mac Tuneup in generating fake lists of errors, thus, addressed it to being a Potentially Unwanted Program. Plus, such applications can be very annoying as they impose their offers against one's will. We recommend you delete Advanced Mac Tuneup from your computer using the step-by-step instructions provided in the article below.

Some users complained that Google Chrome started redirecting queries through Search.grilime.com to Bing.com, Yahoo.com or third-party find.gotrovi.com. This is related to the fact that they have been infected by a stubborn app - a browser hijacker that changes search algorithms redirecting through unwanted engine. In some cases, these infections force users to relent and delete either of browsers to stop seeing the redirects. In fact, there is a way to overcome the annoying activity of Search.grilime.com and delete it from your computer. Our guide below will help you in doing so. Just follow the step-by-step instructions presented by our crew.

PDFSearchz is another rogue search engine that should be avoided by users. The installation algorithm is similar to its clones - adding a browser-based extension to change search settings. PDFSearchz can be extremely annoying by many means - redirecting to unwanted pages, showing ambiguous ads, and other intrusive actions that may disrupt your experience. These programs are known as browser hijackers and can drop the performance of your PC significantly. This is because they are poorly-optimized and require a lot of resources to run in the background. The rogue search engine (pdf-searchz.com) is not capable of generating unique results on its own, therefore, it mimics legitimate engines (Yahoo, Google, Bing) to show queries from them. We do not see any value in PDFSearchz and advise you to delete it from your computer as soon as possible. Browser hijackers are especially sticky not allowing users to disable or remove them completely.
