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.

Error 10 is quite a popular issue encountered by many iPhone users. It appears when trying to restore or update a device through Mac or Itunes on Windows. The error force-stops the process saying "The iPhone 'Device Name' could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (10).". Usually, the most common reasons for errors with resetting/updating an iPhone are software-related. This means users can solve it by updating some outdated software (often macOS or iTunes) that prevents initiating the process. In other cases, the issue may cover connection or even problems with hardware. Below, we will discuss everything you need to get rid of the error and have your iPhone restored or updated eventually.

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.).

With the most recent macOS Catalina released by Apple, developers have crossed out the combination of both 32 and 64-bit working together. Whilst such changes have made a good boost to system performance, most users remain unsettled as they are unable to run favorite 32-bit apps since the new version came out. If you attempt to open a 32-bit application on Catalina, you will face a message saying "The developer of this apps needs to update it to work with this version of macOS. Contact the developers for more information". Apple has already mentioned that change was planned out a long time ago, but some users were not ready for such a migration. Despite this, there is a lot of room for solutions to workaround this hiccup and go beyond initial capabilities. All of them will be put up for discussion down below.

Windows 11 is a new system, but already facing some errors while using and opening apps. Users reported having problems with initiating applications installed on Windows 11. The error is usually followed by a message box saying The program can't start because MSVCR110.dll is missing from your computer. Such a message prevents people from opening and therefore using a number of different apps. DLLs are often components of Microsoft Visual C++ packages. In fact, a similar situation may happen on all Windows versions even with other DLL names. Many applications need Visual C++ Redistributable to operate properly. In the majority of cases, it is enough to install these components from scratch and have the corresponding issue resolved, however, there are some other solutions that might work out as well. Make sure you follow all of them in the tutorial below until the right one is found.

Youneedtopay is a type of virus categorized as ransomware. It functions by encrypting personal files and demanding money for their return. During this process, ransomware assigns the .youneedtopay extension to all blocked data. For instance, a file like 1.pdf will be changed to 1.pdf.youneedtopay and reset its original icon. After appending these changes, the virus creates a text note called READ_THIS.txt which is meant to explain decryption instructions. Desktop wallpapers get altered as well. Take a closer look at what is the content there.

It was a long time ago when Android users came down to witness their smartphone die and remain stuck refusing to boot. The screen showed a dead Android with a red exclamation triangle popping out of its chest. Unfortunately, this error touched and continues to do so with owners of older smartphone models manufactured by all popular vendors (Samsung, Huawei, HTC, Motorola, Asus, Lenovo, etc.). Users have been reporting this issue appears when trying to boot up a smartphone or enter Recovery mode. Although it is less likely to show its presence on new generations of smartphones, the solutions listed in our guide will be useful for them as well in case such an error appears. Make sure you try each solution until the right one is found and finally deals with the issue.

Admin Locker is the name of a ransomware virus that started its spread in December 2021. It uses a combination of AES+RSA algorithms to write secure cryptographic ciphers over the stored data. This affects files' access and their visual appearance. Admin Locker appends one of the following extensions to all blocked data - .admin1, .admin2, .admin3, .1admin, .2admin, or .3admin. It does not matter which one of them was applied to you. Their only function is to show files have been encrypted and make victims see it. For instance, a file like 1.pdf will change to 1.pdf.1admin (or other extension) and become no longer accessible. After encryption is done, Admin Locker explains how to recover the data in its text note (!!!Recovery File.txt) and on its web page that can be accessed via the TOR link.
