My laptop has been working well but since yesterday something strange happened. Every time I was online, I started being redirected to various pages that gave me crazy pop-up ads that asked me to sign up for a membership or sold me some suspicious looking applications. And I also noticed my default homepage was suddenly changed to All-search-engines.com. The problem was on Firefox and IE was working fine. I tried to reset Firefox and it didn’t help. I used AVG and it didn’t detect anything suspicious. What should I do?
All-search-engines.com is an insecure web search-providing website that associated with adware, browser hijacker and potentially unwanted programs. At first glance, this customized search may appear like Google, Bing, or Yahoo, but in fact it cannot really provide users reliable search results. Instead, it only shows results that contain full of ads and sponsored ads which can mislead user to visit advertiser’s web site. A browser hijacker can be added on a computer after the user downloaded freeware from various servers. Most of the time, users are not aware that they are loading this dubious search engine while installing freeware or shareware until they find some changes on the web browser. This application aims to affect browser applications including Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Opera, Safari and other Internet browsers. In order to create artificial traffic and boost affiliate payments, infected users will be forced to visit All-search-engines.com again and again and get fraudulent search results against their wills. Meanwhile, other unwanted activities can be initiated immediately after the browser is hijacked:

My homepage has been suddenly changed to Search.yourmovietimenow.com and it gave me many annoying pop-up ads which I couldn’t find a way to stop. My PC was super slow now and I thought I had some malware on my PC that hijacked my web browser. Even if i closed Firefox and reopen, the page will come back, same if i restarted my laptop. I ran Norton and it says my computer is clean. I don’t know what to do now and I do not want to rebuilt my system. Please help!!!
Search.yourmovietimenow.com, as known as Your Movie Now Search, is an unwanted search engine protected by Safer Browser and made to generate revenue for its authors. The page is linked to potentially unwanted program or browser hijacker that mainly attacks browser application such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. It can force the affected web browser to visit specific pages and change the homepage, as well as default search engine without user’s permission. The application alters browser settings so it can display annoying pop-up windows containing advertisements or websites with unsafe content all the time. It interrupts user’s online activities and stops users from browsing the web properly. Unlike other computer viruses, browser hijacker doesn’t have the ability to encrypt your files or destroy your computer system, so your antivirus program cannot detect it at all, not to mention removing the virus from the system. The program only causes many inconveniences for its users. Although this hijacker thing looks similarly to those reputable search engines like Bing or Google, it won’t really provide users reliable search results. Instead, the results Search.yourmovietimenow.com provides are mostly irrelevant to your search query. No one likes pop-up notices and advertisements, therefore it is suggested that users should remove the virus manually as quickly as possible.

Earlier today an XXX. Extension pop up came up on my Samsung tablet and accused me of watching bad porn and was going be fined 200,000 if I didn’t pay $100 iTunes card. Was it real or just some kind of virus? It frozen my Internet browser so I can’t go online anyway. It said the money should be paid in 48 hours or else I will go prison and my photos, musics etc will be erased. I didn’t do anything wrong. I was freaking out. What should I do to get rid of the warning?
XXX. Extension Pop Up is a form of malware, as known as Ransomware that can freeze user’s Internet browser and even seize control of the infected device to stop users from doing anything on it. This virus doesn’t encrypt user’s files, but, instead of that, it holds the phone/tablet’s hostage and then starts showing a fake warning message to trick users into paying $100 through iTunes card. On the XXX. Extension pop-up, it usually displays a message which is supposedly from a law enforcement agency (FBI, CSIS, Australian Federal Police, Metropolitan Police, Cyber Police, International Criminal Police Organization) and states your device has been used to visit websites containing pornography, child pornography, zoophilia and child abuse. Your illegal activity on the Internet has been recorded so that a fine of $100 through iTunes card is needed to avoid getting into jail. This virus usually masquerades itself as a pure text or pdf file, and naive mobile users might get tricked to download and open it. Until then, the browser on the phone or tablet will get blocked because this warning always shows up while browsing the Internet. The virus relies on JavaScript that blocks the browser and causes a huge warning message to demand money so it should be deleted as quickly as possible.

I was on the internet on my 2 year old samsung tablet and received a fake police mobile lock warning that states I violated Federal Law (I did not) and demands $500 in Paypal prepaid card as a “fine” for breaking the law. It states i have 24 hours to pay the fine, or else all my information, photos, movies, games and documents will be deleted and I will be prosecuted. I am really scared and I have never done anything illegal before. I searched online and then I know this is fraud, but the warning will not go away and will not allow me to reboot my tablet. My screen is locked up with this notice I cannot do anything on it. What should I do? Does anyone know how to make this go away? I really need my tablet for working, please help me unlock it as soon as possible. Thanks.
If you ever get a fake police mobile lock warning on your android phone tablet, don’t panic. It’s a scam – you’ve done nothing wrong, and what the violation claims most likely have nothing to do with you because it’s not a warning from the real police. Such pop-up window is just a fake warning designed by cyber criminals to extort money from innocent users. The fake warning usually pretends to be from a law enforcement agency (FBI, Australian Federal Police, Metropolitan Police, U.S. Department of Justice), scaring people and blocking them from using the device. When the device is infected, a fake alert titled with “ATTENTION! Your phone has been blocked up for safety reason” will pop up as soon as the phone is on. It takes control of the phone screen and will not allow users to close the warning or even power off their device. By locking up your phone screen, the fake police mobile lock warning falsely accuses that you have violated Copyright laws, and your device has been used for visiting websites containing pornography, child pornography, and child abuse, therefore victims are threatened to pay a fine of $100-$500 within the limited period of time in order to get the device unlocked. Otherwise, criminal cases will be automatically started against infected users and they could face the chances to be caught to jails. Everything seems real and scary. No one wants to be trapped by illegal issues so some people are willing to pay the fine to avoid further problems, however it only gets things worse. They lost their money after the fine has been sent from a prepaid card and they got no idea how to get a refund when they realized it is a scam. The fake police mobile lock warning is merely a scam. It is known as the “Police virus” which is often distributed through malicious website and spam emails. Once found, an immediate removal is needed.

I think my computer has been infected by some malware because 10 minutes ago a screen popped up suddenly that states:”Your Computer has been blocked error #268D3….call us immediately at 855-900-9120….please do not ignore this critical alert. If you close this page, your computer access will be disabled to prevent further damage to our network. Your computer has alerted us that it has been infected with a virus and spyware. The following information has been stolen….Facebook login (I’m not registered with Facebook, credit card details (I do pay on-line, I do not store details), e-mail account login, photos stored on this computer. You must call us immediately so that our engineers can walk you through the removal process over the phone. Please call us in the next 5 minutes to prevent your computer from being disabled”. I clicked on a link that has infected my computer with the warning and the child pornography scam saying i need to pay $500 or give my apple id. I can’t remove this off my mac computer. How do i do it? What does this pop up mean? Is my computer really infected? Do I really need to call this number to clean up my computer? Many users got this alert when they were surfing online and this made them scare as there are many important information and data on the system. Nobody wants the things lose. The question is what is the best way to deal with this big problem?
“Your Computer has been blocked Error # 268D3” pop up is a misleading alert generated by adware or browser hijacker that usually states victim’s computer has been infected with various viruses/malware and encourages users to contact technical support via provided phone number. Computer illiterate often get tricked into thinking that this message is genuine, yet it is actually a complete scam. The message belongs to a tech support scam and every single day innocent people are tricked into spending hundreds of dollars on this hoax. If the scam alert suddenly pops up on your web browser, no matter it’s on Google Chrome, Internet Explorer or Firefox, you are advised to ignore it immediately and do not call the phone number in any cases. The number is not free, and even the shortest call may cost you lots of money. This alert which aims to mimic genuine warnings from Microsoft or your security software may usually appear after you open an email attachment, download files, visit websites hosting malicious software or click on a pop-up advertisement. Its goal is to deceive the user into calling the support number listed on the webpage, where the user will be sold various PC protection products at a high subscription rate.
