Hi there. I haven’t used my laptop for some weeks and today when I turned it on and tried to browse the web, I found my default homepage was changed to a strange website and the URL was Bazzsearch.com. What was it? The homepage was Google before but and when I went to internet options from IE I can see the homepage got changed. It won’t let me reset the homepage anyway. My computer was messed up. What should I do? How do I fix the issue?
Bazzsearch.com is a fake search site that sponsored by third-parties and it is closely associated with browser hijacker, adware and potentially unwanted program. The website claims to provide web users with useful service and offers functions which should help the users increase the web browsing quality, but what it really does on a PC is to display fake search results, sponsored links and various ads about deals, coupons and commercial offers to promote unwanted applications and deliver ads. The hijacker uses illegal way to sneak into target computer and it can automatically load each time you open your web browser. Users who use Firefox, IE and Chrome browser will become the main target of the hijacker and they will be redirected to Bazzsearch.com constantly as long as they open the affected web browser.

I was browsing my FaceBook last night. I clicked on a link sent by my friend saying something funny. Without thinking twice, I did that. As soon as I clicked on that link, I was redirected to a strange webpage: Search.moccini.com. It seemed that there was nothing bad on that website. I ignored it at the time I was browsing happily. However, my computer worked so weirdly after that. It is said that the webpage is a fake search engine. It is a malicious browser hijacker virus. This virus seems sticking into my computer. I can’t use any antivirus tool to remove it. I don’t know what I should do now. Please help me remove this virus from my computer as soon as possible.

Earlier today I was surfing the web on my iPhone and it suddenly led me to a college porn video. After that I got the U.S. Marshals warning saying that I was accused of watching child pornography and it said it could lead to 5-8 years and also a 500$ fine. It crashed my safari app. On the pop up message, it had my ip address, location, and everything. It said it would lock up my phone if the fine is not paid within 48 hours. It scared the heck out of me and now i don t know if i’m actually being charged or it is a scam. Is this pop up real? How do I unlock it?
Today more and more Apple users are scammed with a fake U.S. Marshals warning and asked to pay ‘fines’ for viewing porn. If you got a pop-up message supposedly from U.S. Marshals saying that “You are accused of viewing/storage and/or dissemination of banned pornography (child pornography/zoophilia/rape etc.)” and you are asked to pay $500 fine within 24/48/72 hours to unlock the device, please ignore the message immediately and do not fall into this scam. The convincing message is actually designed by cyber criminals in order to scare inexperienced users into thinking they had done something wrong, and then extort their money. This fake notification is nothing more than a malicious javascript page, and it can be shown up on iPhone or iPad without any permission. As long as the warning is showing up, users can not use Safari and browse the web. It also has the ability to crash Chrome browser. A lot of people get freaked out that this fake warning message might actually be real since they can not seem to get rid of them. Or they believe that their iPhone or iPad is infected with some sort of virus or malware that can access to their private photos and videos etc so they start to panic. Restarting the device is not helpful at all to get out of this virus warning as it pops up right away as soon as the device starts up. So the only way to gain Internet access back and stay away from this hoax is to remove U.S. Marshals warning manually.

Hey, there. This morning, as soon as I booted my new laptop, I got stuck at my desktop and then got a report from Norton telling me about a malicious virus: Trojan.Herherminth.

My Norton reported that I had Trojan: JS/PlayerPage.A and a list of malicious files. I used Norton to remove them. However, I found that my computer runs slower and slower lately. It turns out that the Trojan is still on my computer. When I had my computer scanned this afternoon, it said it failed to remove the Trojan virus. Now, many programs do not work properly and error messages pop up frequently. So, is it impossible to remove this virus completely as even Norton can’t remove it? Is there any way that I can remove it manually? If there is, how can I do it in a safe way? Can you help me remove it?
Trojan: JS/PlayerPage.A is a baleful threat which belongs to the highly vicious Trojan virus. It attacks and sneaks into your system by taking advantage of various deceptive techniques. Many computers have been infected with this Trojan virus as their users downloaded corrupted programs accidently. It is created and spread by the criminals for illegal income. After it infiltrates your system, it collects your important information and performs various malicious activities grab your money.

Hi there. I think my browser has been messed up by myself after I downloaded a video player yesterday. For some reasons, when I open Firefox, the start page was no longer Google and it changed to Search.bestmediatabsearch.com without my permission. I still can type in the URL on the address bar directly to open Google, but when I did a google search, I got redirected to some ads page. I checked my browser settings, options and they seem to have no problem at all. What should I do? How do I stop the crazy redirection and block the ads permanently?
Search.bestmediatabsearch.com is known as browser hijacker that can take control of all the browsers you installed on the machine, including Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and even Safari without your consent. Although this webpage looks like a reliable search page that users can get better web-surfing experience, in fact it is just another spam search engine that can do nothing but deliver ads and promote potentially unwanted programs. Browser hijacker uses shady schemes for accessing the vulnerable PC and it mostly gets bundled with freeware applications, such as shareware games or various video players. The people responsible for Search.bestmediatabsearch.com redirect are good at using browser hijacker to force computer users to visit third party websites and click sponsored ads repeatedly. Thus, they can use the artificial traffic to boost affiliate payments and promote online content.

Help! Interpol police is coming to arrest me. My computer files have been encrypted. It will not allow me access them until I pay a $100 fine. I am confused. How can the police encrypt my files because of porn? Though it is embarrassing, I have to admit that I did watch porn on my computer. So, it’s illegal to watch porn? Those videos about my children and photos of my parents all are not accessible. It’s too bad that I didn’t backup them to my icloud. Those files are invaluable. I can pay money to get them back. However, I have to figure out whether I am facing the real Interpol police or not. Is the Interpol police thing real? Can I trust it? Please answer me soon. I do need your help. Thank you in advance.
If your computer files are encrypted and you are seeing a “Attention! All important files and information on this computer are encrypted.” notification from the Interpol police, your computer is infected with a scam virus. Interpol police scam virus is categorized as a piece of ransomware which belongs to the Urausy virus family. The cyber criminals create it to swindle unexpected computer users out of money in the name of authority. They take your important files as a hostage demanding for bogus fine. The fake message warning states that suspicious illegal activities have been detected on your computer, such as violating the law by distributing illegal content, offending copyright, etc. In fact, the Interpol police would not encrypt your computer files to collect fines for any law violations. Do not ever trust it and pay the fine to get your files back. There is no guarantee that the criminals will let you have your files back. We strongly suggest you ignore this fake warning and remove the Interpol police scam virus out of your system as early as possible. Read the rest of this post »

Earlier this morning I was watching a video on my Samsung tablet and then a small window with ads came up out of nowhere. I tried to close the ads but then it popped up another message saying how I am being accused of viewing child pornography. It blocked my tablet and said I have 72 hours to pay a $200 fine through Amazon Gift Card fine or otherwise I will be arrested. It showed a big warning “ATTENTION! Your device has been blocked up for safety reasons” on the top and even gave me my location. Is this a scam or is it real? How do I unlock my tablet without paying $200 Amazon Gift Card?
If your phone or tablet has been locked by $200 Amazon Gift Card Virus and you are seeing this “ATTENTION! Your phone has been blocked up for safety reasons” notification from a law enforcement agency (FBI, Australian Federal Police, Metropolitan Police, U.S. Department of Justice), then your Android phone is infected with a piece of malware known as Trojan Koler. This malware is going around on mobile device now; therefore mobile users from different countries can be targeted by this virus. Once the virus is downloaded, users can see a fake screen-locking message displayed in their local language and exploiting names of authorities from their countries. It says the device is blocked as a penalty for online crimes like downloading copyright-protected music, watching porno sites or distributing illegal contents. All the images on the message are high resolution and it even shows the user’s IP address, location and other device information. Infected users are not allowed to minimize or exit the message page until they pay $200 fine through Amazon Gift Card. This scam is similar to the previous Ukash scam, Moneypak scam or Paysafecard scam. It is also designed by the hackers to deceive inexperienced mobile users and lure them into pay a non-existent fine with a prepaid card like Amazon Gift Card rather than a credit card. The amount of the fine is usually $200 (in some cases it can be up to $500) and it even gives a deadline which is usually 24 hours, 48 hours or 72 hours to let the users complete the payment. But paying the fine is always not an option. Once you pay the fine your phone/tablet will be still locked. The hackers behind the scam can take your money immediately and the worse is that the money is untraceable, unlike your personal bank transactions. You will lose your money and still have the phone/tablet blocked.
