Hi, I got a pop up on my computer and told me pay a CIA Election Fee about $50 to verify myself as a human and to help United States of America to get a new president by fair voting. I think it is a virus and I want to get rid of this pop up, but it won’t let me. Can you please tell me how to do? Is this virus dangerous with my data?

CIA Election AntiCheat Control Virus Description

CIA Election AntiCheat Control Virus is a new network ransomware. It says unless you paid $50 in a PaySafeCard to the CIA/FBI (standard operating procedure for large intelligence organizations), and you have to pay within 24 hours or the registred name on your house address election vote will not be valid and will not count as a vote. How a big scam, please note that this pop up is a bogus and is used with the only purpose of making you believe that your computer is at risk and fooling you to purchase CIA Election AntiCheat Control. This would generate income for the creators of this infection. Purchasing CIA Election AntiCheat Control will expose your personal information to third parties and you may also become a victim if a credit card or identity fraud. As we know, the world’s grandparents don’t have the skill to do any of that, and these scams only become popular because they work. Preying on current affairs often works well for scammers, and given what an out of control inferno this election cycle is turning into. $50 may not much money for you, but it is very dangerous to reveal your identity information.

Hello, I get a strange extension or adware called WeatherBlink by MyWay added into my Google Chrome. And there is something strange happening. The homepage and search tool Google is gone but become search.mysearch.com. How could this happen? I guess my son should do something bad on my computer as yesterday he said he wanted to play his game, and I allowed him to download the game software, but I didn’t supervise what he was doing there. Something vicious should be downloaded at that time while my son was downloading his game application. However, this morning I also run a scanning for whole system and uninstall my son’s game, but this page with this WeatherBlink adware is still there. How can I fix it?

Brief Description of WeatherBlink by MyWay

WeatherBlink by MyWay is a dangerous adware, toolbar or add-on suddenly added into web browser like IE, Edge, Chrome or Firefox. Someone think this adware should help to broadcast the weather, so they just leave it alone there on web browser. However, it can’t do anything good to your computer at all. Once WeatherBlink by MyWay gets downloaded into web browser, that browser will be compromised with some kind of browser hijacker or redirect infection, the original start page will be changed, and search provider even can be modified and pop-up ads supported by this WeatherBlink will keep showing on webpage. Some ads labeled by ‘Powered by WeatherBlink’ or ‘Supported by WeatherBlink’ will displayed on website you visit even though the site is legitimate. WeatherBlink by MyWay adware also can insert some cookie or codes to spy on your online activities like sites you often visit or item products you browse frequently.  And then it pops up some specific ads whenever you open websites. This crappy adware takes up too much internet resource and internet speed is affected, so you will find it is slow to open many webpages or some page can’t be displayed at all.

It can block all types of antivirus apps.

How to Prevent Your Devices from warning scam?

Since viruses are quite inevitable, there are some tips you can avoid being fallen into FederalAustraliamail.com Virus Warning Scam in the future:
1. Be careful of downloading applications in the internet because many of them are just cloned applications. Visit legitimate app stores like Apple Store because it filters out the reliable application from what’s not reliable. Most viruses are from gaming and anti-virus applications which are forged. Before downloading an application, try to read some customer reviews so that you will be assured that it is truly a trusted app. Stick with apps from App Store and don’t jailbreak your device and install apps from third-parties.

2. Be cautious at opening attachments thru MMS, SMS messages and e-mails because you might open an unknown attachment from unknown sender. Never open any attachments which are suspicious to you.

3. Don’t open your Bluetooth connection when not in need. It would be easy for the virus to go inside the phone’s application and destroy the phone’s performance.

4. Read the permissions. Every app you install has to declare its permissions, meaning the app lists what it will have access to on your phone. Don’t just click OK without reading what the app will do.

Step 1: Put your Android device into safe mode. Turn off your device, and then turn it on. When you see a logo appear during boot-up, hold down both the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons at the same time. Continue holding the two buttons until the device boots up with a Safe mode indicator at the bottom-left corner of its screen.

It takes over the Firefox totally, changes my favorite start page MSN, and modifies the search engine provider. What drives me to be crazy is that endless random Popups keep showing on webpage I open. It is said that someone can remotely monitor what I do online. is it real? Is it an effective way to completely get rid of it?

Belief Introduce of Wawsearch.com Hijacker

If you see Wawsearch.com on your web browser like IE, IE, Chrome, Edge and Firefox, your browser should be hijacked by this fake search page. It is not a safe page but a kind of browser hijacker. When it comes into targeted computer, it changes your start page to be Wawsearch.com, insert some unwanted extension or add-on into browser settings without your notice. If you check your bookmark or favorite of targeted browser, you will find some unknown website links are added into there. When you’re browsing some website, you will be interrupted by endless ads like coupon, deals, discounts, software updates alert or other fake message saying your computer has virus thing. Even though you are on legitimate site, strange ads still pop up there, but before you get this Wawsearch.com infection, you didn’t see such crap popups.

Adware, potentially unwanted programs or malicious add-ons inserted by this browser hijacker also can result in other harmful activities. Your PC will start to run slowly.

He did not go on anything, but his friend used the phone and came across something by accident. Is this real or just a scam?!! Now the internet safari won’t work. We can’t do anything on Safari now. How do we remove this disgusting webpage and fix Safari? It is an iPhone 6. Please help!!!

Get Locked by “Send email to [email protected]” Virus – What to do?

When your phone or other devices get infected by this virus, you will not be able to use the browser. It could lock you out of the browser and can do nothing. As recent survey, this virus usually infects Apple devices like iPhone or iPad and it generally blocks Safari. It always tells the victims that their devices have been locked for illegal pornography. However, the device actually has got locked by the virus. This virus also tells victims to send email to [email protected] to unlock their devices. Please note that don’t send email to it and you should remove it immediately.

Hi, I am just stuck at this virus called JS:Includer-BOF[Trj] scanned by Avast. Avast has reported this virus many times, but I also have Avast run to scan and remove the virus several times. However, it comes back again and again. This virus also blocks me to visit some specific websites saying “This webpage is not available”, but usually I can log in there. Task bar sometimes keeps frozen and I can’t do or move anything on computer screen. Mouse also has been blocked. I tried to install other antivirus, but it doesn’t help me at all. This virus is very stubborn. How can I eliminate it from my computer system completely? I can’t stand it anymore.

Brief Introduction of JS:Includer-BOF[Trj] Virus

JS:Includer-BOF[Trj] virus gets access to your computer system but can’t be removed completely via any antivirus program. This is because this stubborn Trojan virus keeps reduplicating itself and changing its location and pathway. It has a strong ability to hide itself into system to bypass the detection of any antivirus. This aggressive Trojan horse also implants and roots its executable files into many crucial folders of system files to mess up system settings totally. JS:Includer-BOF[Trj] virus enters start up items, registry, system files or windows task manager to change system settings, replace some system files with other malware files or disable and delete system files, which will surely result in error codes. System error code may show up while you’re starting your computer, and you would be just blocked at the windows starting screen or logo screen. Also some system errors would occur while you’re running some application, opening some documents or visiting websites. Some strange exe files display on desktop of your PC, but they can’t be easily deleted. Or some unknown and malicious files keep generating in every folders.  JS:Includer-BOF[Trj] virus also has the ability to download additional components and extensions to attack web browser in order to block you downloading other security tool into system.
