Petya Virus description

Petya virus ransomware is not a traditional ransomware virus; it is a new encryption virus. Petya virus prevents users from booting their operating systems. The ransomware replaces the master boot record with a malicious loader, and then automatically restarts the computer. Once the computer rebooted, the new malicious loader will execute and begin encrypting files. During this process, a fake check disk screen is shown. Since 2010, the most popular way used by ransomware to extort money has been to remain hidden on the victim’s computer for an amount of time long enough to encrypt all of their files. Very high-grade encryption algorithms are usually employed. User’s options to recover their files without paying the ransom boiled down to basically having a back up copy or using a program that restores deleted files.

Hello, I need some help to remove this ProductManualsFinder toolbar by MyWay from my Google Chrome. Several days ago, I accidentally install this tool bar into Chrome when I visit a website. Since then I’ve tried many times to uninstall this toolbar from my Chrome, but nothing worked. I even run my security tool to make a full scanning, but nothing malicious is found. But I always see some strange pop-ups, fake security message or flash pictures coming from the webpage I visited even though the website is legitimate. Before I got this toolbar, I didn’t see any pop-ups when browsing webpages. So I believe all these pop-ups should result from this nasty toolbar. Please help me!

And if you visit webpage as usual, you will find some strange pop-ups keep displaying to interrupt you a lot. Specific product deals, discount, coupon or fitness ads will show up as some kind of cookie is installed into your web browser to track and spy on what you usually will browse online.
