Hey, I mistakenly download a browser hijacker Searchenger2016.com into my Asus laptop. Now this domain takes over my IE browser. I tried everything to get rid of this page, but it comes back again and again, and every time when I surf on IE, I always get interrupted by lots of different pop ups, obstructions and interruptions. I click on ‘X’ then another new one comes out soon. Google Toolbar on my IE seems to be disabled and isn’t working any more. Do you have any good ideas on cleaning out this browser hijacker?

Searchenger2016.com Hijacker Attacks Your Browser and can’t be removed completely?

Browser hijacker like Searchenger2016.com would usually sneak into a targeted computer without any permission from computer users. And it is hard to be detected by any antivirus program as browser hijacker is actually a kind of malicious extension or potential unwanted program. To illustrate in detail, browser hijacker is triggered by malicious extension, plugin, add-on attached into your web browser or some potentially unwanted program installed into system accidentally. Searchenger2016.com browser hijacker will change your start page and default search engine of the attacked web browser like Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. Once it changes default homepage of browser, you have no way to change back the default settings of web browser in a regular way. So you have to live with this domain and use it to look up something via the search bar offered by this browser hijacker. However, what will drive you to be crazy is that you will be interrupted by endless pop-ups while browsing webpages. Some websites that you previously visited now can’t be accessed! You will just get such error message saying ‘This website is not available now’ or ‘This page can’t be dispalyed’. Of course, Searchenger2016.com hijacker will do some bad effect to internet speed, so it takes a long time to open a webpage, and browser often gets frozen, hang or unresponsive.

“Hey guy, my pc infected by Zepto virus and I have coped my data and formatted it put back it is same. How to get rid of the virus and restore my data? I can’t fix this problem even if I tried a lot of kinds of methods, I don’t want to face it anymore, and I hope someone finds a fix soon. Please help!”

What is Zepto virus? How does it work?

Zepto virus is a new version ransomware. It is good at to seizing the files on a victim’s PC and encrypting them. When Zepto virus infects your computer it will scan all the drive letters for targeted file types, encrypt them, and then append the Zepto virus extension to them. Once these files are encrypted, they will no longer able to be opened by your normal programs. When it has finished encrypting the victim’s files, it will change the desktop wallpaper to an image that acts like a ransom note. It also creates files with the same information in each of the encrypted folders titled “_HELP_instructions.html”. These ransom notes include instructions on how to connect to the Locky Decrypt Service where you can learn more about what happened to your files and how you can make a Zepto ransom payment. This new ransomware uses the strong RSA-2048 and AES-128 ciphers method in order to ensure that the affected user has no choice but to purchase the private key. But will you get your files back and safe your PC when you pay? Don’t be fooled! You may simply wasting your money, please note that hackers will make you pay a certain amount of money in the form of bitcoins, for example, in exchange for the code for the encryption. Bitcoins are a cyber-currency that are very difficult to be traced to the receiver. This leaves the hacker in full anonymity, meaning that there’s almost no chance for them to be brought to justice or for you to ever get your money back.

I’ve a problem I’ve never come across before and its how to copy files to External Hard Drive? I’ve just migrated from using Windows for 15 years onto Apple iMac and had been copy files easily on Windows without any hassle and thought I’d done the same on my iMac but seemingly they’re hard to copy the files or folders to any other External Hard Drive, I have tried to format it to FAT32 but it’s still the same. Do you have any ideas as to why this happens and how to solve this please?

Why Mac Files Won’t Copy To External Hard Drive?

The problem is that your drive is Windows NTFS formatted by default. Mac system is not support this format, OS X can’t write NTFS out of the box (at least not without some tweaks). Here are some ways to do this. So why Mac files won’t copy to external hard drive? There are several reasons:

1. External Hard Drive has been locked. You will get a notice said the item “folder name” could not be moved because “USB-HDD” cannot be modified. In fact, the external USB drive is not formatted for use with your Mac. the drive is formatted as NTFS which is normal in a Windows environment. While OS X is able to read from a drive that is formatted at NTFS, it cannot write to one. You will get a warning saying that the drive cannot be modified.

2. External Hard Drive in a read-only state. It is in a read-only state, you will not be able to copy and modify the file. So you need to check if the External Hard Drive in a read-only state or not.

3. Connection or damage issue about External Hard Drive. A misaligned or malfunctioning cable may be the cause of the problem， especially if you also have errors when trying to read from the external disk.

I have a laptop with Windows XP operating system. These days, I keep getting strange pop-ups when I go online, and I have noticed that my homepage in Firefox browser has been changed to be a page named Discoveranswer.com. I didn’t set it by my own. I tried to change it from the browser settings but failed. I don’t know what to do now as I don’t have too much computer knowledge. Any suggestion?
