I got the Ads by Lyrics virus message and I downloaded that app they link me to and created an account because I was scared. What do I do about the app they link me to that I will have to pay after the 7 day trial period? I’m guessing it has since I clicked the link and downloaded their app and made an account on it, but I have not seen anything strange happening yet. Is this virus dangerous for my data? How to remove it?

Description of Ads by Lyrics Virus

It is a home page browser hijacker that should get people’s attention and it is able to infected many popular browsers like Edge, Chrome and Internet Explorer on every computer.

Another category of intrusive objects propped by this infection encompasses interstitial advertisements, some of which are full-page windows opening up in the background once a victim clicks anywhere on an arbitrary website. Furthermore, the Lyrics adware also generates a slew of in-text ads, which trigger small splash screens every time the mouse cursor hovers over them.

As we know, a lot of contents on the website are restricted by geographic position, for example, some Youtubes are restricted to viewers in the US, some TV providers e.g. Netflix have different content depending in what country you are at and so on. So what is the best VPN service? Overcoming these geoblocks is one of the major uses of VPNs service, and the following article article will tell you in detail.

The Function of the Best VPN

VPN （Virtual Private Network） has become more and more popular as more and more workers work from home or travel on business. The best VPN service allows people connect their devices to their office network even if they are far away from their offices. If the workers who are on a business trip want to get company resources over the Internet, connecting to a VPN will really help. And you don’t need to worry about the security of your company resources because the resources don’t have to be uncovered directly on the Internet. In addition, when you connect to a VPN, browsing activity will be hided from your local network and ISP (Internet Service Provider). Consumers use a private VPN service, also known as a VPN tunnel, to protect their online activity and identity. By using an anonymous VPN service, a user’s Internet traffic and data remain encrypted, which prevents eavesdroppers from sniffing Internet activity. A VPN service is especially useful when accessing public Wi-Fi hotspots because the public wireless services might not be secure. In addition to public Wi-Fi security, a private VPN service also provides consumers with uncensored Internet access and can help prevent data theft and unblock websites. Read the rest of this post »

I’ve been using a VPN service for a long period to watch movie, shows, and videos on Netflix and Youtube, but I always encounter a popup prompting “Unable to establish connection” from time to time to stop me visiting the websites I want when I am watching the video. And the speed seems a little slow, sometimes, the video is suspended for a long time. So what’s the Best VPN for Streaming Video? Do you have any recommendation?

Why We Should Choose the Best VPN for Streaming Video?

For most internet users, we all know that many websites especially streaming service websites like Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, BBC iPlayer are not allowed to access in some countries and regions due to geo-restrictions regulated by its national internet censorship. For example, in China, streaming services located in oversea like Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, BBC iPlayer, Amazon video or ABC are blocked by China’s Great Firewall. Hulu can only be subscribed by people based in US. On the other hand, Netflix blocks VPN services therefore very few VPN services works. Geo-restrictions to streaming video service can be bypassed by a VPN. So many online people choose to contract with a VPN service in order to bypass internet censorship to unblock streaming video like Netflix, Hulu, Youtube or BBC iPlayer. However, if you don’t know how to select the best and most suitable VPN, you will not able to access the stream video successfully. Even though you’re using a VPN client, you still can’t experience a smooth feeling on watching the video, movie and TV shows smoothly, and you may be suspended from time to time. So what’s the best VPN for streaming video? One reason for the best VPN for streaming video should be random IP change. This function can alter your IP address after a set interval of time. The function is sort of a Dynamic IP that assigns you different IP addresses up on reconnect. That is why some VPNs fail in China while other performs better.

Is there any news on decrypting the Hades Locker? My laptop is infected with this virus. Pictures, pdf, xls, doc everything is encrypted. The warning pop up on my screen and ask me pay a fine to get my files back, do you know how to remove it? And I’m not planning on paying 590 euro’s.

What is Hades Locker Virus? How does it work?

Hades Locker Virus comes from a family of file-encrypting ransomware. It offers to make a payment in Bit coins to get a key to decrypt files. Important to know, currently not possible to decrypt the .HL files encrypted by the ransomware without the private key and decrypt program. Hades Locker Virus places everything you keep on your PC under lock down. You cannot open it or access it in any way. Not unless you apply the right decryption key to free it. But that key costs you. This is where the ‘ransom’ part of the ransomware kicks in. After it encrypts your data, it demands you pay up for its release. Don’t pay the ransom! Don’t follow the requests of cyber extortionists! If you do, you only bury yourself in deeper troubles. Cut your losses. Say goodbye to your files to protect yourself from an even bigger mess. It may seem like an impossible choice to make but it truly is the best course of action to take. Discard your data. It’s the lesser evil. Read the rest of this post »

Hi, I need to use a VPN and I’ve been looking into different providers, but there’s one thing I’m worried about. Can’t a VPN provider just look at my traffic all they want and see what I’m doing? Don’t I just have to trust them not to spy on me? If that’s true, how do I pick one I can trust, when they can all see what I’m doing?

The discussion about the security of VPN

What VPN can be trust? If security is all you’re concerned with, and you have a VPN provided to you by your school or company, you’re already set. In fact, almost any VPN will cover you from the security angle, because you’re only really concerned about protecting your activity from prying eyes, presumably on the same network that you’re on—like a hotel, coffee shop, or airport’s free Wi-Fi. Of course, you still need to make sure that your VPN provider isn’t just sniffing your traffic themselves and making themselves the security issue, but we’ll get to that in a moment.

VPN mainly adopts 4 technologies to ensure the safety of the data communication: Tunneling, Encryption & Decryption, Key Management and Authentication. About the Authentication technology, VPN is the use of the PPP method for user authentication. These validation methods include: PAP, CHAP, SPAP, MS-CHAP and EAP. About the Encryption & Decryption and Key Management technology, VPN is use the MPPE and IPSec methods to encrypt data; and adopt the method of public and private key for Key Management. MPPE can make terminal for secure communication from anywhere around the world, and MPPE Encryption also can ensure the security of data transmission. The above technologies are enforced to remote VPN server. VPN connection can realize double data encryption, and make the network data transmission more secure. You can also use the VPN connect to the server to physical separation of highly sensitive data server physically separated. Only appropriate permissions users can access protected resources through the remote network by VPN server. Read the rest of this post »
