Remove dfs.pathdone.net pop-up virus (Removal Guide)

dfs.pathdone.net is a browser hijacker but most people would say it's a pop-up virus. Of course, the virus isn't a pop-up, it appears in a new tab, to be specific. Whenever you open a new link from Google, Bing or simply go onto a new webpage, the new tab opens along with another which shows a pop-up advertisement. The ads vary in item, but there's a good chance that you will get a pop-up saying that you need to install Flash player downloader, FLV player or something else which is "recommended". Never install or update Flash from a pop-up on a website because you may end up installing adware and spyware on your computer.

It is pretty easy to tell when you've had your browser hijacked but the worse thing is that this can be a rather persistent infection. Dfs.pathdone.net pop-ups are just after effects. If you want to stop these pop-ups, you will have to identify and remove malware that causes them. As you may already know, all major download websites have their own download managers and before pretty much any download they offer you to install third-party applications, for instance, LyricsSay. I always decline these offers, you should do the same thing as well because even such an innocent application as LyricsSay which automatically displays song lyrics on Youtube can inject ads and display annoying pop-ups. Another source of such malware is free movie streaming websites. I noticed that some live streaming video sites promote these browser hijacker too. They usually display misleading advertisements above the player or on the top of the video. Remember, all you need to watch videos online is a Flash player and you can get it from adobe.com without any bloatware, adware and other potentially unwanted applications.

Furthermore, malware that causes dfs.pathdone.net pop-ups can gather information about your browsing habits, including visited websites, Google search queries and similar stuff. All the information is later used to display more relevant ads and who knows maybe even sold for marketing companies. So, it's not just a pop-up problem, this malware can spy on you. Of course, it can't steal your passwords, etc., but it's still an issue.

The good news is that dfs.pathdone.net is installed on your computer as legitimate programs, it may well appear in the 'Add/Remove programs' list in your control panel. If this is so, you can get rid of it quickly and easily. Needless to say, it won't be listed as pathdone.net but rather as LyricsSay or DownloadTersm. These are just a few examples, scammers are really smart, they create rename their applications very often. One day it can be LyricsSay and another day it will be LyricsContainer or something like that. If you can't find it, then please follow the removal instructions below. There's a good chance that gqs.donedrive.net problem is caused by malicious browser extension installed by a third-party software. You will find all the details below. If you have questions, please leave a comment. Good luck and be safe online!

Remove Win32:Evo-gen [Susp] virus (Removal Guide)

In this article we are going to take a look at Win32:Evo-gen [Susp]: what it is, how it gets on your computer and how to get rid of it. It's a generic detection which means it could be pretty much anything. However, from what I've learned so far most of the time it's either a false positive or a rather sophisticated rootkit infection. Sometimes web shield components can display the same warning, for example that Chrome browser is infected with this virus but actually it's the file that you are trying to download. This virus infects system drivers and dll files, so there's not way you can fix this problem manually. There are a number of different rootkits out there with some of them being more invasive than others. All possess a danger to your computer system though, Win32:Evo-gen [Susp] is not an exception.

So how do you get infected by the Win32:Evo-gen [Susp] virus? Such infections are sneaky and in the vast majority of occasions you will have no knowledge that you have become a victim – until you start experiencing all the nasty side effects. First of all, your anti-virus program will inform you that it had quarantined a potentially dangerous rootkit. However, sometimes antivirus programs fail to remove such sophisticated malware. Thankfully, there are anti-malware programs that can remove the remnants effectively.

Rootkits attack you via a downloaded application or program and if this occurs you should make a note of where you were, what you were doing and what you were downloading and avoid those sites in future. The problem is that these downloads can range from something genuinely useful such as a seemingly reputable software update to things that are perhaps a little more frivolous and unnecessary which can often be chock full of malicious software such as rootkits, browser hijackers, spyware, adware and more. If you must download things of this nature – or perhaps you don’t but your children do – then make sure you run your anti-malware software right after as well as checking what is in your list of Programs under your computer's Start button and deleting anything you don't trust or recognize.

All in all, it could be a false positive (good for you) but it could also be a rather sophisticated rootkit infection. If you got a notification from your anti-virus program about the Win32:Evo-gen [Susp] virus then you need to use anti-rootkit and anti-malware applications just to be sure that your antivirus didn't miss anything. Cyber crooks rarely distribute rootkits without Trojans and spyware. Rootkits are usually used to hide trojans and spyware from security products or reinstall deleted components if needed. If you have questions, please leave a comment below. Good luck and be safe online!

Remove gqs.donedrive.net pop-up virus (Removal Guide)

In this article we are going to take a look at gqs.donedrive.net: what it is, how it gets on your computer and how to get rid of it. In short, it's a browser hijacker. Some users may simply call it a pop-up virus. Browser hijacking is becoming an ever more increasing threat to both our sanity and our security and it is important that we know how to tell if we've been hijacked and if so, what we can do about it, so read on as we find out.

If you have been unlucky enough to have your internet browser hijacked it means that a third party has taken control of your internet's browser. In other words it does exactly what it says on the tin and has hijacked you! The reason that an unknown entity would want to take over your computer? Well it pretty much goes without saying that it's not for a good reason and this unscrupulous hijacker will either be attempting to do some damage to your computer, or to profit from you and make themselves some money.

Browser hijacking can have a number of unfortunate knock on effects. Not all hijackers are the same but you will notice that attempts to access certain websites that you normally visit may end in you being redirected to a website of the hijackers choosing; again pornography, gambling and advertising feature heavily here. Here's an example of a gqs.donedrive.net pop-up that displays gambling advertisement.

In order for someone to be able to hijack your browser and then display gqs.donedrive.net pop-ups they need to install a software program on your system. And in the vast majority of cases this will happen completely without either your permission or your knowledge. The software may come from certain websites that you have browsed or it may be installed as the result of you having clicked on a pop-up advert. If you have clicked on a pop up you have, unfortunately, now just given your permission for this third party to install their software with its malicious coding on your computer. It is for this reason that gqs.donedrive.net falls under the umbrella of malware.

Luckily it is pretty easy to tell when you've had your browser hijacked but prevention is naturally better than cure so it makes sense to protect yourself as much as possible from falling prey to these parasites. Because gqs.donedrive.net isn't really a virus (just a sigh of malware infection) many anti-virus software programs cannot be counted on purely to stop a hijacker in their tracks. However because some browser hijackers, including this one, are able to install themselves on your computer as legitimate programs, they may well appear in the 'add-remove programs' list in your control panel. If this is so, you can get rid of them quickly and easily. Of course, it won't be listed as donedrive.net but rather as LyricXeeker (PUP.Optional.LyricXeeker.A Malwarebytes detection) or LyricsSay-1. If you can't find it, then please follow the removal instructions below. There's a good chance that gqs.donedrive.net problem is caused by malicious browser extension installed by a third-party software. If you have questions, please leave a comment below. Good luck and be safe online!

Remove Trojan horse Generic34.BDPQ, removal instructions

Trojan horse Generic34.BDPQ is a generic detection routine developed to detect common characteristics shared in several malware families. If you have managed to get this Trojan horse on your computer then it will certainly cause AVG infection warnings to come up every to five minutes or so. The worst thing is that this Trojan horse downloads and installs even more sophisticated infections, for instance, Trojan horse Crypt_s.CCD and Luhe.Sirefef.A onto your computer. Even though, Trojan horses are not technically speaking viruses as they do not reproduce themselves, which real computer viruses do. Having said this though a lot of computer viruses do use the same methods that Trojan horses do to originally gain access to your computer's system. And don't be fooled into thinking that just because Trojan horse Generic34.BDPQ isn't truly described as a computer virus that it is not something to be concerned about because it can do just as much, if not more, harm as many of the viruses in current circulation.

This Trojan horse is being distributed via spam, infected emails. Of course, just like any other malware, it can be distributed through infected websites, social networks, etc. When users click links in infected emails they usually get a warning saying that Adobe is trying to make changes to system. Since it's a complex malware infection, antivirus programs may not be able to remove it from the system. Detection rates are usually above the average for this infection, however, when you try to remove it, you may get a notification from AVG saying 'Cannot be removed Access is denied.' It means that one or more files are locked or being used by infected applications and can not be repaired. In such case, you will have to use anti-malware software that is designed to remove deeply embedded malware.

If you think that you've been the victim of a Trojan horse Generic34.BDPQ attack, please follow the removal instructions below. The one problem with this Trojan horse is though that it may leave components on your computer. You can try to remove some of its files manually if you really know what you are doing but after all you still need to scan your computer with anti-malware software. And finally, I know this has been said so many times, there are a number of steps you can take to protect yourself against the annoyance, and potential danger of Trojan horse Generic34.BDPQ, and many of these also apply to other strains of malware too. So read on and start protecting yourself today. Make sure that your security software is always up to date too and that you have the latest patches and upgrades. Pay attention to the sort of websites you (or anyone that uses your PC) visits. Certain websites can be loaded with Trojan horses and other malware. Be very careful when you open email attachments and don't click on links in emails that have come from an unfamiliar sender. Don't download and install software or programs if you don't know or trust the author. Many downloads can be bundled with Trojans and malware. Good luck and be safe online!

Remove BrowseFox virus (Removal Guide)

If you’re reading this article chances are you want to find out a little more about BrowseFox – including, no doubt, how to get rid of it. Read on as we'll take a closer look at this annoying internet parasite.

BrowseFox or Browse Fox is a type of malware that can cause many problems when it comes to using your computer efficiently. In fact, as the name suggests, thanks to it having taken over your computer you might well find that using your PC is virtually impossible. This is because this it will change your browser's settings to ones of its own choice and display ads based on your browsing history. It will also display coupon pop ups called BrowseFox deals on websites such as Amazon, Ebay or Best Buy.

It will inject ads in Google search results, you should notice them easily because below the ads there will be a statement 'BrowseFox ads' or 'Powered by BrowseFox'. As I said, this malware displays mostly relevant ads but I'm sure it may add some ad units randomly or based on ad price.

The main reasons why scammers create such malware is for marketing purposes. Their sole attempt is to advertise and promote their dubious websites or products however there is a little more to aggressive marketing than meets the eye and aside from being a nuisance to deal with, browser hijackers are also harmful and you should most definitely takes steps to remove one from your computer if you've been infected.

So how do you wind up with BrowseFox on your computer in the first place? Well, it's quite easy. If you don't choose what to download and install carefully, you may easily end up with similar malware. All these applications are promoted via pay per install networks or smaller advertising networks that do not care about ad quality. They place ads on dubious sites or even inject them on popular and safe sites using malicious web browser extensions. I've seen lots of ads that are very misleading, claiming that your web browser is outdated or that you need to install media player to view the content, etc. In rare cases, BrowseFox and similar malware can be offered by popular download sites such as Cnet or Softonic. However, they usually check applications before recommending then to their visitors.

This application is detected as PUP.Optional.BrowseFox.A by Malwarebytes, Trojan Generic by TrendMicro, Adware.Searcher.2574 by DrWeb and TR/Downloader.Gen2 by Avira. Other antivirus companies either didn't noticed it yet or decided not to flag it as malware. But it's definitely a potentially unwanted applications at least, so I guess it's just a matter of time. And one more thing, BrowseFox is in no way associated with Mozilla.

BrowseFox is often buried so deeply within your computer's files that it can be extremely tricky for even a computer whizz to find them, so if you are not sure what you're doing and your security software hasn't done the job for you it is best to follow the removal instructions below.

It might be a huge pain but if you want to be able to access your favorite websites without embarrassing ads and want to then it really is vital that you delete Browse Fox so that you can get the best possible browsing experience from your PC. Besides, it may gather information about your browsing habits and send to third-party servers. I'm sure you do not want this. If you have any questions, please leave a comment below. Good luck and be safe online!

Remove ADWARE/bProtect.D, removal instructions

In this article we are going to take a look at what ADWARE/bProtect.D is, how it affects your computer, how it gets onto your operating system and of course how to get rid of it.

ADWARE/bProtect.D is sometimes confused with spyware and although similar they are not exactly the same. It is true that both are forms of malware but although it is a real pain and can affect your computer’s performance, spyware is potentially the nastier of the two. That’s not to say that you want adware on your PC and if you’ve been infected you should definitely remove it as quickly as possible. Having said that you should also takes steps to protect yourself against it too.

You may have noticed how you’ll be on a certain website when you’ll see a pop up advert window or an advert on a web page that uncannily seems to know what you’ve recently looked at – say perhaps it will be offering you hotels in the area you live in or in a location that you’ve been checking out online. Only you are seeing these adverts because that is what you have been previously looking at.

A lot of adverts are also completely random and these are also being displayed by the software in an attempt to recoup money for the program developers. This is because ADWARE/bProtect.D is most often bundled with freeware or shareware – free downloads and software that are available for you to use on the internet. By using adware the developers have a chance of recouping some of the costs of developing that freeware. Often the random ads you see will be for gambling websites, games or even pornographic websites.

The problem with ADWARE/bProtect.D, asides from monitoring your browsing habits and being really annoying is that it will affect the performance of your computer, slowing it down and causing websites to take ages to load, or even crash. This is because your PC now has the components of the program running on it and because the adware is using your own internet connection to relay information about what sites you are visiting back to its server. What is more, this application protects browser settings that were changed by browser hijackers. bProtect is just a short version of browser protect (browserprotect.exe). The main goal is to block any attempt to uninstall associated software from your computer and make sure that other browser hijackers won't change those settings.

So how does ADWARE/bProtect.D get on to your computer in the first place? Well apart from being bundled with freeware and shareware it can also be hidden in fake video streaming and download sites. If a website is asking you to download and install specific media player or Flash player update, please be very careful.

If you have been infected with ADWARE/bProtect.D the first step to getting rid of it is scanning your computer with anti-malware software. To do this please follow the removal instructions below. Even though, you may uninstall most of the files manually, you can never know what other adware or even spyware came with this application.

Restart your computer and you should find the adware has disappeared. It is highly recommended however to always run your anti-virus or anti-adware software too incase there are any components of the adware still lurking on your PC.

Remove Safehomepage.com, removal instructions

Safehomepage.com is a browser hijacker that will alter your web browser's settings. It will change your home page and default search engine provider. It can also hijack your web browser shortcut and install additional software onto your computer. So, how do you recover from it if you've been hijacked? Read on as this article is going to take a look at exactly that.

First of all, browser hijacking is an irritating practice whereby malware and unscrupulous websites change your browser settings without your knowledge or permission. In other words the malware or website hijacks or kidnaps your browser. This is just as frustrating as it sounds because what this means is that you will be subjected to one, most or all of the following annoyances:

• Your browser's home page will have changed from the one that you usually use – for example Google, Yahoo or Bing – to one not of your choosing, in this case safehomepage.com
• The search engine that you use when browsing the web will suddenly start redirecting you to websites that you have no interest in visiting.
• Some of the other websites that you visit may also redirect you to different sites
• Your computer screen will very likely be flooded with a constant stream of pop-up adverts or advertising banners
• You may have had a strange tool bar installed on your browser which rather than adding any extra functions is annoying and unusable
• Your bookmarks or favorites folders may suddenly be populated with dozens, if not hundreds, of URLs to websites that you have never even visited, let alone saved as a favorite.

If your home page of choice has been hijacked and is forcing you to use a home page against your will then you naturally will want to resolve the issue. But how do you do that? First of all it’s useful to know how browser hijacking takes place.

Safehomepage.com will find its way on to your computer system along with freeware and fake installers. Fake installers are distributed in various ways. If you got a notification from a web page saying that your Flash player is outdated then you probably visited a bogus site promoting fake installers, read more here. This browser hijacker is also promoted on various software download sites. Not the most popular ones but still with enough traffic to infection thousands of PCs in different countries. It is usually presented as an 'offer' before the actual download begins.

This would be a good time to say that if you don’t have anti-virus, anti-spyware or another type of security software installed on your PC then you should do this as a matter of urgency. Having a reputable security program on your PC is your first and best line of defense against being infected by any of the numerous types of malware that are out there, not just browser hijackers.

So, you’ve run your anti-malware or other security program a couple of times and rebooted your PC or laptop but your home page and search engine are still redirecting you to safehomepage.com? This means that the problem could have been caused by an application which was installed without your knowledge or permission and that is hidden deep somewhere within your computer’s system. Please follow the removal instructions below, this hopefully will help you get rid of the hijack and restore your computer.

If you’re still having trouble, don’t panic – browser hijackers, including safehomepage.com, are designed to be as difficult as possible to find and uninstall so please leave a comment below and I will try to to help you. Good luck and be safe online!
