Everything you need to know about Clown Ransomware is that it is a malicious program that encrypts data with special algorithms and requires paying a ransom to decrypt it. Malware can be classified as one of the variations of BigBobRoss Ransomware. After infiltration, Clown will rename the stored data according to one of these patterns: [SupportClown@elude.in][id={random-8-digit-set}]1.mp4.clown+, [Heeeh98@tutanota.com][id={random-8-digit-set}]1.jpg.notfound or [id={random-8-digit-set}]1.png.DMR64. Thereafter, it drops text files called HOW TO RECOVER ENCRYPTED FILES.txt and !!! READ THIS !!!.hta onto the victim's desktop. In this note, cybercriminals demand to contact them via e-mail by writing your ID in the subject. As a result, you are obliged to pay a specific fee in BTC to retrieve your data unless you want it to remain locked forever because third-parties tools are often unable to break appended ciphers.

GoGoogle is a ransomware-type virus that encrypts users' data with cryptographic algorithms. Note that it has no correlation with Google Services. Those who get infected with programs of such type, experience immediate data encryption that undergoes a couple of changes. Firstly, the affected files get appended with new .google extension, cybercriminal's e-mail, and victim's ID. For instance, the original 1.mp4 will be renamed to 1.mp4_ID_512064768_Bossi_tosi@protonmail.com.google or 1.mp4_ID_882345678_bitsupportz@protonmail.com.google after penetration. After that, GoGoogle drops the FileRecovery.txt text note with ransom information. Inside the message, extortionists strongly insist on not attempting to unblock your data manually since this can lead to permanent loss. Instead, you should contact them via e-mail and pay for the guaranteed key that will decrypt your data. Unfortunately, trusting cyber criminals is a huge risk because they can dump you easily and not recover your files.

Being part of DCRTR-WDM Ransomware family, Rhino Ransomware is a malicious program that stealthily infiltrates systems and encrypts data stored on them. Likewise other ransomware-type programs, Rhino attacks files by appending new .rhino extension (with cybercriminal's e-mail) and creating a text file afterward. For example, if the original 1.mp4 gets interfered with Rhino Ransomware, it will be changed to 1.mp4.[generalchin@countermail.com].rhino. After the virus encrypted your data, it drops the info.hta file in the %APPDATA% folder and the ReadMe_Decryptor.txt file on a desktop. The information contained in the note explains how to decrypt your data. To do so, you have to contact them via their e-mail and pay for the decryption software in Bitcoin. Additionally, there has been a very popular method around developers to cultivate the trust of victims - they allow them to send 1 file (less than 500 Kb) for free decryption. Unfortunately, unlocking data with third-parties tools is typically impossible unless ransomware has flaws or bugs.

Since the release of Windows 10, users have been struggling with multiple issues being popped-up along with the usage. One of the most annoying issues that boggle users is DNS server isn't responding error. The "DNS server isn't responding" message is inherently related to network issues since The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical and decentralized naming system for computers, services, or other resources connected to the Internet or a private network. To simplify, DNS is meant to translate IP-addresses to hostnames so that we could easily surf the browser. To illustrate, without the DNS feature we would be forced to type 23.229.180.80 instead of simply https://www.bugsfighter.com. Thus, it plays a significant role in alleviating the browsing experience. Unfortunately, sometimes you can see the "DNS server isn't responding" error that hinders you from entering a specific website. This may be seen due to router issues and other inner connection settings. To fix this problem, follow the steps that are mentioned below.

Suspected to be another version of STOP (DJVU) Ransomware, VoidCrypt is a malicious program that encrypts personal data with the .void extension. Originally, this virus used to have the .dewar extension until it has been upgraded to ".void". To be honest, there is no difference between them because the encryption process looks precisely the same. After successful encryption, the standard 1.mp4 will be renamed to 1.mp4.[xtredboy@protonmail.com][ID-EJHPFWKYCNQ5***].void which includes cybercriminal's e-mail and a unique ID. After that, VoidCrypt creates a text-like notification, that informs users about encryption. After finishing the encryption process ransomware creates and opens the following ransom note, called Decryption-Info.HTA .

ZyNoXiOn is a file-encrypting virus that leaves significant damage after its penetration. Such programs are categorized as ransomware and restrict access to files by applying strong algorithms. All of the affected data get appended with .ZyNoXiOn extension. This means that a typical file like 1.mp4 will be changed to 1.mp4.ZyNoXiOn and reset its icon. Once the encryption process is done, users are facing the text file named HOW TO DECRYPT FILES.txt that contains ransom information. Unfortunately, in most cases, you cannot decrypt data without the involvement of cybercriminals. This is why extortionists propose paying 0.13 BTC (roughly 900 USD) through the attached link to obtain special keys that will unlock the encrypted files. Once done, you have to contact them via their e-mail to get the promised tools. Luckily, with the help of contemporary tools designed by world-class laboratories, it is possible to delete ZyNoXiOn Ransomware and decrypt the infected data.

Since Windows 10 was released, Windows started promoting its integral store to install multiple apps from both native and third-parties providers. When trying to open the store, people face a flat window with the featured text: "Try that again, Something happened at our end, Waiting a bit might help, The error code is 0x80131500 in case you need it". If you are not a fan of installing software from that part, then this error might not disturb you at all. However, for some people who got used to utilizing Windows Store regularly and evade downloading programs from web resources, the error may become irritating and time-consuming. It usually pops up due to connection problems, wrong settings, and malware infections. In this article, we will prove that solving 0x80131500 can be carried easily with the help of underneath steps.

If you stumble upon 0x800f0988 error when trying to update the system, then this post will help you fix this issue. Users reported that the problem pop-ups when installing KB4512508 Cumulative Update for Windows 10. Sometimes the error code may vary from 0x800f0988; 0x0xc1900223223; 0x80240034; 0x8007000E, to others. However, all of them have the same reason for the occurrence. Usually, failed Windows updates happen due to corrupted/missing files or interfered settings (especially by malware) that affect Update Services. In this article, we have presented a deck of steps that will resolve this annoying error.
