How to remove the SimplLocker ransomware.

The SimplLocker ransomware is a piece of ransomware that infects Android devices. The issue with mobile malware seems to be evolving, as this ransomware encrypts files and stops anything else on your Android device from working correctly.

It informs you of what it has done via a ransom screen that demands $21 to decrypt your files and continue using your device properly.

The ransomware is downloaded and installed when you download something online that claims to be something else, but is actually the ransomware. This ransomware is not found on the Google Play Store.

Manual removal of this ransomware has proven to be a difficult task, so we are going to be using an automated app made by avast! in this removal guide.

Step #1: Go to http://play.google.com from your computer.

Step #2: Login to the Google Play Store with the same user information you use to login to your device.

Step #3: Search for avast! Ransomware Removal in the Google Play Store.

Step #4: Click on the “Install” button to install avast! Ransomware Removal to your device.

Step #5: After avast! Ransomware Removal is installed on your device, press avast! Ransomware Removal in the notification bar.

Step #6: avast! Ransomware Removal will start and provide you with further instructions.

Step #7: Allow avast! Ransomware Removal to scan your device.

Step #8: After the scan is over, avast! Ransomware Removal will remove the ransomware from your device and decrypt your files.

Step #9: Uninstall avast! Ransomware Removal so that you can further use your device.

Your device should now be free of the SimplLock ransomware. I would consider looking into a free or paid anti-malware app for your Android device if you already did not have one on your device when you got infected with the ransomware.

How to remove the Koler Android Ransomware.

This blog post will be dealing with a new kind of ransomware that infects devices running Android.

It infects your Android device by asking you to download an app off the internet that claims to be helpful in some way. But it is actually just the ransomware. This app can only be found online and you will not find it in the Google Play Store.

In order for it to actually download the ransomware, you will need to allow your Android device to download from untrusted sources. When installing the app, it will ask for permission to access system tools in some way.

But the best way to tell if you are infected is if you get a notice saying your device (phone or tablet) is blocked. This notice will claim to come from places such as the FBI in order to make you think that it is real.

The ransomware will demand a payment of $300 in order to unlock your device. It will demand this payment in the form of a MoneyPak card.

It is strongly advised that you do not pay the ransom. Instead, follow the following removal guide. Please note that you should read all steps before starting removal, as this ransomware will pop back up every few seconds.

So in other words, attempt to remove this as fast as possible.

Regular Removal Guide:

Step #1: Go to Settings.

Step #2: Go to Apps.

Step #3: Scroll down in the list of apps until you find the app responsible for the ransomware.

Step #4: Touch the app and hit uninstall.

Step #5: Go to the Google Play Store to download an anti-malware app such as Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Mobile.

Step #6: Launch the anti-malware app and run a scan.

Step #7: Remove or uninstall anything the scan finds.

Persistence will pay off with this, but if you find it too hard to complete this removal guide without the ransomware coming back up, we will have to remove it from safe mode.

Safe Mode Removal Guide:

Step #1: Find out how to reboot your Android device into Safe Mode. Unfortunatly, most Android device makers have different ways of booting your device into Safe Mode. And there are so many ways that I just cannot list them all in this removal guide.

I suggest you use your favorite search engine on a computer (like the one you are using to read this) to look for how to boot into Safe Mode for your specific device or device manufacturer.

Step #2: Go to Settings.

Step #3: Go to Apps.

Step #4: Scroll down in the list of apps until you find the app responsible for the ransomware.

Step #5: Touch the app and hit uninstall.

Step #6: Boot your device into the Normal Mode.

Step #7: Go to the Google Play Store and download an anti-malware app.

Step #8: Launch the anti-malware app and run a scan with it.

Step #9: Remove on uninstall anything the scan finds.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update: May 9th, 2014, 10:13 AM CST.

Evidently some anti-malware vendors are now talking about this story as well. Which is good because it provides publicity to this which helps protect more people.

Although an issue with some independent bloggers who are talking about this is that they consider it akin to the file encrypting ransomware for Windows computers known as CryptoLocker.

This is incorrect and this ransomware does not encrypt any files on your Android device.

How to remove the Nationzoom.com Adware.

I don't often make removal guides about adware. Only when said adware has gotten to the point where it has gotten so widespread that I am seeing multiple cases where I remove it. With that in mind, I decided to write a removal guide for the Nationzoom.com adware.

Step #1: Click the start button. Then select or search for Control Panel. Then click Add/Remove programs or Uninstall a program.

Step #2: When the new window opens, uninstall the following programs if you find any of them: Wsys Control, Extended Protection, eSave Security Control, Desk 365, Nation Zoom browser protection.

After manual removal, you may find it hard to get your browsers back under control. With that in mind, I have written a few mini-guides below for popular browsers.

Mini-guide 1: Internet Explorer

Step #1: Open Internet Explorer. Then click on the gear icon near the top right. Then click on Internet Options.

Step #2: Click on the advanced tab then click reset.

Step #3: Check the delete personal settings checkbox. Then click reset.

Mini-guide 2: Mozilla Firefox

Step #1: Open Firefox. Then click on the orange Firefox button at the top left of the window. Then click Add-ons and then go to extensions.

Step #2: If you see Nation zoom or Extended Protection, disable or remove them depending on the options Firefox gives you.

Step #3: Close the tab and go back to the Firefox button. Then click on options, then General. Change your homepage to what it was before.

Step #4: Change your search provider to what it was before by clicking the drop down menu on the search bar.

Mini-guide 3: Google Chrome

Step #1: Open Google Chrome and Click on the following link: chrome://extensions/

Step #2: If you see Extended Protection 1.9 or Lightning Newtab, click on the trash can on the side of them.

Step #3: With that tab still open, click on settings. Then change your search provider to what it was before.

How to remove Windows Internet Guard (Rogue)

Here is how to remove it:

Step #1: Reboot your computer. As soon as you see anything on your screen, press the F8 key.

Step #2: On the boot menu, choose Safe Mode with Command Prompt.

Step #3: Once the computer has started up, in the command prompt window, type in regedit and press enter.

Step #6: Double-click Shell and clear the entry data and replace it with "explorer.exe" (without quotes)

Step #1: Reboot your computer. As soon as you see anything on your screen, press the F8 key.

Step #2: On the boot menu, choose Safe Mode with Networking.

Step #3: In order to remove the rogue, we will use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. Download it here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mwb-download/

Step #4: Run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and install it.

Step #5: Run a full scan. This may take some time depending on the number of files on your computer. So I suggest that you go do something else while you are waiting for the scan to finish.

This may be a good time to watch a 30 minute show you've been meaning to see, or finish that good book you have been reading that you just cannot seem to put down.

Step #6: Once the scan is done, click OK on the dialog box in order to see the results.

Step #7: Click Remove Selected and allow it to reboot your computer if it asks you to.

Step #8: Your computer should now be free of Futurro Antivirus Software.
