Xtconnect.com is another copy of relatively known browser virus called Airfind. Xtconnect has the same features, like other Airfind mirrors.

Favor1t.com is another type of adware that is part of potentially unwanted programs. Like similar malware, it comes in the form of browser extensions and steals all browsers installed on your system.

Mimicry Ransomware, also known as ShivaGood Ransomware, is another cryptovirus, extorting money from users. As with similar extortion programs, this encrypts data on the user's computer, which can represent one or another value. It can be office documents, PDF files, video and audio files, multimedia and so on. Of course, these files become useless after encryption.
