second monitor not working monterey 12.4

Currently, the newest macOS version is macOS Monterey 12.4, which released on 16th of May 2022. Though the changelog released by Apple is incredibly short, the update brought many important security fixes to the operating system. That said, if you haven’t updated to 12.4, you might want to wait a bit longer, because it also introduced a pretty serious bug. It only concerns those that use more than one monitor, though, so if you’re only using a single one – feel free to update. And for those unfortunate users who have already updated and are now experiencing issues with their second monitor not working in Monterey 12.4, we have prepared this article. Read below for more information on the bug and on how to fix it.

How to remove Yashma ransomware

Yashma is a ransomware program derived from Chaos Ransomware. Generally speaking, ransomware refers to a category of malicious programs that exist to make money for a hacker by holding the victim’s files hostage. This is accomplished by first encrypting the files, rendering them inaccessible. Then, a ransom note is created, typically on the desktop, telling the victim that it is possible to decrypt the files by paying the hacker (usually in Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency).
However, Chaos ransomware is particularly malicious. Some variants of Chaos do not even bother actually decrypting the files, they just replace them with files consisting of random characters to pretend that they’re “encrypted”. Obviously, it is not possible to decrypt these files, though there’s still a chance they can be recovered by other means.
There are several reasons why you shouldn’t engage with the hackers. First, the payment they demand is very steep. Second, you have no guarantee that they’ll decrypt your files after you pay, and in some cases, it may not even be possible. Third, by paying the hackers you’re encouraging them to carry out further attacks.
The obvious alternative is to use anti-malware and anti-ransomware applications to remove Yashma ransomware yourself and, hopefully, restore the files. This guide will walk you through the process.

How to remove news-fedaka.cc notifications

What is news-fedaka.cc?

News-fedaka.cc is a malicious website that utilizes a clickbait tactic to trick users into allowing notifications. This permission is then utilized to show copious amounts of advertisements to said users. To be more specific, the website consists of a fake video player, a text saying “Click Allow to watch the video”, and, of course, the prompt to show notifications. The spammers hope that an inattentive user would just automatically click “Allow” without realizing that they’re allowing the website to “notify” them. In addition, after agreeing to notifications, the users are redirected to another website that also prompts the user to allow notifications. So if you’re receiving news-fedaka.cc spam, you may also be receiving spam from yousweeps.com. The advertisements these websites show are also fraudulent in nature – they seem to revolve around easy ways to make ridiculous amounts of money online. You don’t need to be a fancy threat analyst to tells these are scams, but, just to be sure – these are all scams. Another thing to note is that those deceptive websites often have names like this one, starting with “news”, then several random letters, then “.cc”. For example, news-hoyisa.cc and news-hetayi.cc are also spam websites. You should be suspicious of websites like this in the future and do not give them the permission to send you notifications. But what should you do to make your computer stop telling you about “wonderful opportunities to earn $500 in 10 minutes without leaving your house” right now? Thankfully, it is very easy to remove news-fedaka.cc notifications.

How to remove Hajd ransomware and decrypt .hajd files

Hajd ransomware is one of many viruses in the STOP/Djvu family of ransomware. A lot of people have valuable information on their computers, and ransomware programs take advantage of that. Once on a victim’s computer, a ransomware virus would decrypt all the files, and tell the victim that they must pay the hacker to get their files back. This is why these programs are called ransomware – they make money through ransom.
Hajd is almost indistinguishable from other STOP/Djvu ransomware. Much like the rest of them, it gives the encrypted files a new extension – .hajd in this case. To communicate its demands to the victim, it creates a “_readme.txt” file on the desktop. However, if you are a victim of Hajd, you should not follow these demands – the government agencies from all around the world recommend not paying ransom for several reasons. Read the article below to learn how to remove Hajd ransomware and how to decrypt .hajd files, all without spending a penny.

How to remove thispcprotected.com notifications

What is thispcprotected.com?

Thispcprotected.com is a dishonest website that pretends to be an antivirus, specifically McAfee antivirus. When the user opens this web page, they are shown a window that looks like an antivirus window, telling the user that their PC is infected. This is not true, as thispcprotected.com is not a real antivirus, it is just a site that mimics one. It does not have access to your computer and cannot perform any real virus scans. The hackers are simply targeting inattentive and absentminded PC users with this fake, as well as people who are not good with computers. Why are they doing this? Simple, the website asks its visitors to allow it to show notifications.

Once the user clicks “Allow”, they will start receiving a lot of spam – advertisements, more fake pop-up alerts, clickbait “news”, as well as any other type of spam that the hackers thought up. This, of course, is very annoying, and any person who’s been a target of this would want to remove thispcprotected.com notifications from their computer.

How to remove news-hetayi.cc notifications

What is news-hetayi.cc?

News-hetayi.cc is a deceitful website. It consists of a simple black screen and a prompt to allow notifications. To convince the users to do so, the website says “If you’re 18+ click Allow”. Though news-hetayi.cc doesn’t actually promise anything, it is implied that doing so will let the user access the website’s content. It is further implied that the website’s content is adult in nature, as the prompt pretends to be an age confirmation check.
This is not a legitimate website hosting content of any kind, it is just a way to trick users into letting the hackers “notify” them. Said notifications consist of nothing but spam – a large amount of dishonest, malicious advertisements, such as clickbait news articles, links to a “game that just took your country by storm” which is in fact a virus, and other fraudulent information. Although they are very annoying, it is easy to remove news-hetayi.cc notifications. All you have to do is to follow the guide below.

How to remove Qpss ransomware and decrypt .qpss files

Qpss is a ransomware program that belongs to the STOP/Djvu ransomware family. Ransomware is a name given to malicious programs that exist to make money by encrypting the user’s files and asking for payment – for ransom – to decrypt them. Other programs in this family include Tuid and Nqsq. Most STOP/Djvu viruses act the same, and Qpss is no exception. All files encrypted by Qpss are given the .qpss file extension, and a single unencrypted file, named “_openme.txt” is placed on the victim’s desktop. This is a note that contains the demand for ransom and the instructions on how to pay it.

This program is a part of the STOP/Djvu ransomware family (other examples include Nqsq and Reco), and, as such, behaves very similarly to other programs in this family.
The article below will explain why paying the ransom is a bad idea. It will teach you how to remove Tuid ransomware from your computer, and how to decrypt .tuid files without paying any money to the hackers.

How to remove Borat RAT malware

What is Borat RAT?

Borat RAT is a “Trojan” type malicious program, specifically a Remote Access Trojan – RAT. It has several functions, all of which pose threat to your computer and data stored on it. The most important one is that it will give the hackers the ability to fully control your PC. This is why it is called a “Remote Access Trojan”. This alone is very dangerous, as this means hackers will be able to install a cryptocurrency miner or make your computer a part of a botnet. But it gets even worse, as Borat RAT can automatically send certain data to the hackers without the need for them to intervene. It steals your browser’s cookies – files may give hackers the ability to access some of your online accounts. It can also record audio and video, assuming your computer has the hardware necessary to do this, of course. Lastly, Borat RAT can, should the hacker in control decide to do so, encrypt all files on your computer and start demanding ransom for decrypting it. Overall, it is a thoroughly unpleasant program, and you should take steps to remove Borat RAT the second you learn it’s on your computer.
