Best Lucky Cat

Best Lucky Cat is representatives of the software family known as browser hijackers and it isn’t typically a direct threat to the safety and health of a computer system. In fact,  the Best Lucky Cat virus is part of some other software piece that is legitimate, making the hijacker legitimate as well.

However, what those software components lack in danger levels and maliciousness, they make up for in irritation and ability to annoy the web users. A browser hijacker is basically a specialized tool of online promotion – those apps are programmed to insert themselves in Chrome, Safari, Firefox and other browsers and to promote some pages, search engines or other online services in them. A page named Best Lucky Cat is one example of what a hijacker may page-redirect the user to if it is present inside the browser.

Best Lucky Cat xyz

In fact, if you have the hijacker related to Best Lucky Cat xyz inside your system, you are likely to have the homepage of the browser changed to Best Lucky Cat xyz . Now, this isn’t a major issue for most users.

However, in addition to the homepage replacement, other elements of your browser may get changed as well, and all of that without your direct permission. In addition, you may start experiencing various browser disruptions while you are on the Internet – sudden and unwelcome page-redirects, invasive pop-ups that show up on your screen to mess with your browsing experience and even fake warnings about issues with your computer that are aimed at selling you some obscure piece of software, which could supposedly deal with the problems inside your system – problems you most likely don’t even have. Such is the nature of most hijackers and the one related to Best Lucky Cat and Wp20.ru  is no exception. Therefore, if you want to save yourself from this irritation, it’s best if you uninstall Best Lucky Cat and the hijacker behind it. To help you with that, we have prepared a set of instructions that can be found in the Best Lucky Cat removal guide on this page.

What is Best Lucky Cat xyz 

If you do not think that this is such a big issue and that you can put up with the irritation brought by the Best Lucky Cat xyz  hijacker, know that there is actually another, far more important reason why the unwelcome software needs to be removed. Although it isn’t a dangerous app in and of itself, the Best Lucky Cat xyz hijacker may make your system less secure than you’d like it to be.

The random redirects to sites with questionable contents and the misleading clickbait banners and pop-ups you may face online if you have a hijacker attached to your browser could easily land you on unsafe online addresses, and as you probably already know, there are far more dangerous pieces of software out there on the Internet – insidious Ransomware cryptoviruses, sneaky Spyware programs, harmful Trojan Horses and so on and so forth. A hijacker inside your browsing program may not be a threat on its own but it could certainly increase the likelihood of encountering some real malware, which is why the removal of the hijacker is the course of action we advise you to take.

WARNING! READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING!

We get asked this a lot, so we are putting it here: Removing a malware manually may take hours and damage your system in the process. We recommend downloading SpyHunter to see if it can detect the malware for you.

 *Read more details in the first ad on this page, EULA, Privacy Policy, and full terms for Free Remover.

Press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC at the same time and go to the Processes Tab (the “Details” Tab on Win 8 and 10). Try to determine which processes are dangerous. 

Right click on each of them and select Open File Location. Then scan the files with our free online virus scanner:

Each file will be scanned with up to 64 antivirus programs to ensure maximum accuracy

This scanner is free and will always remain free for our website's users.

This file is not matched with any known malware in the database. You can either do a full real-time scan of the file or skip it to upload a new file. Doing a full scan with 64 antivirus programs can take up to 3-4 minutes per file.

This scanner is based on VirusTotal's API. By submitting data to it, you agree to their Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and to the sharing of your sample submission with the security community. Please do not submit files with personal information if you do not want them to be shared.

After you open their folder, end the processes that are infected, then delete their folders. 

Note: If you are sure something is part of the infection – delete it, even if the scanner doesn’t flag it. No anti-virus program can detect all infections. 

Hold together the Start Key and R. Type appwiz.cpl –> OK.

You are now in the Control Panel. Look for suspicious entries. Uninstall it/them.

Type msconfig in the search field and hit enter. A window will pop-up:

Startup —> Uncheck entries that have “Unknown” as Manufacturer or otherwise look suspicious.

Hold the Start Key and R –  copy + paste the following and click OK:

notepad %windir%/system32/Drivers/etc/hosts

A new file will open. If you are hacked, there will be a bunch of other IPs connected to you at the bottom. Look at the image below:

If there are suspicious IPs below “Localhost” – write to us in the comments.

Open the start menu and search for Network Connections (On Windows 10 you just write it after clicking the Windows button), press enter.

1. Right-click on the Network Adapter you are using —> Properties —> Internet Protocol Version 4 (ICP/IP), click  Properties.
2. The DNS line should be set to Obtain DNS server automatically. If it is not, set it yourself.
3. Click on Advanced —> the DNS tab. Remove everything here (if there is something) —> OK.

• After you complete this step, the threat will be gone from your browsers. Finish the next step as well or it may reappear on a system reboot.

Right click on the browser’s shortcut —> Properties.

NOTE: We are showing Google Chrome, but you can do this for Firefox and IE (or Edge).

Properties —–> Shortcut. In Target, remove everything after .exe.

  Remove Best Lucky Cat  from Internet Explorer:

Open IE, click   —–> Manage Add-ons.

Find the threat —> Disable. Go to  —–> Internet Options —> change the URL to whatever you use (if hijacked) —> Apply.

 Remove Best Lucky Cat  from Firefox:

Open Firefox, click    ——-> Add-ons —-> Extensions.

Remove Best Lucky Cat  from Chrome:

Close Chrome. Navigate to:

 C:/Users/!!!!USER NAME!!!!/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data. There is a Folder called “Default” inside:

Rename it to Backup Default. Restart Chrome.

Type Regedit in the windows search field and press Enter.

Inside, press CTRL and F together and type the threat’s Name. Right click and delete any entries you find with a similar name. If they don’t show up this way, go manually to these directories and delete/uninstall them:

• HKEY_CURRENT_USER—-Software—–Random Directory. It could be any one of them – ask us if you can’t discern which ones are malicious.
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER—-Software—Microsoft—-Windows—CurrentVersion—Run– Random
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER—-Software—Microsoft—Internet Explorer—-Main—- Random
