Jew Crypt Ransomware

If your computer is under attack by Jew Crypt Ransomware, this time you may be in luck and not lose all your important file in this hit. Although most ransomware programs do a devastating job by encrypting your photos, videos, documents, archives, and program files that you usually cannot even recover even if you pay the ransom fee, this malware infection seems to be the odd one out.

Well, there is no need to think about paying anyway because if you are attacked by the version that we have found, you have nothing to fear. If you want to restore your system security, you simply need to remove Jew Crypt Ransomware immediately. But before you rush to do so, let us tell you how you may have infected your machine with this threat in the first place. Read more »

Cryptoshadow Ransomware

Cryptoshadow Ransomware

Cryptoshadow Ransomware is most likely targeted at users who speak the Spanish language, although it does not mean other users cannot encounter it. What allows us to make such an assumption is the malware’s provided ransom note as its title, and the text inside are both in Spanish. However, since the ransom note does not provide any useful information, there is no difference whether you understand what is written in it or not. Apparently, the malicious program encrypts user’s data but does not ask for payment to be made in exchange for a decryptor. Given the circumstances, our researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com recommend Cryptoshadow Ransomware’s removal. It will not unlock encrypted files, but keeping the threat on the computer will not help either. On the contrary, it could be dangerous, so it might be best to get rid of it either manually with the instructions located below or with a legitimate antimalware tool. Read more »
