'Insane@airmail.cc' Ransomware, also known as InsaneCrypt Ransomware, is a new threat to your files, which can sneak onto your computer behind you back and encrypt all your important files. Our malware experts at anti-spyware-101.com say that this ransomware program may actually be decryptable, which could mean that your files could be recovered. However, there is no free tool yet available that you could use to recover your files, but it is quite likely to surface in the near future. These attackers want you to contact them for further detail on payment since the ransom note is rather short and lacking information. We have no information yet as to the amount of the ransom fee but we do not advise you to pay any money, either. It would be a waste if you consider the possibility that a free decryptor may emerge soon and it is not even guaranteed that these cyber criminals keep their word and send you the decryption key. We advise you to remove 'Insane@airmail.cc' Ransomware immediately if you want to use your computer. Read more »

Researchers working at anti-spyware-101.com have discovered a new malicious application Velso Ransomware. It is one of those harmful threats that encrypt files on compromised machines so that cyber criminals behind them could obtain money from users. This infection locks almost all files it finds on affected computers, including documents, pictures, text files, music, videos, and even web browsers (Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome). All this threat wants from you is your money, but you should not transfer a penny to cyber criminals even if you are told that it is the only way to get files back. We are strictly against sending money to crooks because you do not know whether they will return files to you. Second, users should not support malicious software developers by sending money to them because they might encounter their new creations in the near future. Of course, it does not mean that you can keep the ransomware infection active on your computer because it might be launched again and perform the encryption of files one more time. If it happens, all the newest files will become locked. We are sure you do not want this to happen to you, so we will help you to remove Velso Ransomware from your system completely.
