MoneroPay Ransomware, which is also sometimes referred to as SpriteCoin Ransomware, is a nasty malicious application that is distributed as a cryptocurrency miner. Specifically speaking, it is promoted as a tool for mining SpriteCoin, a digital currency that does not even exist. Because of this, it is not at all surprising that some users themselves allow the ransomware infection to enter their systems. If you have also installed MoneroPay Ransomware expecting that it will help you to earn some money, remove it immediately because it does not act as the miner and will never become a useful piece of software. It is only distributed by cyber crooks to extract money from users more easily. If you have already encountered this threat, do not even think about sending money to malicious software developers. You should primarily focus on the MoneroPay Ransomware removal. If you do not erase it from your system, it will continue working on your computer. Restarting the computer is not an effective solution to the problem in this case because it is one of these ransomware infections that create entries in the system registry to be able to start working automatically when the Windows OS launches. It means that you will disable it only by removing all malicious components from the system. We will help you to delete the ransomware infection (you will find more about its removal if you read the last paragraph), but we cannot promise that you could unlock your encrypted personal files because free decryption software does not exist and transferring money to cyber criminals is a nonsense.

Thus, it is probably possible to say that Rsa-ni Ransomware is aiming a little bit higher. Nevertheless, even so, it does not make it any different from all the previously released, those infected need to work on removing this program from their systems. In this description, we will discuss the program in greater detail. Read more »

Some ransomware infections only trick victims into thinking that their data is encrypted or that the encrypted files will be deleted permanently. The CryptWalker ransomware is one of those threats that do what is said in the ransom note. If you have this threat on your computer, we encourage you to act immediately to remove the infection. This ransomware infection can delete your files, and the longer you wait, the more files you are going to lose.

The CryptWalker ransomware has the interface of the Jigsaw ransomware but displays different requirements in the so-called ransom warning. The files encrypted by the Jigsaw ransomware can be decrypted by a third-party decryption tool, and, if you choose to try some decryptor to restore your files affected by the CryptWalker threat, note that you do that on your own responsibility.
