Researchers have recently discovered a new malicious application that acts as ransomware - D2+D Ransomware. Unlike other infections of this type, this one does not currently encrypt any files, but its new version might be updated and start working properly. The version of D2+D Ransomware researchers working at anti-spyware-101.com have analyzed does not encrypt files but, instead, it tries to convince users that it is not a joke by opening a red window on Desktop. It tells users that their files have been encrypted and the only way to terminate ransomware is to purchase the key, enter it in the box located on the opened window, and click the “Unlock now!” button. Before you take action, go to check your files – there is a very huge possibility that they are fine. If so, there is no point in purchasing the key from cyber criminals. To be frank, you should not do that even if you find your files encrypted because there are no guarantees that you could unlock your files. First, you can get a useless key. Second, you might get nothing after sending the amount of money required. Even if you get a decryption key, ransomware will still stay active on your computer and might encrypt your files again at any time. Read more »

A new ransomware infection encrypting files has emerged - Anony.killers@protonmail.com Ransomware. At present, it is not a prevalent threat. According to researchers at anti-spyware-101.com, it has been primarily developed for testing purposes and, as a consequence, unlike other ransomware-type infections, it encrypts files in only one folder D:\DemoEnryption. Users should not have this folder on their computers. Even if they do, chances are zero to none that it will be located in the same place, i.e. D: drive, so they should not discover a single encrypted file on their systems. Of course, theoretically, Anony.killers@protonmail.com Ransomware might be updated one day and start encrypting files in other directories too – cyber criminals might borrow this infection from its developers to extract money from users easier. No matter which of these versions of ransomware you encounter, the deletion of this infection is a must. Fortunately, this infection does not make any modifications that would be impossible to undo manually with our help. More information about this threat and its deletion is provided in the paragraphs that follow. Read more »

Compared with other file-encrypting applications, Ruby Ransomware does not appear to be so dangerous since the program is most likely still in the development stage. In other words, if the malware is distributed at all, its creators are probably doing so just to test how it works and learn how to improve it. Currently, it would seem the infection might fail to encrypt its targeted data as the version our researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com tested did not encipher a single file. If you encountered a variant that does not lock any data too, you can consider yourself lucky. In such case, we advise you to learn from this experience and strengthen your system as you may yet encounter more dangerous malicious software in the future. Besides reading the rest of the text, we would also recommend erasing Ruby Ransomware as leaving it on the system might be risky. If you need any guidance in this process, have a look at the instructions located below the article. Read more »
