Did GrujaRSorium Ransomware invade your Windows operating system? You are not supposed to know this right away, but once this infection encrypts files, it also displays a message that reveals the entire attack.

If you continue reading, you will learn why interacting with the creators of the infection is a terrible idea, and you will learn how to delete GrujaRSorium Ransomware from the Windows operating system.

ChaCha Ransomware plays an audio recording saying your files were encrypted and then shows a black screen with a message from the malware’s creators.

It might even say the cybercriminals will give you a fair price or guarantee that you will get the needed decryption tools, but, the truth is, there are no guarantees when dealing with hackers.

It’s one thing to deal with a ransomware infection, and then it’s another thing to deal with Trojan. Although both are closely related, when we battle ransomware infections, we often have the “visual.” With Trojans like Krypton Stealer, it is often hard to tell whether this program is installed on your system or not without a proper scan. Hence, if you want to remove Krypton Stealer from your computer, you have probably performed a full system scan already, and you know that you must terminate this infection. You probably also know that there might be more dangerous infections on-board, too. Read more »

TitanCryptor Ransomware is the kind of malware that can destroy your personal files. Even though it only encrypts them – which, in theory, means that you should be able to decrypt them – recovering them has not been possible yet.
