Darus Ransomware is the kind of threat that can make your life miserable. This infection encrypts files, and if you do not have backups stored outside the infected system, you are unlikely to recover them. That means that if this infection slithers in, it might successfully destroy your personal files, so to speak. To drop the infection onto your operating system without your notice, its creator is likely to set up misleading emails with fake attachments or exploit RDP vulnerabilities. If you do not detect and remove Darus Ransomware right away, it starts its malicious attack not long after. First, it disables the Task Manager to make it impossible for you to terminate malicious processes and then delete the infection. Also, the threat drops files that can encrypt files, mimic a fake Windows updates screen, and even disable the Windows Defender. Without a doubt, this infection is strong enough to make a lasting impact. If you want to learn about erasing the threat, the recovery of files, and the security of your system, please keep reading.

Ims00ry Ransomware is a dangerous computer infection that should be taken seriously. This program will encrypt target files to collect ransom payments from the affected users. Needless to say, you need to keep that money to yourself because there is no guarantee that the infection would issue the decryption key in the first place. You don’t even need to buy it because a public decryption tool is available. Thus, you just need to scroll down to the bottom of this entry for the manual removal instructions to remove Ims00ry Ransomware for good, and then fortify your system against similar threats.

You must not postpone the removal of the malicious paydra@cock.li Ransomware if it has invaded your operating system. Unfortunately, your files would not be decrypted if you did that. At the time of research, decrypting files was not possible as third-party tools did not exist. Of course, there is the option of paying the ransom requested by the attackers, but our research team does not advise wasting your money. Anti-Spyware-101.com research team has analyzed basecrypt@aol.com Ransomware, bestdecoding@cock.li Ransomware, and hundreds of other infections – many of which belong to the Crysis family (also known as Dharma) – and we can tell you right away that cyber criminals’ promises are mostly empty. If you think you can sway them into giving you the decryptor for free, you might decide to send them a message, but you cannot do that carelessly. You can learn more about it by reading this report. Of course, our main incentive is to show you how to delete paydra@cock.li Ransomware. Read more »

Do not wait to remove the malicious Herad Ransomware once you determine that that is the infection that slithered into your operating system and encrypted your personal files. Your photos, work documents, home videos, and other personal data can be affected by this malicious infection. Once they are encrypted, they cannot be opened because the data is changed. To change it back, you need a decryptor, and the attackers are ready to offer one, but that does not mean that you should do as told. In fact, you should never follow the instructions or fulfill the demands of cyber criminals. All they want is your money, and they are ready to tell you anything to get it. Basically, if you pay the ransom that is requested in return for a decryptor, we predict that you will not get it. So, what should you do to recover your personal files? You will not restore files by deleting Herad Ransomware or the extension appended by this malware, but a free decryptor should help you. Read more »

Rodentia Ransomware is the kind of malware that can instantly ruin your day. If it finds a security crack through which it can slither into your operating system, it might be able to encrypt your personal files. At the time of research, our analysts working in the Anti-Spyware-101.com internal lab did not see the threat encrypting files, but it was found that it is a modified version of the well-known Jigsaw Ransomware, and so it is possible that it could encrypt files successfully. Maybe a bug exists, and maybe it will be fixed in no time. Maybe the infection will remain helpless. In any case, if this infection got into your operating system, it is a good idea to delete it as soon as possible. If you keep reading this guide, you will learn how to remove Rodentia Ransomware, and, hopefully, you will also learn how to secure your operating system and, most important, your personal files against threats that could try to attack in the future.

When Adame Ransomware attacks the operating system, it starts encrypting files right away, and then once that is done, the “.id[unique code].[supportcrypt2019@cock.li].Adame” extension should be visible. This extension is added to the encrypted files’ names, and this serves no other purpose than to identify the corrupted files. This makes it easier to see which files were corrupted, and while that does not help with decryption, it certainly can help assess the situation overall. If you have backups stored externally or online, you can check them to see if the corrupted files have backup replacements. We hope that that is the case because, unfortunately, decrypting the files corrupted by this malware appears to be impossible. If you come across a tool that promises to decrypt files, make sure you are cautious because you do not want to let in new infections, do you? Handling and deleting Adame Ransomware might be difficult enough as it is. So, do you know how to remove this infection? Read more »

If you can find the “.ExpBoot” extension attached at the end of your files’ names, ExpBoot Ransomware must have found a way to invade your operating system. Anti-Spyware-101.com research team has tested this infection in an internal lab, but it was not possible to determine a singular pathway into a system. It is possible that the infection could use different distribution techniques (via spam email, RDP backdoors, malware downloaders, or unreliable websites), but it is also possible that one specific method would be used. At this moment, however, that is unclear. We also cannot promise that the infection will not encrypt files in the future, which is what it claims to be capable of doing now. In reality, this infection does not encrypt files, and, instead, simply adds an alien extension to the files’ names to make sure that you cannot open them. Unfortunately, this could trick some victims into thinking that encryption has happened. Right now, however, if you delete ExpBoot Ransomware and remove the added extension, your files will be “restored.” Read more »

REvil Ransomware is a computer infection that will try to push you into spending your money on a decryption key. This decryption key is supposedly necessary to restore your encrypted files. Although that is the common path of action when it comes to ransomware infections, computer security experts always maintain that paying for the decryption key is not the best choice. Users should remove REvil Ransomware instead without giving these criminals what they want. Scroll down to the bottom of this entry for the manual removal instructions. If necessary, get yourself a legitimate security tool to perform a full system scan. Read more »

Zero-Fucks Ransomware is a relatively new infection that was recently analyzed by our malware research team at Anti-Spyware-101.com. In fact, it is so new that it does not even work properly yet. The bad news is that it is already capable of encrypting files, and it could even spread successfully. The only thing that is missing is a functional ransom payment system. At the moment, when the threat delivers the ransom note, there is not enough information regarding the payment, and the displayed buttons – which, we assume, are correlated to the payment – do not work. These issues could have been resolved by the time you are reading this, and our team will issue an update if anything new is discovered. For now, however, we are dealing with a file-encryptor that does not function the right way. Of course, if it has invaded your operating system, you need to delete it regardless of the situation. Should you pay the ransom before removing Zero-Fucks Ransomware if that is possible? Continue reading to find out. Read more »
