Wholocked Ransomware

Wholocked Ransomware

Wholocked Ransomware is the kind of infection that you are likely to remember for a long time if it manages to invade your Windows operating system even after you delete it. This threat is sneaky, and it can attack without you fully realizing it. According to our experts at Anti-Spyware-101.com, files attached to misleading spam emails and RDP vulnerabilities could be used to distribute the infection. If it is successful at invading your system, it should be able to encrypt all of your personal files. Unfortunately, that means that your documents, photos, videos, archives, and other personal files should become unreadable. The encryption key that this malware employs is unique, and free decryptors cannot crack it. Unfortunately, at the time of research, malware researchers had not built a working decryptor either. This means that the victims of this malware are stuck. Can you recover your files by removing Wholocked Ransomware? If only that were the case. While you must get rid of the infection, do not expect that your files will be restored afterward. Read more »

Maas Ransomware

Maas Ransomware

Maas Ransomware can cause a lasting headache if it finds a security crack, through which it can invade Windows operating systems. Unfortunately, cybercriminals behind ransomware are very quick, and they can adapt according to the conditions. This is why most of the file-encrypting threats have a very short lifespan. After the potential of an individual threat is exhausted, a new threat emerges. In most cases, it is just a clone that does not have any unique threats. This is the case with the Maas infection as well, which is a clone of Opqz Ransomware, Sqpc Ransomware, and hundreds of other threats alike. All of them are clones of STOP Ransomware, which is the predecessor. Quite likely, the same attacker is behind all of these threats. A free tool named ‘STOP Decryptor’ was built by malware researchers, but it is not always able to recognize new variants quickly enough, and it can only decrypt files encrypted with an offline key. While we hope that you can restore your files, what matters right now is that you delete Maas Ransomware. Read more »

Thenewstreams.com

If you have been exposed to Thenewstreams.com, you know that this website wants you to enable notifications and expose you to suspicious advertisements. While you can close the pop-up that requests to enable notifications as well as the ads that show up, you would face them again and again if you continued visiting the website. Unfortunately, some visitors of the website might be willing to put up with suspicious pop-ups just so that they could access the, allegedly, “Breaking News.” We can assure you that this website is not producing useful content. In fact, the news stories its shows are copied from legitimate and reputable news sources. While users are likely to figure that out quickly, they might be tricked into enabling notifications before that, and that leads to an avalanche of unwanted pop-ups.

Bmtf Ransomware

Bmtf Ransomware

Your personal files might be the most important files on your operating system, and Bmtf Ransomware knows it. This malicious infection is quick to identify and corrupt every single personal file on the computer as soon as it slithers in, and so it is most important that you keep the system safe. That is easiest to ensure with the help of a trusted anti-malware tool that is built to protect and delete threats as soon as they slither in. Unfortunately, if you install this tool after the invasion of the ransomware, your personal files will remain corrupted, and that is because the threat encrypts them. During encryption, a unique key is used to scramble the data within your files, after which only a decryptor can make them readable again. The good news is that, in some cases, cybersecurity experts are able to create their own decryptors. That is the case with this malware as well. Before you employ the decryptor, you need to delete Bmtf Ransomware, and this article was created to help you. Read more »

Helprecover@foxmail.com].help Ransomware

Helprecover@foxmail.com].help Ransomware is a dangerous infection, and it targets Windows operating systems that lack well-rounded protection, and whose owners are careless online. According to our Anti-Spyware-101.com research team, the infection is most likely to slither in if the target is tricked into opening a corrupted spam email attachment (which could be introduced along with a clever message) or if RDP vulnerabilities exist. While more and more Windows users get familiar with ransomware and how it works, some people get duped anyway, and they might be unable to tell when the infection got it. It is supposed to remain silent, so that your personal files could be encrypted without interference. Once your photos, documents, and other personal files are corrupted, the infection can introduce you to the demands of cybercriminals. Whatever you do, do not fulfill these demands without understating what is going on. If you want to learn about this and the removal of Helprecover@foxmail.com].help Ransomware, keep reading.
