Masterlock@india.com Ransomware
If your computer has been infected with Masterlock@india.com Ransomware, you probably already know that it is a serious computer infection that encrypts files and then demands money for their recovery. As these files are encoded using the RSA-2048 encryption key, they will remain encrypted even after the ransomware infection is removed from the computer. Of course, there are users who decide to pay money to get a decryptor because they need to unlock their valuable files, e.g. theses, presentations, and documents; however, specialists at anti-spyware-101.com have a different opinion about transferring money to cyber criminals. They are strictly against any payments to cyber criminals because they know well that cyber crooks might not give the tool for decrypting files even if a user pays the amount of money they require. In other words, once they get what they wanted, they have no motivation to do what they promised. If you decide not to support them too, you still need to delete Masterlock@india.com Ransomware as soon as possible because it is capable of launching automatically, and you will never feel safe unless you get rid of it.
