Mailrepa.lotos@aol.com Ransomware is yet another application whose purpose is to encrypt your most cherished personal files and offer you to purchase the decryptor to get them back.

Flyper Ransomware is one of the newest ransomware infections. Even though it is new, it does not mean that it differs from those ransomware infections that were released some time ago, e.g. CryptoRoger Ransomware and SATANA Ransomware. What we want to say here is that Flyper Ransomware has been developed by cyber criminals in order to make it easier for them to extort money from users. Cyber crooks are not dumb, and they know that users will not make a payment voluntarily. Therefore, they lock personal files, including important documents, theses, presentations, text files, music, videos, and other kinds of files and then offer users to buy the decryption key. At the time of writing, the price of the key that should decrypt files is 0.5 Bitcoin, which equals approximately $310. Our specialists understand that you might have valuable files that you need to get back; however, they still do not think that it is worth spending this amount of money on the decryption key which might not even be sent to you.

Cry Ransomware will probably make you want to cry when you realize what just hit you. This malware infection pretends to be an official strike against your files; at least, that is why the criminals behind it may use an official-looking logo on their website. This ransomware encrypts your files within a very short time frame and shocks you with its lengthy ransom note. Since there is no free decryption software available on the net as of yet, there is really no other way for you to save your files than paying the fee to these criminals; unless, of course, you have a recent backup copy of your files saved on an external hard disk of some sort. According to our malware specialists at anti-spyware-101.com, it is always risky to pay up because there is no guarantee that these crooks will really send you the private key and decryption tool. This is a hard decision for you to make. But, if you want to make sure that your PC is safe for you to use again, you should not hesitate to remove Cry Ransomware. Let us tell you in more detail how this dangerous threat can show up on your system and how you could protect your computer from similar infections. Read more »
