If your personal files were “locked” by LOCKED_PAY Ransomware, you might be thinking about following the instructions that were introduced to you by the creator of this infection. In fact, we do not really know if the attacker has also created the threat because it appears to have the code of the infamous Jigsaw Ransomware infection (just like Rodentia Ransomware, Bisquilla Ransomware, and other threats), and so it is possible that the attacker has simply used the code that was developed by the original creator. All in all, following the instructions by whoever is responsible for this malware is a bad idea. Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers warn that you are likely to waste your savings by following the demands that are delivered using a window launched by the threat. So, what are you supposed to do? Hopefully, you have backups that can replace the corrupted files, but if that is the case, we suggest that you delete LOCKED_PAY Ransomware before you move on. Read more »

Badday Ransomware can genuinely ruin your day if you do not back up your files. This malicious application is designed to encrypt your most precious data with a robust encryption algorithm. As a result, affected files cannot be recognized, and a computer becomes unable to launch them. It is possible to decrypt such data, but you would need a special decryption tool to unlock it, and, sadly, it is not an easy thing to come by a decryptor. Truth to be told, it is impossible in lots of cases as cybersecurity specialists are not always able to create free decryption tools for ransomware victims. As for the hackers behind the malware, they ask for a payment in return. Even if you have the needed sum, you should consider this offer carefully. To learn more about Badday Ransomware and why we do not think it would be wise to pay a ransom, you should continue reading this article.

You do not want your files to be encrypted by any infection, but especially not Seto Ransomware, because you might be unable to get them back. Although files are not deleted or moved, their data is changed so that they could be read only with a special decryptor. According to Anti-Spyware-101.com analysts, a free decryptor has been released by malware researchers, but this tool cannot decrypt all files or any files if they were not encrypted with an offline key. Basically, even though a decryptor exists, we cannot know for sure whether or not you would be able to have them decrypted. That, of course, does not mean that you are completely screwed. If you have backups of your personal files stored outside the infected computer, you should be able to use them as replacements for the corrupted ones. Hopefully, that is the scenario you are in, but we suggest replacing files only after you remove Seto Ransomware. After all, this is malware that cybercriminals have created, and you want it gone ASAP. Read more »

Do you think about your virtual security often? If you forget about it or ignore it completely, FTCODE Ransomware is one of the threats that could use an opportunity to slither in. Skipped updated, carelessness when downloading new files/software, interaction with random ads and links, inability to make the distinction between legitimate emails and spam emails could all lead to the invasion of dangerous malware. In the case of the clandestine ransomware, spam emails are most likely to be used for the execution. Note that cybercriminals can create misleading addresses, subject lines, messages, and attachments to trick you into thinking that the email is real and reliable. If you are tricked, the infection is executed, and the encryption of your personal files begins shortly. You cannot recover the files by deleting FTCODE Ransomware, but it is crucial that you remove this threat anyway, and the sooner you get to it, the better. Read more »

Kronos Ransomware shows a note through which the malware’s creators try to convince their victims to pay a ransom. In exchange, the hackers promise to send a decryptor that could decipher the threat’s affected files.

Even so, we would not recommend agreeing to pay a ransom if you do not want to risk losing your money in vain. It is possible because even if the cybercriminals have the promised recovery tools, it does not guarantee they will send them to you. In any case, it is up to you to decide what you should do. If you choose to eliminate Kronos Ransomware, we advise using the instructions available at the end of this article or a chosen antimalware tool. In case you want to get to know the threat better, we invite you to read our full article. Read more »
