Jcoder Ransomware

Jcoder Ransomware

Jcoder Ransomware is a malicious program that has been designed by cyber criminals to lock files on victims’ computers. According to researchers working at anti-spyware-101.com, this threat is still in development because it does not provide any contact information that could be used by victims to contact cyber criminals. On top of that, it does not demand a ransom even though ransomware infections are primarily used to extract money from computer users. Of course, we cannot promise that it will act the same in the future too. The chances are high that it will be updated one day and, if you encounter it at this time, you will be told to transfer a ransom to get your files unlocked. Although Jcoder Ransomware has not been finished yet, it already encrypts files using the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) cipher, so its entrance always has devastating outcomes. If it has successfully infiltrated your computer too, you will find a bunch of your files locked sooner or later as well. Free decryption software does not exist. It is impossible to purchase the decryptor from cyber criminals either (of course, we do not recommend doing this). Therefore, the chances are high that your files will stay encrypted. It does not mean that you can keep the ransomware infection active on your computer if you find it impossible to unlock your data. We will talk about the Jcoder Ransomware removal in detail in the last paragraph of this article. Read more »

Advance Doc Optimizer

If you desire to make your operating system run faster and better, you might be looking for a system optimizer. Well, you have careful because many of them are bogus or useless. Advance Doc Optimizer is not a security threat, and we cannot identify it as a completely fake or useless tool, but the fact is that its services are extremely overpriced, and you should look for a better alternative.

Exobuilder Ransomware

Exobuilder Ransomware

No doubt your files have been affected by Exobuilder Ransomware if they have the .exo extension appended and you see a black window claiming that you can no longer access your files because they have been encrypted on your Desktop. This window can be closed by killing the malicious process via Task Manager, but, unfortunately, it will not be so easy to unlock files encrypted by this ransomware infection. Yes, you will be told that you can unlock them by sending the indicated amount of money to the Bitcoin address provided, but you should not do that because you do not know whether those files will really be unlocked for you after you make a payment. Also, Exobuilder Ransomware will become a prevalent infection if all victims pay money to crooks behind it. It should be noted that the amount of money it asks from users might differ with every new version released. Most probably, there are many versions of this threat because it can be created with the Exo builder by any people having bad intentions. No matter which version of this ransomware infection you encounter, delete this threat from your system as soon as possible because it might encrypt even more files on your computer if you keep it active. Exobuilder Ransomware is not one of those sophisticated ransomware infections, but you will still need to put some effort into its removal if you decide to erase it manually, so we highly recommend reading this report till the end. If the manual method is not for you, you can eliminate the ransomware infection automatically right away. Read more »

Napoleon Ransomware

Napoleon Ransomware

Are you aware that spam emails can be used to spread malware? Napoleon Ransomware is one of the many infections that could slither into your operating system using this security backdoor. The bad thing is that this malware can enter your operating system in a clandestine manner, and you are unlikely to notice it at all. If you do not notice it, it can start acting in a malicious way without your intervention either. The main task for this dangerous threat is to encrypt your files, and it does that successfully using a complex algorithm. Although the infection does not encrypt system files, it can encrypt photos, media files, documents, and other kinds of personal data. The algorithm used by the ransomware cannot be cracked manually, and if your files are encrypted, they are likely to stay that way for good. That means that if your files are corrupted, they are corrupted, and there is nothing you can do to reverse that. That being said, you must delete Napoleon Ransomware, and that, luckily, is very easy to achieve. Read more »
