Globe2 Ransomware, as its name may suggest, is the new version of Globe Ransomware that first appeared last year, in 2016. Although this ransomware program can encrypt hundreds of file extensions and cause severe devastation on your system, just like in the case of the first version, you can actually decrypt your files using a free tool. But this should not mislead you to think that you can take this threat lightly; it is still a dangerous ransomware threat that needs to be taken care of immediately. On the other hand, if you are not an experienced or advanced computer user, we do not even recommend that you yourself try to find this free decryption tool or use it, either. It is best to find a computer savvy friend or even a professional to help you with that. In any case, our malware specialists at anti-spyware-101.com say that you should remove Globe2 Ransomware as soon as possible. Read more »

Ransommine Ransomware is probably one of the strangest ransomware infections as this new threat does not try to swindle you and demand a ransom fee in exchange for the decryption tool or key. Our malware experts say that this dangerous program appears to come from "playful" cyber gangsters who instruct you to play a certain game for an hour to get your files decrypted. What's more, if you have this game installed, it may well save your files from encryption altogether. No matter how funny or playful this may sound, we are still talking about a dangerous threat since your files may actually remain encrypted and thus inaccessible for you. Hopefully, you have a backup in cloud or on a portable device so that you can use your clean files to restore them in case your gaming would not eventually result in the decryption of your files. We suggest that you do not hesitate to remove Ransommine Ransomware from your computer after noticing it. Read more »

Crypt888 Ransomware, also known as Mircop Ransomware, first surfaced in the middle of 2016 and our malware experts at anti-spyware-101.com saw it again in March, 2017. We cannot say that it is still attacking users; however, we have found that this threat is available as an open-source program on the dark net. This simply means that it is only a matter of time when new versions start to appear spreading on the web. Although this ransomware used to be able to cause proper devastation encrypting your most important files, not long after it emerged, malware hunters also came out a free decryption tool. This means that if you have infected your computer with this older version, chances are you can still decrypt your files. However, if new variants hit the web, we cannot guarantee this. This is why it is always a good idea to save a backup of your more important files.
