Pickles Ransomware
If you have not taken care of your operating system’s protection, all kinds of malicious infections could invade it. Pickles Ransomware is one of the most destructive threats that you could face. Although it does not damage your computer and it does not remove system files, it can permanently encrypt your personal files, such as photos or important documents. Although the creator of this ransomware provides its victims with an opportunity to decrypt their files, it is extremely risky to get involved and trust their promises. Unfortunately, it does not look like there is a way to decrypt the files in another way. The thing is that once your files are encrypted using the AES encryption algorithm, only a special decryption password can help you out. Where is this password? It is probably stored on some remote server. How can you get it? At the moment, the only way to get it is by following the instructions presented by cyber criminals, and that, as we mentioned already, is extremely risky. Keep reading to learn all about the situation and how to delete Pickles Ransomware. Read more »

Fadesoft Ransomware
Fadesoft Ransomware might show a warning demanding to pay the cyber criminals who created this malicious program in about 96 hours. The payment could be asked in exchange for a decryption key that is needed to unlock data encrypted by this malware.
