Scarab-Oblivion Ransomware will not miss a chance to lock data on your computer if it ever manages to enter your system. This infection has been designed to extract money from users, so it will surely lock all your valuable files on your PC if it finds a way to affect it. Ransomware infections usually lock victims’ documents and almost all media files. In some cases, they notice that they can no longer access certain programs too because .exe files get encrypted as well. It is hard to say whether Scarab-Oblivion Ransomware will lock all your personal files or not, but we are sure that the majority of them will be no longer accessible. We know there are files you need to access badly among them, but we cannot let you send money to malicious software developers. There are two simple reasons for this. First, you do not know whether cyber criminals will really unlock your files or at least will give you the tool to do this yourself. Second, do you really expect them to stop developing brand new threats when they get all they want? Yes, we think so too. We leave the final decision in your hands, but there is one thing you must do no matter what – delete Scarab-Oblivion Ransomware from your system fully as soon as possible. As long as it stays installed, you might discover even more encrypted files on your computer. It does not start working on system startup, but you might launch it accidentally yourself, and then it will start searching for new files to encrypt again. Read more »

Have you been introduced to the ransom note of Jabacrypter Ransomware? If you have, this infection has slithered into your operating system and encrypted your personal files. It is unlikely that it has encrypted your system files, but if that has happened, some of the programs installed on your PC might crash, and your computer might be running disorderly. All in all, ransomware infections usually go after personal files, just because the victims are more likely to want to recover them.

If you pay the ransom, the crooks will take your money, but they are unlikely to help you in return. The promise is that all files would be decrypted if you paid the ransom, but the creator of the threat might be willing to tell you anything just to get your money. We discuss this more in the report, but we focus on the removal of the infection. If you wish to delete Jabacrypter Ransomware too, keep reading. Read more »
