Noblis Ransomware
Noblis Ransomware has nothing to do with being "noble"; in fact, this new dangerous threat can encrypt your files in a short time and render them useless. Of course, this ransomware is all about money, in particular, your money. You are given one day to pay the demanded ransom fee; or else, your files will remain inaccessible to you. However, our malware specialists at anti-spyware-101.com say that this ransomware seems to be still in development. Therefore, this version may not spread as widely as if it were finished. Still, it is important for us to inform you about our findings regarding this first version since it can destroy your files without the possibility of actually decrypting them. It is definitely no use paying the ransom fee because the address used in this version does not even work so it would be a total waste; not that it would be much help even if it worked. You should know that cyber criminals rarely deliver the decryption key or tool even after victims pay. We recommend that you remove Noblis Ransomware right away. Read more »

Cyclone Ransomware
If you still have time, you need to strengthen your system’s protection as soon as possible against a newly discovered infection, Cyclone Ransomware. If it has already slithered in and encrypted your files, we hope that your personal files were backed up in time because if they were not, most likely, they are now lost. Although the infection does not remove them, it encrypts them, and that is just as bad because decrypting them can be impossible. Of course, the cyber crook who has created this malware should have a decryption key, but there is no reason why they would give it to you. Naturally, you are asked a ransom in return for this key, but trusting malware operators is extremely risky, and it would be very surprising if you got the key after paying the ransom. Needless to say, Anti-Spyware-101.com research team does not recommend taking any risks when it comes to your savings. All in all, regardless of how you proceed, you must delete Cyclone Ransomware, and that is discussed thoroughly in this report. Read more »

Satan’s Doom Ransomware
Satan’s Doom Ransomware is a malicious program that encrypts user’s data and locks the screen by displaying a message illustrated with pictures from the Blizzard Entertainment game series called Diablo. In exchange for decrypting the user’s files the hackers who created the infection demand for a payment of $250. If the user does not manage to pay it in two days, these people threaten to double the price. Nonetheless, we advise you not to rush as you could later regret your choice. Keep it in mind; no one can guarantee the hackers will want to or will be able to decrypt your data. In other words, while you may keep up to your end of the deal the malware’s creators might not, and if this happens, you will lose transferred money in vain. This is why we encourage users not to put up with any demands and erase Satan’s Doom Ransomware with the instructions provided at the end of this report. Read more »
