If your operating system is not protected, SecretSystem Ransomware could slither in without any warning. Although this infection is most likely to be introduced to you as a harmless spam email attachment, other methods of distribution could be used as well. Obviously, you have to recognize the vulnerabilities of your operating system, so that you could attend to them. If you ignore these vulnerabilities, malware could slither into your PC again and again, and we are certain that is not what you want. Once the ransomware finds its way in, it should encrypt your files and disable you from using your computer in a normal manner. Because the threat locks the screen using its own window (the one with a yellow background), you might have a hard time assessing the damage, and that is very important. When Anti-Spyware-101.com malware analysts were researching this infection, they found that it did not encrypt files at all. Now, we cannot claim that the threat has not encrypted your personal files – because it certainly is capable of doing so – but you have to check that. Needless to say, regardless of the outcome, you need to delete SecretSystem Ransomware, and we are here to help you with this task. Read more »

You might detect VisionCrypt Ransomware on your computer one day even though it is not distributed actively, and, according to some researchers, might no longer be working at all.

Are you reading this article because you have already encountered this ransomware? If the answer is yes, go to delete this threat from your computer right now and do not even think about paying money to get files decrypted. We are against payments to ransomware creators because there are no guarantees that those locked files will be decrypted when they receive money.

To put it differently, transferring money to cyber criminals does not solve all problems. Read more »

Researchers have recently discovered a new malicious application that acts as ransomware - D2+D Ransomware. Unlike other infections of this type, this one does not currently encrypt any files, but its new version might be updated and start working properly. The version of D2+D Ransomware researchers working at anti-spyware-101.com have analyzed does not encrypt files but, instead, it tries to convince users that it is not a joke by opening a red window on Desktop. It tells users that their files have been encrypted and the only way to terminate ransomware is to purchase the key, enter it in the box located on the opened window, and click the “Unlock now!” button. Before you take action, go to check your files – there is a very huge possibility that they are fine. If so, there is no point in purchasing the key from cyber criminals. To be frank, you should not do that even if you find your files encrypted because there are no guarantees that you could unlock your files. First, you can get a useless key. Second, you might get nothing after sending the amount of money required. Even if you get a decryption key, ransomware will still stay active on your computer and might encrypt your files again at any time. Read more »

Compared with other file-encrypting applications, Ruby Ransomware does not appear to be so dangerous since the program is most likely still in the development stage. In other words, if the malware is distributed at all, its creators are probably doing so just to test how it works and learn how to improve it. Currently, it would seem the infection might fail to encrypt its targeted data as the version our researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com tested did not encipher a single file. If you encountered a variant that does not lock any data too, you can consider yourself lucky. In such case, we advise you to learn from this experience and strengthen your system as you may yet encounter more dangerous malicious software in the future.
