As the world is busy while trying to fight the Coronavirus (COVID-19), hackers are creating threats like Coronavirus Ransomware. This malicious application encrypts its victim’s files with a robust encryption algorithm and then displays a note saying that he has to pay to get decryption tools. Our researchers say that the malware could be spread through unreliable websites or messages. Thus, unlike the actual Coronavirus that spreads from person to person, Coronavirus Ransomware does not travel from one infected computer to another. If you want to learn more about it, we invite you to read our full article. Also, at the end of it, you can find out prepared deletion instructions that show how you could erase this malware manually. However, we should stress that it might be safer to leave this task to a legitimate antimalware tool. Read more »

If you let Btos Ransomware in, it will wreck your personal files. While some infections are able to steal, wipe, or remove files, this infection encrypts them. That means that the data within the files is changed so that the files themselves become unreadable. To put it simply, the infection hijacks your files, and it does not need to release them. The attackers behind the infection claim that files can be restored with the help of a decryptor that victims can purchase from them; however, that does not mean that the attackers would keep their promise to present the tool once the money landed in their pockets. According to the Anti-Spyware-101.com research team, victims of this malware are unlikely to find relief by paying the ransom, which is why we DO NOT recommend paying it. The good news is that victims might not need to take the risk of paying the ransom at all. To learn about this, as well as how to delete Btos Ransomware, you should continue reading the report.

Topi Ransomware is one of those infections that were created to mess with your private files. If it enters your operating system successfully, it is meant to encrypt photos, documents, media files, archives, and all other kinds of private files that are likely to mean a lot to you. Once encrypted, these files cannot be opened normally because the data is changed. That, however, does not mean that they are completely destroyed. If you can obtain a decryptor, it should restore the files back to normal. The problem is that the attackers are unlikely to provide you with a decryptor, and the free decryptor (STOP Decryptor) created by malware researchers might not work for you. Obviously, you do not need to worry about the recovery of files if you have backup copies, in which case, all you need to do is remove the corrupted files and replace them with copies. In any case, the first thing you need to do is delete Topi Ransomware. Read more »
