Msop Ransomware is not the kind of threat that you would ever consider to be harmless. It does not try to disguise itself because that is not something that cybercriminals behind this malware need to do. Sure, they need to execute this malware silently, so that your personal files could be corrupted without disturbance, but once that is done, the threat needs to reveal itself. The purpose of this threat is to push victims into paying a ransom in return for a tool that, allegedly, could be used to decrypt files. Therefore, once files are corrupted, the infection immediately introduces you to a file named “_readme.txt.” We discuss the contents of this text file further in the report. We also discuss how the infection spreads, and how to keep your operating system protected against it in the future. Most important, we discuss how to delete Msop Ransomware, and we are almost certain that you have found this article because you already know just how important the removal of this threat is.

Did Dharma-Ninja Ransomware encrypt files on your operating system? You can determine that by looking at the names of your files and by trying to open them. The “.id-{ID}.[ninja777@cock.li].ninja” extension should be added to the names, and when you try to open the files, you should be unable to do it. The files become unreadable after encryption because the threat changes the data within. Unfortunately, you cannot click a button or use an existing program to change things back to normal. Once files are encrypted, they are likely to be encrypted for good. Of course, the attackers want you to believe that you can restore files using their decryption software. Can you? That is unlikely to be the case, and Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers are ready to explain why. We also can explain how to delete Dharma-Ninja Ransomware. Keep reading to learn more, and do not forget to post questions in the comments section below if you want to. Read more »

RSA Ransomware was created by hackers who want to extort money from their victims. Therefore, the malicious application was programmed to encrypt personal data and display a ransom note asking to pay for their decryption. While hackers may claim they will provide needed decryption tools right after they get their money, we would not rush to trust them. There is always a risk they may not bother delivering the promised tools or that they might ask for more money. Thus, the best way to restore your files would be using backup copies. Of course, not every user backups his files, in which case, encrypted data could be lost if a victim does not want to put up with hackers’ demands. Whatever is your decision, we recommend removing RSA Ransomware because it might be risky to leave it undeleted. To find out more about it as well as learn how to erase it, we invite you to continue reading. Read more »
