GrujaRSorium Ransomware

GrujaRSorium Ransomware

Did GrujaRSorium Ransomware invade your Windows operating system? You are not supposed to know this right away, but once this infection encrypts files, it also displays a message that reveals the entire attack. The infection needs to remain undetected for the invasion and the encryption, so that you would not remove it before the attack is complete. It then needs to reveal itself, so that you would know that your files were encrypted and that you need to obey your attackers. Needless to say, Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers recommend being very cautious about what you do after your files are encrypted. If you continue reading, you will learn why interacting with the creators of the infection is a terrible idea, and you will learn how to delete GrujaRSorium Ransomware from the Windows operating system. We also discuss how this malware spreads, so that you could prevent similar infections from slithering in again.

Hence, if you want to remove Krypton Stealer from your computer, you have probably performed a full system scan already, and you know that you must terminate this infection. You probably also know that there might be more dangerous infections on-board, too. Read more »

.myjob File Extension Ransomware

.myjob File Extension Ransomware

When .myjob File Extension Ransomware slithers in and corrupts your personal files, it adds an additional extension to their original names: “id-{id}.[goodjob24@foxmail.com].myjob.” This extension includes a unique code that is given to every victim individually. It also includes an email address, about which we talk further in this report. Finally, it includes a final extension, “.myjob,” and this is where the name of the threat comes from. Needless to say, files are encrypted only after the malicious infection finds its way into an operating system. To slither in, its creator might employ misleading emails to trick victims into executing malware themselves. They could also exploit known vulnerabilities. In any case, when this infection slithers in, you will notice it. Besides attaching the unique extension to the corrupted files, it also creates files and launches a window to deliver a message. We suggest paying no attention to it because you need to focus on deleting .myjob File Extension Ransomware. Of course, note that your files will NOT be restored if you remove this malware.

Delphimorix Red Ransomware

Delphimorix Red Ransomware

Delphimorix Red Ransomware is a tremendously vicious infection, and it looks like it was created for the sole purpose of destroying Windows users’ files. Unlike most threats of this kind, it appears that it was not created to make any money for the attackers. Of course, a ransom price is set, but it is ridiculous. At the time of research, it was set at 999,999.5 Bitcoin, which is around 8,000,000,000 US Dollars. Needless to say, this is not the kind of money that anyone would be willing to give. Even multibillion dollar companies and governments could not cough up that much. It seems like the attackers just entered a random number without even expecting the ransom to be paid. Truth be told, even if the ransom was $10, we would not recommend paying it. Nonetheless, the risk would be much smaller. Even though there might be no point in discussing the demands of cyber criminals, we certainly need to discuss the removal of Delphimorix Red Ransomware. If you continue reading, you will learn how to delete this threat. Read more »
