A new ransomware infection that shares similarities with Cryakl Ransomware has been detected by cyber criminals. It is called Fairy Tail Ransomware because it appends a long string with .fairytail at the end to all encrypted files. Yes, this malicious application is another crypto-threat that mercilessly locks files on victims’ computers. Researchers working at anti-spyware-101.com have observed that the quality of this ransomware infection is low, so it is not very likely that it will become very prevalent; however, a new polished version might be developed in the near future, so users should not leave their systems unprotected, specialists say. Fairy Tail Ransomware cannot be considered prevalent, but it does not mean that users cannot encounter it. Have you already encountered this infection? If yes, you must delete it from your computer right away. If you do nothing about its presence, it is only a question of time when it locks more files on your system because it creates an entry in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run so that it could continue doing its dirty job after the system restart. In other words, the Value it creates allows it to start working on system startup. The removal of this ransomware infection will not be very easy since it not only makes modifications in the system registry, but also copies itself to %TEMP%, but if you read this report before you go to erase this infection, you should manage to delete it manually.

If you have found your personal files with the .creeper extension, this is an indication that Creeper Ransomware has entered your system. This threat is a typical ransomware-type infection whose only purpose is to make users pay money to cyber criminals. Because of this, it mercilessly locks files on victims’ computers once it infiltrates them. This threat does not ask permission to enter users’ PCs and make changes on them, but it does not hide either, so you will discover that your files have a new extension and can no longer be accessed soon. To tell you the truth, we cannot promise that you could unlock these files because free decryption software is not available. Purchasing a decryption key from cyber criminals behind this ransomware infection is not an option either. Never pay money to cyber criminals because they only want your money. Consequently, they might forget their promises to you the second they get what they want, i.e. your money. No matter what your final decision is, you must delete the ransomware infection as soon as possible. Specialists say that Creeper Ransomware is not one of those infections that start working on system startup, but if you ever open its launcher, it will start working again and your all new files will become encrypted in no time.
