Spectre Ransomware is a completely new infection that is not even in the wild yet. At the moment, it is not even known if this ransomware will be unleashed to invade unprotected Windows systems; however, that is always a possibility, and so we rush to inform you about this threat before it has invaded your own operating system. Needless to say, malware always invades those systems that are not protected appropriately and those that are controlled by careless users. Although there are ransomware infections that can be executed by silent worms, in most cases, they are camouflaged and enter systems as Trojan horses. For example, you might be tricked into opening a PDF file that, in reality, is the launcher of the infection. This PDF file might be sent to you in a spam email. Other methods of distribution can be used as well. Unfortunately, ransomware is very prevalent these days, and more and more users suffer silent invasions. If you look at the list of malware we have analyzed just recently, you will see quite a few ransomware infections, including TheDarkEncryptor Ransomware and Executioner Ransomware. While ALL of them must be deleted, this article specifically shows how to remove Spectre Ransomware. Read more »

CryMore Ransomware presents itself as a ransomware infection, but it differs from such typical ransomware infections as CryptoGod Ransomware, TheDarkEncryptor Ransomware, or Executioner Ransomware in a sense that it does not encrypt any files stored on affected computers. We do not know 100% whether it is still in development or the sample tested by specialists at anti-spyware-101.com was not working fully, but we are sure that, at the time of writing, this ransomware infection does not encrypt any files even though the window it opens for users on their Desktops claims that their all files have already been encrypted and they need to purchase a decryption tool to get them back. Strangely, no information about the payment is provided on this window, and users do not even know the price of the decryption tool. In other words, it is impossible to send cyber criminals money in exchange for the decryption tool. Because of this, our specialists believe that it is still in development or not working properly. Either way, remove CryMore Ransomware from your system without consideration and do not send cyber criminals a single cent. Read more »

TeslaWare Ransomware is a malicious threat that employs AES encryption algorithm to lock its targeted files. The hackers behind the malware give their victims seven days to pay a ransom of 0.425 BTC that is approximately one thousand euros, although it is uncertain if this is the real price since the infection’s window suggests the victim should transfer only 300 euros. Strangely, the accounts for transferring the money are different in the ransom note and the malicious application’s window too.
