Windows users who live in Korea need to be extremely cautious about RansomAES Ransomware. If it finds its way in, it can silently encrypt the most personal and important files, and the worst part is that chances of full recovery are very slim.

Nransom Ransomware has been categorized as ransomware, but it slightly differs from ordinary ransomware infections, we have to say. Surprisingly, it does not want users’ money. It locks victims’ screens and then asks them to send 10 nude pictures instead. Do not even think about doing this – you could remove the opened screen from your Desktop yourself even though it does not have X in the top-right corner and cannot be resized or moved. Unlike a bunch of other ransomware infections researchers working at anti-spyware-101.com analyze every day, it does not encrypt a single file on the system. As mentioned, it only opens a window with a message and a picture of the fictional character Thomas the Tank Engine. Because of this, this threat is called a screenlocker. You cannot leave this threat active on your computer even if you have managed to access your Desktop – it is only a question of time when you will find it opened again. The removal of Nransom Ransomware should not be very complicated if you follow our manual removal guide provided right below this paragraph. Read more »

Spartacus Ransomware has been developed by cyber criminals seeking to obtain money from users. It is a newly-discovered infection, but it does not differ much from these older threats categorized as ransomware. To be more specific, you could no longer access the majority of your files if this infection ever slithers onto your computer because it will mercilessly encrypt them all the first thing after the successful entrance. Specialists at anti-spyware-101.com have thoroughly analyzed Spartacus Ransomware to find out how it acts once it infiltrates users’ computers, and it has become clear that it immediately encrypts all popular formats of pictures and documents it finds on affected computers. Without a doubt, this infection has been developed by cyber criminals and is used by them as a tool to obtain money from users. You will be told that you can only unlock your files by paying for decryption in Bitcoin, and this might be true, but it does not mean that you should transfer money to cyber criminals. In some cases, it is better to lose files than give crooks what they want. Of course, you are the only one who can decide what to do, but you should keep in mind that you might not get the decryptor from them. Additionally, it would be very naive to expect that they will not continue developing new harmful infections when they realize that they can really extract money from users quite easily with the help of the malicious application.
