Guster Ransomware is a harmful malicious application that works just like other ransomware infections in order to extort money from people. As research has shown, it is another threat based on the engine of HiddenTear, which is known to be an open-source ransomware infection. Since it is based on the engine of this ransomware, it is clear that it uses the AES-256 encryption algorithm. It is a strong cipher used to lock users’ personal files stored on the computer. Files are not the only ones that will be locked if this ransomware infection sneaks onto the computer. This computer infection also opens a screen-locking window with a threatening message right after the successful entrance. You will see a flashing message there and a spinning skull at the bottom of the window. On top of that, the first sentence of the ransom note left to users will be played as spoken words. As can be seen, it does not try to hide the fact that it is already inside the computer, so it should not take long to realize that Guster Ransomware is the one performing activities on your system.

Levis Locker is a threat that has been categorized as a ransomware infection. Levis Locker Ransomware differs from similar ransomware infections in a sense that it does not encrypt users’ files stored on the computer. Of course, it still causes problems. The first symptom that you have encountered this dangerous infection is the presence of the screen-locking window covering Desktop. It is said there that this has been done due to “illegally activity online.” Ignore the message you see on this window because it is shown to you just to scare you into paying money. Believe us; your screen would not be locked even if you really did something bad. Therefore, your main focus now should be on the deletion of the ransomware infection existing on your computer.

It is not your fault that you cannot access media and other valuable files. Most probably, Supermagnet@india.com Ransomware has entered the computer illegally and performed the encryption of data using the AES-256 cipher. There is no doubt that it is the one responsible for a bunch of locked files if your files now have a new filename extension .{Supermagnet@india.com} next to their original filename extensions (e.g. .jpg, .doc, and .pdf). Supermagnet@india.com Ransomware is a new member of the family using “india.com” in their emails, so, even though it is a new threat, it does not differ much from previously released ransomware infections (e.g. Help_you@india.com Ransomware, Melme@india.com Ransomware, and Ramachandra7@india.com Ransomware) belonging to this wide family. As in the case of those older threats, specialists at anti-spyware-101.com say that it is a really bad idea to keep Supermagnet@india.com Ransomware on the computer, so go to delete it the second you discover it on your system. Users who decide to ignore this problem might find their new files encrypted soon. On top of that, the ransom note it leaves for users could not be removed from Desktop since this computer infection creates an entry in the Run registry key so that it can launch automatically when the Windows OS loads up. As a consequence, the only way to disable it forever is to delete this threat fully from the computer. Read more »
