Holycrypt Ransomware looks like an unfinished business; yet, if this ransomware attacks your system, you can probably say goodbye to all your files. Of course, if you are a security-minded computer user, you regularly make backups of your most important files, which would come in handy in this situation to be able to restore them. After managing to infiltrate your computer, it encrypts all your documents, photos, videos, music files, archives, and third-party program files in just a few seconds. This means that before you could realize what you have done by running this malicious file, your files become unusable, i.e., encrypted with a serious algorithm. The biggest problem and danger with this ransomware is that it does not give you a chance to transfer the ransom fee and buy the decryption key. We do not claim that otherwise these criminals would really keep their promise because experience shows that they rarely do. All traits surrounding this infection indicate that this could be a test run before the big hit. In any case, our malware specialists at anti-spyware-101.com suggest that you remove Holycrypt Ransomware immediately if you want to restore your machine. Read more »

Have you paid the fee requested by Bart Ransomware developers, but your personal files are still locked? Unfortunately, this is a risk that every user who chooses to follow the demands faces. The problem is that many users do not see another option. The ransomware silently corrupts personal files by adding every single one of them to a unique password-protected ZIP archive. In order to access the file corrupted by this threat, you need the password, and the only way to get it – at this point – is by paying the ransom. Having said that, paying the ransom is the last thing we recommend because you might lose your money for no good reason. On top of that, the ransom requested by this threat is ridiculously big, and it is questionable if many users would be capable of paying it even if they wanted to. We are sure that you want to delete Bart Ransomware from your operating system right now, but the situation is not that simple, and the removal of malware is not something that fixes the problem.

If Mircop Ransomware hits your computer, there is a good chance that you lose all your precious photos, videos, and documents unless, of course, you have a backup copy on a removable drive. Not “only” does this vicious ransomware encrypt your files, but it may also steal personal information from you. The only chance for you to recover your files is to pay the uniquely high ransom fee. But we cannot confirm that you will actually get the private key that is needed for you to decrypt your files. It is more likely that you will never hear about these criminals again after transferring the ransom fee. Since this is a severe threat to your computer and your privacy, we recommend that you delete Mircop Ransomware immediately. In order to learn more about the risks and possible ways to avoid this ransomware, please continue reading our report. Read more »
