Have you been tricked into letting Koti Ransomware into your Windows operating system? You might not even remember taking certain actions that could have led to the entrance of this malware. For example, do you remember opening a strange spam email attachment that failed to open properly or did not contain any information at all? Perhaps you remember downloading freeware from a suspicious website, and other files or programs were attached to it? Malicious programs have many ways to invade operating systems, and we cannot know which one was used to invade yours. Needless to say, if your system was infected by malware, you need to remove it, regardless of the damage it might have caused. Unfortunately, in the case of this ransomware, your personal files are the ones that get damaged. The threat encrypts them, which means that you cannot read them normally. Your first instinct might be to delete Koti Ransomware, and while eliminating this malware is crucial, your files cannot be saved by doing that. Read more »

In this article we talk about a dangerous Trojan infection called Volgmer. It can both secretly collect various data and place more malicious applications on your device. Naturally, the longer the malware stays on a computer the more trouble it can cause. Therefore, it is advisable to eliminate Volgmer right away.

Do you believe that C4H Ransomware has invaded your Windows operating system and corrupted your personal files? That is very easy to figure out because once this infection encrypts files, it attaches the “.C4H” extension to their names. This extension is added as a mere marker, and even if you delete it from the files’ names, they will not be restored. Some victims might rush to remove C4H Ransomware to restore their files, and while this threat must be eliminated from the infected systems, the files cannot be recovered in that way. In fact, we do not know if your files can be recovered at all. Perhaps you can find and employ a legitimate third-party decryptor, but you certainly do not want to trust cybercriminals to help you. They promote their own decryptor in return for money, but they are unlikely to give you anything once you send the payment. Needless to say, this is a tricky situation, but we hope that we will be able to help you untangle the mess. Read more »

Sqpc Ransomware does not care about you and your files, and that is why it slithers into your Windows operating system and encrypts every single personal file that exists. It does not touch system files, but that is done only to ensure that the system continues running normally. After all, the infection needs a functional system to make its demands. After your personal files are encrypted, the threat drops a file, via which you are informed that a ransom of $490 must be paid in return for a decryptor. Here at Anti-Spyware-101.com, we hope that you have not wasted your savings yet. We also hope that you still can recover your files, or at least replace the most important ones. A tool named ‘STOP Decryptor’ was presented by malware researchers, and although it should decrypt all files encrypted with an offline key, it cannot guarantee full recovery of all files. But you might be able to use backups as replacements. First, however, you need to remove Sqpc Ransomware. Read more »

The infection attacks silently, and most victims are unlikely to pinpoint the moment of the attack. Unfortunately, when it comes to ransomware, in most cases, victims are the ones who let malware in.

It also could be camouflaged as a document or a photo file in a misleading spam email. Do you remember downloading or opening any files recently? If you do, you might figure out the source of the infection. Hopefully, you will become more cautious in the future. Right now, however, you might need to delete Trix Ransomware from your Windows operating system. If you are worried about the removal of the threat and the decryption of files, we are ready to help you. Read more »
