If you are not careful about the security of your operating system, Scarab-Deep Ransomware might attack in a very clandestine way. It appears that the infection could use spam emails to expose gullible and careless users to the malicious launcher.

CryptoGod 2018 Ransomware is a ransomware infection our specialists have discovered recently. Even though it is capable of encrypting files, it should not evolve into a large malware campaign, according to specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com. They say that this infection could have been developed for educational purposes only, or it is still in development because it encrypted only one folder at the time of research: %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\test. We are sure there are not many users who have a folder named “test” on their Desktops, so even if they encounter it somehow, they should not find a single file encrypted on their computers. It does not mean that the ransomware infection can stay installed on the system if it has not locked data. There is a small possibility that it will get an update and then will start working as a normal ransomware infection, so it should be erased from the system as soon as possible. You should not find the CryptoGod 2018 Ransomware removal complicated at all because it is not one of those sophisticated malicious infections that not only drop files on affected computers, but also make significant changes in the system registry.
