If Blackout Ransomware enters your system, you might lose most of your personal data. The malicious application is a file-encrypting threat that locks photographs, images, videos, text documents, and other data created or placed by the user. The files should be enciphered with a secure cryptosystem, so to decrypt them you would need a decryption key and a decryptor. Unfortunately, these tools are available only to the cyber criminals who developed Blackout Ransomware. They may try to convince you to purchase them for a particular sum of Bitcoins, but you should keep in mind there are no guarantees they can or will keep up to their promises. Thus, we urge users not to trust the hackers and simply get rid of the malware. For this reason, our researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com have prepared deletion instructions available at the end of the text, but before scrolling below, you should read more about the threat to learn how to avoid it next time.

CryptoMix Ransomware is a severe threat to your personal files if any of the variants of this vicious program manages to sneak onto your system. Our malware specialists say that this ransomware has become a growing family as several new variants have emerged on the web lately, such as Exte Ransomware, Zayka Ransomware, and Azer Ransomware. This ransomware can encrypt more than 850 file extensions, which means that you can lose most of your files in this malicious attack. Although some of the variants have already been hacked by malware hunters, and some free tools have appeared on the web to help victims restore their files, we cannot say this about the latest versions yet. Therefore, it is quite likely that you will have to say goodbye to your files unless you have a backup copy somewhere safe and preferably not connected to your PC. We would never advise you to pay the ransom fee to get the decryption key or tool because no one can guarantee that this will happen at all. What we can tell you out of experience is that cyber criminals rarely keep their promise. Even if they send you something for your money, it could be yet another malicious hit. Thus, we highly recommend that you remove CryptoMix Ransomware from your computer. Read more »

However, such means of “retribution” are highly questionable, as it is obvious that the program has been created by cyber criminals. The criminals have been intercepted, and you need to remove RobinHood Ransomware from your system if you happen to have this infection on-board. Read more »
