Anti-spyware 101

If Salsa Ransomware manages to infiltrate your system, you can probably lose all your personal files in this malicious attack when you do not have a backup. We keep emphasizing the importance of regularly saving your files to a cloud storage place or a portable disk. As a matter of fact, it is safer if you backup your files onto a drive that is only connected to your PC while you are transferring data because some of the ransomware infections are capable of stealing information from you and access your cloud accounts to take your files hostage there, too. Of course, you are offered a way out if you are ready to pay a certain amount to have your files automatically decrypted. But there is never any guarantee that you will really get the decryption key, a tool, or your files will just “magically” decipher themselves. Since this is a dangerous threat to your computer and your personal files, we recommend that you remove Salsa Ransomware immediately after you are informed of its devastating job. Read more »

File Security Protected Ransomware, also known as Fake WindowsUpdater Ransomware, is a computer infection that you, without a doubt, do not want to find on your computer. It is because this infection is one of those threats which encrypt files after the successful entrance thus making it impossible to access a lot of different files. Although File Security Protected Ransomware has been developed to encrypt users’ files and make users pay money for the “private key”, users who encounter it these days might find their files intact, specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com say. It is because the C&C server of this ransomware infection is down, and it only launches a window with a ransom note but does not lock any files. This might change soon, so delete File Security Protected Ransomware as soon as possible if you ever detect it on your computer. Since this ransomware-type infection is not as sophisticated as some other popular threats, e.g. Btcware Ransomware, Kirk Ransomware, and Karmen Ransomware, it should not be a problem to delete it, but, of course, we recommend reading this article first before taking action.

If the malicious Kampret Ransomware has invaded your operating system, your personal files are now likely to have the “.lockednikampret” extension appended to them. This indicates that the file was encrypted, and, unfortunately, you cannot decrypt it yourself. The infection encrypts the targeted files – such as photos, media files, and documents – using the AES encryption algorithm, and you need a special decryption key to unlock them. So, how do you get this key? Unfortunately, it is in the hands of the cyber criminals who have created the devious ransomware. Can you convince them to just give this key to you? It seems like you cannot because the infection was created to coerce you into paying money for it, and so you are expected to open your wallet. Regrettably, we cannot guarantee that you would be able to decrypt all of the corrupted files even if you paid the ransom. Whether or not you follow the instructions of cyber criminals and get your files back, deleting Kampret Ransomware is crucial, and you can continue reading to learn how to get rid of this malicious threat.
