It could be one of the darkest days in the history of your computer’s life when you find out that Zyklon Locker Ransomware has attacked it. This Trojan ransomware seems very much like another known infection called GNL Locker Ransomware. This malware encrypts your most important document, image, and program files, which can only be recovered if you get hold of the private password. You should know that there may be complications even if you are willing to pay the demanded ransom fee. Remember that you are dealing with crooks and there could be technical issues as well. Therefore, according to our malware specialists at anti-spyware-101.com, the only real solution in this serious attack is if you have a saved copy of your files on an external hard disk or pen drive. Otherwise, it is quite possible that you will never be able to recover your files. This may sound quite shocking for you, but you should not hesitate to act. We believe that you should delete Zyklon Locker Ransomware immediately if you want to protect your system. Read more »

It does not take long to realize that JohnyCryptor Ransomware has invaded your operating system because this malicious infection changes the background of your Desktop with an intimidating message after encrypting your personal files.

If you look at how this infection works and where it has originated from, it is easy to compare it with Saraswati Ransomware, also known as the Mahasaraswati Ransomware. Whichever one of these infections enters your operating system, you have to remove it as soon as possible.

Chances are that the creator of this malicious ransomware is located in India, but this could also be a trick to conceal the true location. Well, wherever these malicious malware distributors are located, they have developed the ransomware to get you. Some users rush to delete Saraswati Ransomware from their computers thinking that this is the only way to get their files decrypted. Unfortunately, that is not the case.
