Anti-spyware 101

If you do not take care of your operating system, 0day Ransomware could slither in and destroy your personal files. Although this infection does not remove them, it locks them up. The threat encrypts them using a unique encryption key, and, as a result of that, the files cannot be read. Unfortunately, only a unique decryption key can “unlock” your files, and we cannot provide you with it. A free decryptor that would work did not exist at the time of research either. If you find a tool that claims to restore your files, make sure you research it first because you do not want to let in more threats by accident. All in all, the only ones who appear to have the decryptor are the creators of the infection, and they are unlikely to let it go, even if you agree to all of their conditions. We talk more about that in this report. Of course, we want to focus on deleting 0day Ransomware, and if you too want to eliminate this malware from your Windows operating system, please continue reading. Read more »

HACK Ransomware might be the reason why you cannot access your files. It can be recognized from a particular extension that it appends to its encrypted data. For example, in our case, the files on a test computer got marked with .id-B4501087.[mr.hacker@tutanota.com].HACK, e.g., document.docx.id- B4501087.[mr.hacker@tutanota.com].HACK. Data that has this extension should become unusable as the malicious application enciphers it with a strong cryptosystem. Therefore, the only way to reaccess it is to get a decryptor from the hackers behind the malicious application. Since the hackers will most likely ask for a payment, you should know the money could be lost for nothing, if you get scammed. Thus, even if it looks like it might be your only option, we recommend considering it carefully. To learn more about HACK Ransomware and how you can get rid of it, we advise reading the rest of our article. Read more »

Godzilla Loader is a tool that can be used in ransomware distribution. The presence of such tools on the market shows that we have to be really considerate about our system and network safety. Also, Trojan infections are hard to discern when they don’t have a graphic user’s interface, which leaves us with regular system scans as the ultimate necessity. If you do not detect and remove Godzilla Loader at once, your network might get infected with a dangerous ransomware program that could virtually destroy your file library. To prevent that, you have to take good care of your cybersecurity. Read more »

All Windows users need to listen up. Mogera Ransomware is on the loose, and it could go after your personal files next. This malicious infection was created by cyber criminals, who are interested in one thing and one thing only, which is to make money. Unfortunately, unlike the rest of us, these criminals are not willing to earn their money in an honest way. Instead, they turn to illicit activity. Unfortunately, ransomware infections are usually very lucrative because they can be used to encrypt personal files, after which, the victims might believe that they have no other option but to follow the instructions and pay the ransom. If it is the threat we are discussing in this report that encrypted your personal files, you are in luck because a free decryptor called “Stop Decrypter” already exists, and so there is no need to pay any attention to the demands made by the attackers. Unfortunately, that is not very common, and so if you do not want to face a more destructive file-encryptor in the future, you need to think about your virtual security. First, let’s delete Mogera Ransomware. Read more »

There is a new player in town, and it is called Bisquilla Ransomware. At this point, the infection is still in development stages, but, according to our Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers, we could see new versions emerging in the near future. This first version does not create any demands, and it does not encrypt files like most ransomware infections, but it has the function to encrypt them and add the “.wrk” extension to their original names. Obviously, if you have found this extension attached to your personal files, you have to consider the possibility that you need to eliminate a malicious threat from your operating system. However, we hope that you are reading this report before the attacks of this malware begin, so that you could secure your operating system and personal files against it. Obviously, if new versions emerge, we will be updating our readers as soon as possible so that they could delete Bisquilla Ransomware, but, for now, we only have limited information, and the focus of this report is virtual security.

DDT Ransomware is a malicious ransomware infection, and it comes with the intention to rip you off. Ransomware programs are really good at scaring users into paying the ransom fees. DDT Ransomware and other similar infections make the impression that the only way to recover affected files is by paying the ransom fee.

Needless to say, you should keep your money to yourself. Paying the ransom may not even solve the problem. You need to remove DDT Ransomware first, and then look for other ways to restore your data. If you find yourself at your wit’s end, do not hesitate to address a professional. Read more »

Stop whatever you are doing and figure out how to secure your Windows operating system. A new file-encrypting threat named INPIVX Ransomware was found, and, according to Anti-Spyware-101.com research team, its source code is currently being sold to anyone who is interested. That means that we could soon encounter a bunch of different variants of this malware. While these variants should function in the same way – which we discuss further in the report – the identifying features should be unique. That is because when building the threat using the available code, the attacker can choose any name. If clones of the dangerous infection emerge in the future, we will report them as soon as possible. Right now, however, it is most important to reinforce Windows protection and to secure all personal files because it is unlikely that it will be possible to restore them after the attack. If you already need to delete INPIVX Ransomware, it might be time for you to install an automated anti-malware program. Read more »

Kedi RAT is an old computer infection that first came into light in 2017. It is a remote access Trojan, and as such, it can collect sensitive information on the infected system, and then transfer that information to its C&C.

Trojan.DarktrackRAT is a malicious infection that was released a few years ago, but we believe that it could be used as a base for other RAT types of malware, and thus it is necessary to discuss it. As you can clearly tell from its name, this Trojan is a Remote Access Trojan. It means that it can perform a number of actions on the infected system. For the most part, these Trojans are used to spy on the affected systems and steal important data. Therefore, the sooner you remove Trojan.DarktrackRAT from your computer, the better. Read more »
