The ransomware business must be a lucrative one for cyber villains and that is why Colecyrus@mail.com Ransomware and the like seem to emerge every single day. Our malware specialists at anti-spyware-101.com say that this vicious program is probably the new version of Yyto Ransomware. But whatever the roots, this ransomware program can encrypt your important files and demand a ransom fee in exchange for the decryption key. You may not know but such attacks usually end badly for the victims since cyber crooks almost never send the key or a tool to recover the encrypted files. It is more likely to get infected by them once again, as a matter of fact. The best way to prevent such severe devastation is to have a backup. Nowadays it is quite trendy to use cloud storage for that purpose but you can also save a backup onto a removable drive. The important thing is that you only start transferring your clean files after you remove Colecyrus@mail.com Ransomware from your PC. Please continue reading our report to learn how you can avoid such a dangerous attack and how this ransomware works. Read more »

WannabeHappy Ransomware is a malicious file-encrypting program that locks user’s data and gives him a bit more than thirteen hours to pay a ransom. The amount the hijacks behind this malware ask is around five hundred US dollars paid in Bitcoins. It is not the largest sum we have ever seen, but also not the smallest since we did encounter ransomware applications asking only twenty US dollars. However, no matter how affordable the price is or how much the cyber criminals promise they will not trick you, we would still not recommend complying with any demands. The truth is they can keep asking you for more money and in the end who knows if they will bother to send the mentioned decryption key. If you do not feel like gambling with your money, we advise you to ignore the presented ransom note and remove WannabeHappy Ransomware with the instructions located below or a legitimate antimalware tool you trust.
