Blocking Ransomware is a new malicious application seeking to extract money from computer users. Although it has been detected by specialists at anti-spyware-101.com only recently and is considered a new threat, it is, technically, not completely new because it is a variant of BTCWare Ransomware. That is, it is based on its engine. Because of this, specialists have quickly found out how it acts on compromised machines. They say that Blocking Ransomware is another threat trying to obtain money from people. Cyber criminals who develop such malicious applications know well that users are not going to give them their money easily, so they create threats that encrypt files upon arrival to give them the reason to pay money. Unfortunately, ransomware infections encrypt files using strong encryption algorithms, so it is not always possible to unlock files without the special key. Of course, we do not try to say here that you should go to purchase a decryptor from cyber criminals. Instead, we recommend, first and foremost, getting rid of the ransomware infection so that it could not lock more files. The removal of the ransomware infection will be explained in the final paragraph, but we want you to understand how it acts first. Read more »
