Scarab Ransomware
Scarab Ransomware is a vicious file-encrypting malware since it not only encrypts your valuable data with a secure cryptosystem but also deletes shadow copies. As a result, all the affected files become unusable, and without the shadow copies, it becomes impossible to restore them. On top of that the user should receive a ransom note saying there is a decryption key, which could restore encrypted files, but to get it you would have to pay a ransom. Needless to say, by paying the ransom, you would fund the cyber criminals behind Scarab Ransomware, and because there are no guarantees you will get this decryption key it is entirely possible you could lose the transferred money completely in vain. Therefore, instead of contacting the threat’s creators, we advise you to concentrate on the infection’s removal. The instructions placed below will tell where the malicious files could be and show you how to erase them too. Read more »

Takeitnow.club
Takeitnow.club is a website which is better known for specialists at anti-spyware-101.com as a redirect from suspicious third-party pages, such as http://911docs.net. Since it promotes the browser extension for Google Chrome called Fontfully, specialists are sure that promoting this piece of software is its main job. If this website is ever opened for you and goes into full-screen mode, do not click on the Add extension button because we cannot confirm that the promoted extension can be fully trusted and is beneficial. You do not need to click on this button to close this website, you can easily do that by clicking X or tapping Alt+F4 on your keyboard no matter that it has occupied the entire screen. Have you already added the extension it promotes? If so, you should remove it from the list of add-ons in the near future. We can assure you that it is not a harmful infection. Instead, it is just a potentially unwanted application. Even though these programs are far from malicious applications, they might still act in an undesirable way on users’ computers, so letting them stay is a bad idea.

May Ransomware
May Ransomware is probably the worst thing that can happen to you if you find out that this malicious program infiltrated your system and encrypted all your personal files. This ransomware is not decryptable right now and it may even stay this way as it uses impossible-to-crack algorithms to cipher your files, including your images, videos, documents, and so on. Although you are given a chance to send a ransom fee to get the decryption key, we do not recommend that you do that. We cannot stop you from rushing and buying Bitcoins to get your files back but maybe first you should consider the rather high amount and if your files are worth this much at all. Another thing to take into consideration that transferring money to cyber criminals is practically an illegal act like supporting them to commit more fraud. We believe that the only right way out of this situation is to use a recent backup copy to restore your most important files after you remove May Ransomware and all related files from your system. If you do not have a backup, this may be your saddest day in your virtual world because there is a good chance that you will not be able to recover your encrypted files. Read more »
