File Security Protected Ransomware, also known as Fake WindowsUpdater Ransomware, is a computer infection that you, without a doubt, do not want to find on your computer. It is because this infection is one of those threats which encrypt files after the successful entrance thus making it impossible to access a lot of different files. Although File Security Protected Ransomware has been developed to encrypt users’ files and make users pay money for the “private key”, users who encounter it these days might find their files intact, specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com say. It is because the C&C server of this ransomware infection is down, and it only launches a window with a ransom note but does not lock any files. This might change soon, so delete File Security Protected Ransomware as soon as possible if you ever detect it on your computer. Since this ransomware-type infection is not as sophisticated as some other popular threats, e.g. Btcware Ransomware, Kirk Ransomware, and Karmen Ransomware, it should not be a problem to delete it, but, of course, we recommend reading this article first before taking action.

If the malicious Kampret Ransomware has invaded your operating system, your personal files are now likely to have the “.lockednikampret” extension appended to them. This indicates that the file was encrypted, and, unfortunately, you cannot decrypt it yourself. The infection encrypts the targeted files – such as photos, media files, and documents – using the AES encryption algorithm, and you need a special decryption key to unlock them. So, how do you get this key? Unfortunately, it is in the hands of the cyber criminals who have created the devious ransomware. Can you convince them to just give this key to you? It seems like you cannot because the infection was created to coerce you into paying money for it, and so you are expected to open your wallet. Regrettably, we cannot guarantee that you would be able to decrypt all of the corrupted files even if you paid the ransom. Whether or not you follow the instructions of cyber criminals and get your files back, deleting Kampret Ransomware is crucial, and you can continue reading to learn how to get rid of this malicious threat.

Fake WindowsUpdater Ransomware is a malicious application which, just like its predecessors, encrypts users’ files with the AES-256 encryption algorithm. Its name, we can assure you, is not random. It has been given this name because of the name WindowsUpdater.exe found in its source code. Of course, it does not really matter what its name is. The most important thing is that it has all the features of a typical ransomware infection, i.e. it finds users’ valuable files after the successful entrance, encrypts them all, and then opens a ransom note. At the time of writing, the C&C server (http://ganedata.co.uk/ransomware/ransomware.php) of this ransomware infection is already dead, which suggests that it is no longer active. Unfortunately, there are no guarantees that this infection will not be fixed in the near future and thus will not start encrypting users’ files again, so do not be so sure that you will not encounter it. Most probably, you are reading this article because you have already detected Fake WindowsUpdater Ransomware on your computer. If we are right here, delete this computer infection from your system no matter it has encrypted your files or not, i.e. no matter you have encountered a working version of this threat or not.

The sum you are supposed to pay is not specified, and you have to contact the developers via email to get instructions on how to pay the ransom. Read more »
