If your system gets infected by .porno virus, you should know that this malware infection is also known as CryptoHitman Ransomware. This is a serious blow to your operating system and your personal files.

TrueCrypter Ransomware may well be a test project that cyber criminals ran as a preparation for a bigger hit. But this should not misguide you into believing that finding this ransomware infection on your computer is all fine. On the contrary, this infection could also be a nightmare just like any of its predecessors. Encrypting ransomware programs are probably one of the most dangerous malware infections out there today. This infection targets your most valuable files, such as documents, images, videos, and archives, and encrypts them with an algorithm that is practically impossible to decrypt without the private key. This is how cyber criminals can make a lot of easy money by selling victims this key or an application that can decrypt their files. When the encryption is done, you have to use the installed executable file to transfer your money and hope for the “good will” of these criminals to actually decrypt your files. We do not recommend that you pay the ransom fee, but this is totally your decision. Read more »

Your personal files are at risk of being encrypted by CryptoHitman Ransomware if you have not taken the right security measures to protect your operating system from malware. This malicious infection is primarily spread using spam email attachments; however, its creators might use other methods to infect computers, which is why you have to take care of your system’s security.

Vegclass@aol.com Ransomware is a malicious software that locks not only your personal files but also all third-party programs on your computer, e.g. Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, etc. The encrypted data becomes unusable, and the only way to recover it is to get a unique key that was used in the encryption process.

Naturally, you are asked to pay a ransom in exchange of the key, but even if you make the payment, there is a chance that they will not give it up. We advise you to consider paying the ransom only if the encrypted files are extremely important to you. Otherwise, you should remove the malware from your system. If you do not know how to erase it, you should see the instructions below the article. When you are sure that the infection is gone, you can recover the files from backup, provided that you have one.
