A new ransomware infection that shares similarities with Cryakl Ransomware has been detected by cyber criminals. It is called Fairy Tail Ransomware because it appends a long string with .fairytail at the end to all encrypted files. Yes, this malicious application is another crypto-threat that mercilessly locks files on victims’ computers. Researchers working at anti-spyware-101.com have observed that the quality of this ransomware infection is low, so it is not very likely that it will become very prevalent; however, a new polished version might be developed in the near future, so users should not leave their systems unprotected, specialists say. Fairy Tail Ransomware cannot be considered prevalent, but it does not mean that users cannot encounter it. Have you already encountered this infection? If yes, you must delete it from your computer right away. If you do nothing about its presence, it is only a question of time when it locks more files on your system because it creates an entry in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run so that it could continue doing its dirty job after the system restart.

Suspended Ransomware is a threat that can be used to encrypt your files. That is done so that the crooks behind the infection could have leverage when making their demands. The main demand, of course, is that you pay a ransom, and it is quite big – 600 USD. All in all, whether the ransom is small or big, paying it is never a good idea due to several reasons. First of all, you do not want to obey cyber criminals at all. Second, you do not want to waste your money, and that is likely to happen if you pay the ransom. Although the developer of the ransomware wants you to believe that a decryption key would be offered if you paid the ransom, that is unlikely to happen.

Unfortunately, if your operating system was invaded by any of these threats, most likely, the only thing you can do is remove them. Do you know how to delete Suspended Ransomware? Read more »
