If you can locate Servime.exe in the Windows folder, or you see an unknown process named Servime.exe in Task Manager, this is a clear sign that you have a malicious application installed on your computer. Specifically speaking, you have a Trojan miner active on your computer. These are threats that mine cryptocurrencies using victims’ CPU power. Of course, they do that without their knowledge. Just like similar Trojan infections, they also enter users’ computers without permission in most cases, they do not have program windows, and, finally they perform all their activities in the background, so it is not surprising that users find out about the entrance of the cryptocurrency miner after some time. In most cases, users first notice that their computers have become extremely sluggish and, because of this, they cannot perform certain activities using them. Do not worry; everything will get back to normal once you fully erase the Trojan miner from your computer. We cannot promise that this will be easy because the Servime.exe cryptocurrency miner might have more than one malicious component. We know that Servime.exe is one of them – it can be found in the Windows folder, as mentioned at the beginning of this paragraph; however, it is unclear where it has placed its other files and how they are named. Either way, you must delete this infection from your system as soon as possible because it will not remove itself from your computer, we can assure you. Read more »

If you have found your personal files with the .creeper extension, this is an indication that Creeper Ransomware has entered your system. This threat is a typical ransomware-type infection whose only purpose is to make users pay money to cyber criminals. Because of this, it mercilessly locks files on victims’ computers once it infiltrates them. This threat does not ask permission to enter users’ PCs and make changes on them, but it does not hide either, so you will discover that your files have a new extension and can no longer be accessed soon. To tell you the truth, we cannot promise that you could unlock these files because free decryption software is not available. Purchasing a decryption key from cyber criminals behind this ransomware infection is not an option either. Never pay money to cyber criminals because they only want your money. Consequently, they might forget their promises to you the second they get what they want, i.e. your money. No matter what your final decision is, you must delete the ransomware infection as soon as possible. Specialists say that Creeper Ransomware is not one of those infections that start working on system startup, but if you ever open its launcher, it will start working again and your all new files will become encrypted in no time.

Stop Ransomware is a relatively new threat that first surfaced around two months ago and it already seems to have a second version. Our malware experts at anti-spyware-101.com say that this infection can show up on your system without your knowledge and encrypt all your important files in a short time. All this to extort money from you for the decryption key and software. We do not think it is worth risking hundreds of dollars when there is no guarantee that you will get anything for your money. Unfortunately, experience shows that such attackers rarely care about their promise; once they get your transfer, they will be gone or they may attack you again in hope of more money from you. If you do not have a backup stored somewhere safe, you may lose all your encrypted files in this malicious attack. We strongly recommend that you remove Stop Ransomware immediately. Read more »

Hrhr Ransomware is practically another name malware researchers seem to have given to refer to ".leenapidx@snakebite.com.hrhr File Extension" Ransomware. Our malware experts at anti-spyware-101.com say that this malware threat is the new version of Yyto Ransomware, which emerged last summer. If this vicious program manages to slither onto your system, you may have to say goodbye to your  precious files because this beast can encrypt them and thus render them unusable. Although your attackers offer you a way out by paying them money for the decryption key, we do not believe it is the best thing to do. In fact, it is always risky to contact such cyber criminals and send them money, too. It is quite possible that they will infect your again if they see a potential "gold mine" in you. We recommend that you act immediately and remove Hrhr Ransomware from your PC. Read more »

Ranion 1.08 Ransomware, according to our Anti-Spyware-101.com research team, is an upgrade from the previously reported Ranion 1.07 Ransomware. Both infections were created using a builder that is available to anyone who is willing to pay some money. The previous version; however, was incapable of encrypting files, and the 1.08 version can do that. When it corrupts the files, it also creates a ransom note to introduce the victim to a ransom demand. Without a doubt, this infection was built for financial gain only, and, unfortunately, the cyber criminals behind it do not have any reservations when it comes to reaching their goal. If you have let in this dangerous malware in, the first thing you want to do is check which files were corrupted. It is easy to identify them by the “.ransom” extension that is added to their names. Unfortunately, this malicious threat is likely to corrupt documents, personal photos, and other sensitive data. Hopefully, you have backup copies of these files because restoring the originals is likely to be impossible. What is not impossible is removing Ranion 1.08 Ransomware, and we have created a guide that shows how to do it successfully. Read more »

If you live in Korea, you need to beware of the malicious Korean AdamLocker Ransomware. This dangerous threat is capable of encrypting the personal files stored on your operating system, and, once they are encrypted, you are unlikely to be able to recover them. The creator of the infection suggests paying a ransom of $50 in return of a decryptor, but no one can tell whether or not a decryption tool or key would be provided to the victim who is willing to pay the ransom. Needless to say, Anti-Spyware-101.com research team does not recommend making any payments, but if you do, and your files are restored, you still need to delete Korean AdamLocker Ransomware. Erasing this threat manually can be challenging if you do not know where the launcher file is. If you are aware of its location, removing the threat should not be difficult, and we have created a guide with a complete list of components that require elimination. Before you get rid of the infection, read this report to learn all about it. Read more »

Your personal files are doomed if the malicious BaYuCheng@yeah.net Ransomware manages to slither in. This threat – a version of the infamous Xiaoba Ransomware – can hide within spam emails, and so if you are careless, you could be tricked into executing it yourself. Unfortunately, once the launcher is activated, it is unlikely that you can stop it even if you are aware that the file is malicious. Of course, if you remove the launcher right away, the threat might be stopped. However, if you do not delete BaYuCheng@yeah.net Ransomware in time, your files are either encrypted or erased. It is hard to say why exactly this malicious infection was created. One version of it pushes the victims to pay a ransom for an alleged decryptor, but there is also a version that does not even make a ransom demand. Instead, it quickly erases the files. Please continue reading the repot to learn more about the threat, and if you come up with any questions, note that the comments section is open to everyone. Read more »
