Ransomware infections are usually identified by their file extensions added to encrypted files. The ".frmvrlr2017" file extension refers to a new strain of ransomware which is known to be a spin-off of one of the latest ransomware threat named Globe. The Globe ransomware is based on the Purge TV series, and, unlike many other ransomware infections, uses a Blowfish encryption algorithm instead of AES encryption. The Globe ransomware has been tinkered several times, resulting in the release of different variants, one of which is the version adding the ."frmvlr2017" file extension.  This version has not been given a new name yet, so it may be referred to differently on different websites. As for this review, it is dubbed ".frmvrlr2017 file extension" ransomware. All the different versions of the Globe ransomware should be removed without paying attention to the requirements to pay money, because paying up does not ensure that the data encrypted will be restored.

Cypher Ransomware is a new malicious threat that is programmed in Python and capable of encrypting your important files. Our malware specialists at anti-spyware-101.com say that this ransomware started to spread at the end of this February and it demands an insane amount of ransom for the decryption key.

We think that even if you cannot get your files back this time, it is important to remove Cypher Ransomware from your system. For the details, please continue reading our article. Read more »
