Striked Ransomware is a nasty ransomware-type infection that encrypts files and the majority of programs right after the successful entrance. You can be sure that it is the one you have to blame for locking your files and programs if they all have a new extension consisting of an email address rap@mortalkombat.top and a unique ID appended to them, for example, picture.jpg#rap@mortalkombat.top#id#1398924752. Strangely, it does not demand a ransom after locking users’ files. Well, at least you will not find a single word about money in its ransom note. Of course, there is still a small possibility that you will be asked to transfer a certain amount of money in exchange for the decryption key when you contact cyber criminals. Do not even think about paying a ransom in this case because you might lose your money too for nothing. Although your files will not be automatically unlocked, you must delete Striked Ransomware as soon as possible so that you would not accidentally launch its malicious file again. Read more »

RanRans Ransomware is one of the newest ransomware-type infections specialists at anti-spyware-101.com have detected. If it ever successfully enters your computer, you will discover files located in %USERPROFILE% and %ALLUSERPROFILE% (including its subfolders) encrypted. The ransomware infection has been set to lock users’ personal files not without reason. Cyber criminals expect that this will help them to obtain money from users more easily. Even though the ransom RanRans Ransomware asks is quite small if compared to the amount of money required by other ransomware-type infections, do not encourage cyber criminals to continue developing malicious applications by sending them money. It is, of course, not the main reason you should keep the money to yourself. Specialists also do not recommend transferring money to cyber criminals because there are no guarantees that files could be unlocked. Unfortunately, it might be impossible to unlock files without the special decryption software users are told they could download from any of the three provided URLs (http://bit.ly/2pSvha0, http://bit.ly/2pSGjvO, and http://bit.ly/2qtVk8B) after paying a ransom, but it does not mean that you should go to send money.

ForceLocker Ransomware is a malicious application targeting Russian users primarily. It seems to be a new version of ShellLocker, a ransomware infection detected by specialists some time ago, because they are similar to each other. The first thing ForceLocker Ransomware does on users’ PCs after the successful infiltration is encrypting personal files. Then, it locks Desktop by placing a screen-locking window with a ransom note on it. It becomes clear after reading the message left on the screen that all this threat wants from users is their money. Of course, you should not send a ransom no matter how badly you need your files back. What we recommend doing instead is simply deleting this infection from the system and then recovering files from a backup. We have to tell you the truth – it might be impossible to restore files if you do not have a backup of files because the encryption key AES-256 which it uses is one of the strongest encryption algorithms.

The Unlckr ransomware is a malicious ransomware infection that accesses the system surreptitiously  in order to encode your file so that you cannot use as usual. On top of that, the infection displays a ransom saying that you should contact someone behind the malware to regain access to your files. Usually, ransom notes contain the sum that is required as a fee for having the encrypted files restored.  Episodes when victims are instructed to contact the attackers are quite rare, but it is the case with the Unlckr ransomware. Our team at Anti-Spyware-101.com insists that you ignore the infections of the ransomware and remove it from the computer for good. Read more »

Whoever created Fenrir Ransomware, they must be in the Norse mythology, seeing how they gave their program the name of the monstrous Norse wolf. Perhaps they expected their program to be just as destructive as the mythical creature. Judging from the reports we get from distressed users, the program must have reached at least part of their intended victims.

It is unfortunate that there is no public decryption tool that would allow us to restore the files encrypted by this infection, but you can actually remove Fenrir Ransomware if you check out the manual removal instructions we have compiled right below this description. Read more »

The devious Azer Ransomware slithers in without your notice and immediately initiates the encryption of your personal files. Have you noticed that many of your files have been removed and replaced with suspicious files with random names? In reality, your personal files were not eliminated, and they were only encrypted. The names are changed so that you would have a harder time understanding which files were corrupted, but, of course, you should be able to figure things out. Another thing that the threat does is that it appends the “-email-[webmafia@asia.com].AZER” extension to all encrypted photos, documents, and other files. Needless to say, the name of the ransomware derives from this extension. As you can see it also includes an email address, and we discuss that further in the report. The infection, as you must know already, was created to make money, and it can do that by pushing their victims into paying ransoms in return of file-decryption. The thing is, a decryptor is unlikely to be given. Whatever happens, you must delete Azer Ransomware, and the tips in this report should help you. Read more »
