Do NOT open random spam emails because you might invite GrodexCrypt Ransomware by doing so. If you let this infection into your operating system and allow it to encrypt your files, you will find yourself in a predicament. This threat encrypts files, and it demands for a ransom to be paid. Well, can you just pay the ransom and be done with the whole thing? Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee this because, in most cases, ransomware creators do not care about providing their victims with decryptors. All they care about is the money, and they are likely to disappear once they get it. The information that the creator of the threat displays using a window entitled “GrodexCrypt” is meant to make you think that the devious infection will disappear once you pay the ransom as well. Of course, that is not the case, and even if you get your files decrypted, you must not forget to delete GrodexCrypt Ransomware. Anti-Spyware-101.com research team has thoroughly researched this malicious threat in our internal lab, and the information in this article represents the findings. Read more »

TeslaWare Ransomware is a malicious threat that employs AES encryption algorithm to lock its targeted files. The hackers behind the malware give their victims seven days to pay a ransom of 0.425 BTC that is approximately one thousand euros, although it is uncertain if this is the real price since the infection’s window suggests the victim should transfer only 300 euros. Strangely, the accounts for transferring the money are different in the ransom note and the malicious application’s window too. Under such circumstances, we urge you not to risk your money as it is unclear what the correct price is and where it should be transferred. Not to mention, there are no guarantees TeslaWare Ransomware’s creators will not scam you and provide the decryption key. Consequently, we would encourage users to refuse to pay the ransom and get rid of the threat as soon as possible. To help you handle this task, we are placing removal instructions just below the report. Read more »

You might be responsible for letting Brickr Ransomware in if you executed this infection yourself by accidentally opening a corrupted spam email attachment. This is how this infection spreads. Soon after execution, the malicious file initiates the encryption of personal files to keep them hostage when demanding a ransom from you. While your files are being encrypted, a decryption key should be created as well, and this is what the creator of the ransomware will offer you in return for the ransom. Though the transaction might seem real, it is very possible that you would not see a decryptor after you transferred the ransom to the appropriate Bitcoin Address. You are introduced to the ransom and provided with instructions on how to pay it via the message that can be shown to you in two different ways. Hopefully, you can get your files decrypted, but even if that fails, you need to delete Brickr Ransomware, and the sooner you do it, of course, the better. Read more »

If you have been introduced to the ransom note by Widia Ransomware, do not rush to panic about your personal files because, in reality, they are not encrypted. The information represented via the ransom note is meant to trick you into disclosing your credit card information that cyber criminals could potentially use to impersonate you and make illegal transactions. Due to this, if you have disclosed credit card details, immediately call the bank to see what can be done to protect yourself. When it comes to the ransomware itself, the biggest issue you might be facing is its removal. The ransomware locks the screen, as well as disables Windows Explorer, Registry Editor, and Task Manager. Because of this, many users will face problems deleting Widia Ransomware. Even if you want to install software to eliminate this threat automatically, you might have to do something you have never done before, and manual removal, of course, is even more complicated.

A new extension .imsorry appended next to original extensions of your files indicates that Imsorry Ransomware has slithered onto your computer and done its job. That is, it has encrypted your pictures, documents, text files, music, and videos so that it could extract money from you. Since the only goal of this infection is to make users send money to its developer, do not be surprised that a window demanding a ransom is opened on your Desktop after the encryption of files. A new .txt file (Read me for help thanks.txt) is also dropped on the computer to inform you about the encryption of files and tell you what you can do to get their files back. Although you badly need to access your files, you should not send cyber criminals money because you might be left without anything. That is, you will lose not only your files (it is because it might still be impossible to unlock them after making a payment to cyber criminals), but also your money. What we expect you to do instead is to remove Imsorry Ransomware from the system the second you encounter it. It needs to be removed ASAP to disable it and make sure that it cannot encrypt any new files. Read more »

If an infection that has invaded your PC informs you that your personal files are encrypted, you have to be careful because infections like Blooper Ransomware might trick you into believing lies just to get your money. While serious file-encrypting infections are emerging every day, recently, there has been a surge of malware that only poses as such infections. A few of them include Elmers Glue Locker Ransomware, Deos Ransomware, and DeadSec-Crypto Ransomware. When Bloopers Encrypter invades your operating system, it introduces you to a ransom message suggesting that your files are encrypted and that you can decrypt them only by paying a ransom. This is how real ransomware infections operate, and so it is possible that more gullible, inexperienced users will be tricked. Of course, you would achieve nothing by paying the ransom because your files are not encrypted! You should be able to delete Blooper Ransomware manually, and the guide below shows how to do that, but we also want to show you how to determine whether or not the infection is real, as well as how to protect yourself against malware in the future.
