Probably the worst that can happen in your virtual world is that a malware infection like Extractor Ransomware finds a way to penetrate it. This malicious program can slither onto your system without your noticing it and damage your files beyond recognition. In other words, this ransomware can encrypt your files with an algorithm to make them unusable for you. No wonder you cannot view or open any of your personal files, including your documents, photos, and archives. You may think that you can recover your files if you pay the ransom fee but, unfortunately, our research and our experience both indicate that there is little chance for you to get anything in return. Cyber crooks could not care less about your encrypted files and whether they remain inaccessible.

All in all, we advise you to remove Extractor Ransomware as soon as possible so that you can start rebuilding your system. Read more »

A new crypto-threat Pytehole Ransomware has been released by cyber criminals recently. It was first detected on the 25th of April, 2017, so it is not distributed actively yet, but specialists at anti-spyware-101.com still want users to know about the damage it might cause. We should start by saying that this malicious application arrives on computers illegally and then, after its executable file pyte-hole.exe (it might have a different name) is launched, starts encrypting users’ files. It does not encrypt all files it finds stored on the system, so %WINDIR% files (Windows OS files) are left untouched, and the affected computer can work normally. Unfortunately, Pytehole Ransomware stays active on the system after performing the encryption process, so it might strike again, specialists say. In consequence, users who discover Pytehole Ransomware on their PCs and a bunch of files encrypted should hurry to remove this malicious application fully. Keeping malware installed is always a bad idea because it might be performing activities in the background or even help other threats to sneak onto the system unnoticed. Read more »
