A new ransomware-type infection Crptxxx Ransomware has been discovered by experts working in the cyber-security field. It has turned out that it is quite an old infection, which might even be an old version of Btcware Ransomware. Although its infection rate is no longer high, theoretically, users might still find it on their computers. The main symptom showing that this computer infection has successfully entered the system is a bunch of encrypted files on the computer. It scans the system and finds pictures, documents, media files, and other valuable files first before locking them. Luckily, it does not enter computers with the intention of ruining the Windows OS, so, as a consequence, the %WINDIR% folder will be left intact. The same can be said about the folder of Internet Explorer. Ransomware infections perform the encryption of personal files not without reason. We can assure you that they do not seek to make you angry either. Instead, it is all about money. Even though the victims of Crptxxx Ransomware do not find any information about a ransom in a ransom note left by this infection, it does not mean that they will get their files unlocked for free. Of course, we do not try to say here that users should immediately go to pay money to bad people when they discover ransomware on their PCs. Read more »

Rijndael Ransomware is a computer infection developed by the author who calls himself/herself humanpuff69. It seems to be a new version of Dnransomware Steps, which was spotted by our malware analysts in January 2017. Although it is a newly-detected computer infection, it seems that it has borrowed a working scheme from other ransomware infections because it does not differ from them in any way. After tricking users into downloading it, this malicious application finds files stored on the computer and then encrypts them all. It always acts the same unless a user downloads a corrupted malicious file. If you suspect that this ransomware-type infection is inside your computer too, delete it no matter it has encrypted your files or not. It will be slightly more difficult to do that if it has “locked” your Desktop, but, with our help, its removal should not be a task that is impossible to accomplish. Read more »
