It would seem RansomPlus Ransomware is a malicious application that encrypts files only on specific directories located on the computer’s local drive (C:). Therefore, if the most valuable files to you are placed on another drive, you may not receive much damage. In any case, encrypted data can be replaced with copies, provided the user made any copies before the computer got infected and placed them on an external hard drive or any other storage, which could not be affected by the malicious application. However, before attempting to recover any data, it would be best to get rid of RansomPlus Ransomware for safety precautions. If you want to eliminate the threat manually, you should take a look at the instructions available below the text as they will show you how to remove the malware step by step. Read more »

Netflix Ransomware is a threat that can be concealed as a free Netflix account generator. Netflix is one of the most popular video streaming services in the world, but it costs money, and, undoubtedly, some users might try to get around that. Unsurprisingly, cyber criminals are now exploiting the demand to spread malware. The fake account generator could be promoted via bogus websites designed specifically for that purpose, or it could be promoted via spam email. According to Anti-Spyware-101.com research team, most ransomware infections – including Jew Crypt Ransomware and Crypto1coinblocker Ransomware – are spread via corrupted spam emails. If you execute the launcher expecting it to generate a free Netflix account for you, a malicious ransomware is executed instead (the provided account details are bogus). Right after that, the encryption of your personal files should start, and if that happens, you might find yourself following the demands of cyber criminals. Keep reading to learn more about these demands and how to remove Netflix Ransomware. Read more »

If your computer is under attack by Jew Crypt Ransomware, this time you may be in luck and not lose all your important file in this hit. Although most ransomware programs do a devastating job by encrypting your photos, videos, documents, archives, and program files that you usually cannot even recover even if you pay the ransom fee, this malware infection seems to be the odd one out. In other words, our malware specialists at anti-spyware-101.com say that this ransomware program seems to be still in development since it does not encrypt anything at all. What's more, this infection has runtime errors popping up before the final window, the ransom note comes up on your screen. These amateurs want to extort a ridiculously low amount from you for the imaginary decryption key, which you could not even transfer as there is no Bitcoin address provided. Well, there is no need to think about paying anyway because if you are attacked by the version that we have found, you have nothing to fear. If you want to restore your system security, you simply need to remove Jew Crypt Ransomware immediately. But before you rush to do so, let us tell you how you may have infected your machine with this threat in the first place. Read more »

Our malware experts at anti-spyware-101.com say that it is best for you to remove Crypto1coinblocker Ransomware immediately. Let us tell you in more detail how you may have infected your system so that you can prevent the next malicious attack. Read more »

Cryptoshadow Ransomware is most likely targeted at users who speak the Spanish language, although it does not mean other users cannot encounter it. What allows us to make such an assumption is the malware’s provided ransom note as its title, and the text inside are both in Spanish. However, since the ransom note does not provide any useful information, there is no difference whether you understand what is written in it or not. Apparently, the malicious program encrypts user’s data but does not ask for payment to be made in exchange for a decryptor. Given the circumstances, our researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com recommend Cryptoshadow Ransomware’s removal. It will not unlock encrypted files, but keeping the threat on the computer will not help either. On the contrary, it could be dangerous, so it might be best to get rid of it either manually with the instructions located below or with a legitimate antimalware tool. Read more »

Malware analysts at Anti-spyware-101.com have recently acquired a sample file of ransomware called Satan Ransomware. This application is dangerous because it can encrypt your personal files and demand that you pay money for the decryption key. However, you should remove it instead because there is no way of knowing whether the cybercriminals behind it will keep their word and send you the key once you have paid. This particular ransomware falls into the Ransomware as a Service (RaaS) category because its developers sell the license to use it for cyber criminals and take a cut off their profits. The criminals can distribute this it as they please, so your PC can become infected with it when you least expect it. Read more »

Nemesis Ransomware is a newcomer in one of the most dangerous segment of malware infections. This ransomware is mostly attacking vulnerable servers of corporations that may have the financial background to pay the demanded ransom fee for the decryption of their precious files. This major hit encrypts all important files, including documents and databases, which could be devastating for a hospital or any company storing large amounts of client data, not to mention sensitive information. Although it may seem as the only option for you to transfer the ransom fee, we must warn you that it is always risky. It is one thing that cyber criminals may not even consider sending you the decryptor software, but there could be technical issues emerging, too. What if these crooks need to shut down the Command and Control server? This could mean that your unique decryption key would be lost so you could do nothing even if you had the software. We always recommend that you remove the ransomware that has hit you; however, in this particular case we do not say so. The reason is simple: There is no need to delete Nemesis Ransomware because it does it automatically when its vicious job is done. Read more »

Jhon Woddy Ransomware is another example of a file-encrypting threat. As it is typical for this type of malware, it enters devices illegally, scans them, and finds a bunch of valuable files to encrypt. Popular extensions of pictures, documents, music, and videos are all locked by this ransomware infection. On top of that, it makes .exe, .ini, and .dll files unusable, meaning that important programs could no longer be opened too after the entrance of Jhon Woddy Ransomware. At the time of writing, it is still unclear whether or not this malicious application will become a huge cyber campaign, but its infection rate is not very high today. Of course, it does not mean that there are no chances of encountering this threat for you. If you are reading this article because this dangerous infection has locked your files and now demands a ransom, go to delete it without further consideration. Letting ransomware stay is a bad idea because its malicious file might be opened accidentally again, resulting in the encryption of new files. Read more »
