Compared to other file-encrypting malware Payday Ransomware is not as harmful as it could look like. Our researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com have tested the threat themselves and confirmed that it could encipher data only in a particular location. In other words, if you do not even keep valuable files in the infection’s targeted directory, the damage you receive could be lesser.

As you see, we are placing manual removal instructions a little below the text, but before you scroll down, it would be advisable to read more about the infection. Read more »

If you find all files, except those having the .exe filename extension, encrypted on your computer, it means that Thedon78@mail.com Ransomware is inside the system. It is 100% true if these files which you cannot open have received a filename extension .Thedon78@mail.com. Some people call this ransomware infection FenixLocker, but specialists have decided to call it Thedon78@mail.com Ransomware due to the email address it uses and the extension it appends to files it encrypts. Even though this infection has a new name, it does not differ from older similar ransomware infections, e.g. Centrumfr@india.com Ransomware at all because it has also been created to lock users’ files and obtain money from them. If you are one of those users who have found all files locked, you should not worry too much because the decryption tool which can be freely downloaded from the web has been recently developed by specialists. Go to download it from the web but do not forget that the decryption of files will only be effective if you fully remove Thedon78@mail.com Ransomware. If you do not do that, you might accidentally launch the malicious file and thus get your files all encrypted one more time. We are sure you do not wish this to happen again, so we have asked our specialists to help you get rid of this threat.

Levis Locker is a threat that has been categorized as a ransomware infection. Levis Locker Ransomware differs from similar ransomware infections in a sense that it does not encrypt users’ files stored on the computer. Of course, it still causes problems. The first symptom that you have encountered this dangerous infection is the presence of the screen-locking window covering Desktop. It is said there that this has been done due to “illegally activity online.” Ignore the message you see on this window because it is shown to you just to scare you into paying money. Believe us; your screen would not be locked even if you really did something bad. Therefore, your main focus now should be on the deletion of the ransomware infection existing on your computer.

There are different types of malicious applications out there, and ransomware is one of the most dangerous threats. Popcorntime Ransomware is a new file-encrypting ransomware infection seeking to extort money from users. It is based on the engine of the HiddenTear open-source ransomware, and it still seems to be in development because it only targets the folder called Efiles. Since users usually do not have this folder on their PCs, the current version of this infection does not cause harm to them. Of course, the situation might quickly change, i.e. the fixed version of Popcorntime Ransomware might act completely differently. In other words, it might encrypt other folders too and, consequently, make it impossible to access a bunch of files. As has been mentioned, the one and only purpose of the ransomware infection is to obtain money from people, so it is not surprising that the encrypting of files is the main activity it performs on the infected computer. If you ever encounter Popcorntime Ransomware, go to delete it immediately no matter you find your files encrypted or they are left untouched. It uses the AES-256 encryption algorithm, so it will not be a piece of cake to unlock files, but you should still not give up hope to recover your data without the key cyber criminals have on their private server.

It is not your fault that you cannot access media and other valuable files. Most probably, Supermagnet@india.com Ransomware has entered the computer illegally and performed the encryption of data using the AES-256 cipher. There is no doubt that it is the one responsible for a bunch of locked files if your files now have a new filename extension .{Supermagnet@india.com} next to their original filename extensions (e.g. .jpg, .doc, and .pdf). Supermagnet@india.com Ransomware is a new member of the family using “india.com” in their emails, so, even though it is a new threat, it does not differ much from previously released ransomware infections (e.g. Help_you@india.com Ransomware, Melme@india.com Ransomware, and Ramachandra7@india.com Ransomware) belonging to this wide family. As in the case of those older threats, specialists at anti-spyware-101.com say that it is a really bad idea to keep Supermagnet@india.com Ransomware on the computer, so go to delete it the second you discover it on your system. Users who decide to ignore this problem might find their new files encrypted soon. On top of that, the ransom note it leaves for users could not be removed from Desktop since this computer infection creates an entry in the Run registry key so that it can launch automatically when the Windows OS loads up. As a consequence, the only way to disable it forever is to delete this threat fully from the computer. Read more »
