Some users mistake CrypMIC Ransomware for an older infection named CryptXXX Ransomware, and this is a mistake that is very easy to make. Both of these infections are spread in the same way, using the Neutrino exploit kit. They use nearly identical messages via TXT and HTML files. Moreover, they demand the same things. Of course, the older infection is the original one, and it appears that the new one is only copycatting it to trick you. In any case, regardless of which of these two infections you encounter, you are at risk because both of them can encrypt your most sensitive, personal files and demand a ransom in return for their release. Unfortunately, it is naive to think that the cyber crooks behind this ransomware (any of them) will help you out. Once you pay the ransom, cyber criminals get what they want, and they more likely than not to move on to the next thing. Although you might be provided with an allegedly functioning decryptor, it is unlikely to decrypt your files. Despite this, you should not delete CrypMIC Ransomware and the corrupted versions of your personal files just yet. Read more »

Security experts at Anti-spyware-101.com have recently come across an application called Cryakl Ransomware. They advise that you remove it as soon as you notice its presence. It is configured to encrypt files stored on your computer’s hard drive and then offer you to purchase the decryption key needed to decrypt them. The encryption method used ensures that the files are unusable, and it uses a strong hybrid encryption with a long key. Therefore, it will take time before computer security researchers develop a free decryption tool if they develop it at all. Read more »

VenusLocker Ransomware is a serious new threat that can be a devastating hit to your computer and you too if it manages to infiltrate your operating system. According to our malware specialists at anti-spyware-101.com, this dangerous malware infection is based on the well-known EDA2 Ransomware, which is in fact an open-source ransomware. This means that it may be possible in the near future that a free file recovery tool will emerge on the net; however, as of yet we have not found any since this infection is fairly new. The main reason for this vicious attack is to force you to pay a certain ransom fee if you want to use your files ever again. But do you really think such crooks would actually send you a tool to decrypt your files and your private key just because they promised? What if they have to shut down their C&C server and your key gets lost? As you can see, there are a few things to consider before you rush to transfer the money. The bad news is that if you remove VenusLocker Ransomware, this will not recover your files; nevertheless, this is the right thing to do if you want to restore your computer. Read more »

Uyari Ransomware is a malicious computer infection designed to steal your money. This program mostly affects computer users in Turkey, but it exhibits all the main aspects of a ransomware program, so it should be taken seriously.

Needless to say, you should never transfer the payment because that would be simply giving the criminals what they want. Instead, you need to remove Uyari Ransomware from the system as soon as possible and then figure out a way to restore your files. Read more »

The tests conducted in the Anti-Spyware-101.com internal lab have revealed that CTB-Faker Ransomware can take on the skin of other infamous ransomware infections. The most common version of this devious threat uses the name of the malicious CTB-Locker Ransomware, and it can introduce you to a pop-up window that clearly mimics the one used by CTB-Locker. It is most likely that the devious ransomware uses this trick to camouflage itself and make users research the wrong infection, which, ultimately, should stop them from removing it timely or taking necessary action. Hopefully, you will not be fooled and confused about this infection. One thing that should be said right away is that this ransomware does not encrypt files as stated via the misleading pop-up window. Unfortunately, that does not mean that your files are not at risk or that you do not need to delete CTB-Faker Ransomware. Continue reading. Read more »

You have to take all of the necessary security measures to prevent Anonymous Ransomware from attacking your Windows operating system. This includes implementing reliable anti-malware software, scanning your PC regularly, installing necessary updates, and, most important, acting carefully when using your computer and browsing the web. According to the researchers of Anti-Spyware-101.com, the most common backdoor for this infection is spam emails. The malicious launcher of this infection is camouflaged as a harmless-looking attachment, and the infection is unleashed upon opening this attachment. The worst part is that most users do not even realize that they are letting in malware, even when the attachment does not open as it should, which prevents them from taking action right away. Once this ransomware slithers in, it wreaks havoc, and deleting Anonymous Ransomware does not solve the problem. Read more »

We have included a removal guide at the end of this article, but a good antimalware tool can deal with it as well. Read more »

In short, many things can go wrong with this unstable malicious program. So you have to choose your course of action carefully. Read more »
