The malicious Wildfire Ransomware is a threat that might lurk in your spam emails. According to Anti-Spyware-101.com ransomware researchers, this infection might be spread using a macro-embedded .docx file attached to a spam email. Unfortunately, the contents of this email might be misleading, and you could be tricked into opening the file without realizing the danger. The seemingly harmless document file can be used to download or create a malicious executable (e.g., ms.exe) that you are likely to find in the %HOMEDRIVE%\ProgramData\Memsys directory. This file runs automatically, and this is how the ransomware is launched. The malicious ransomware is dropped to the %APPDATA% directory in a folder that has 10 random characters for its name. In this folder, you are also likely to find the main executable file, a PNG file, and an XML file that is likely to be used for the collection of data. Needless to say, these are the files you need to delete to have Wildfire Ransomware removed, but the process is not as straightforward as you might think. Read more »

Pizzacrypts Ransomware, according to Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers, is one of the latest examples of ransomware. Our research has revealed that this dangerous infection is mainly spread via corrupted spam emails, but we do not refuse the possibility that different methods of distribution are employed by this threat. The creators of this malicious ransomware rely on silent entrance to ensure that that it initiates file encryption without user’s notice. Once the encryption is complete, not much can be done because the decryption key is kept in secret. If you do not have the key, you cannot restore your personal files, and this is what is meant to force you into paying the ransom. Now, if you pay this ransom, there is a possibility that your files would remain encrypted. After all, the cyber criminals behind this infection want your money, and they do not care about you. As soon as they get the money, they could move on to other scams without decrypting your files first. So, what are your options and how should you remove Pizzacrypts Ransomware?

SATANA Ransomware is a new computer infection that threatens to lock personal files. It is quite prevalent on the web these days, and it has been noticed that it shares similarities with such popular infections as Mischa Ransomware and Petya Ransomware. First of all, it locks files it finds stored on the computer with an intention of stealing money from computer users. Secondly, it modifies the MBR (Master Boot Record) in order to make it impossible for the Windows OS to load up. The only thing that users will see is the message covering the entire screen. It will say that the user has become the victim of SATANA Ransomware to explain why all the files are locked. In addition, a user will be offered to buy the decryption tool to unlock files. To be honest, the decryptor will be of no use here because this ransomware will not fix the Master Boot Record for you. In other words, you will not be able to unlock and access your files even if you transfer the required sum, so you should not waste your money. Instead, you should hurry to remove SATANA Ransomware from your computer to fix your Windows OS and thus use the computer normally again. Read more »

Have you paid the fee requested by Bart Ransomware developers, but your personal files are still locked? Unfortunately, this is a risk that every user who chooses to follow the demands faces. The problem is that many users do not see another option. The ransomware silently corrupts personal files by adding every single one of them to a unique password-protected ZIP archive. In order to access the file corrupted by this threat, you need the password, and the only way to get it – at this point – is by paying the ransom. Having said that, paying the ransom is the last thing we recommend because you might lose your money for no good reason. On top of that, the ransom requested by this threat is ridiculously big, and it is questionable if many users would be capable of paying it even if they wanted to. We are sure that you want to delete Bart Ransomware from your operating system right now, but the situation is not that simple, and the removal of malware is not something that fixes the problem.

They want to trick you into thinking that they have mysteriously hidden them in a created partition, but that is untrue. Please continue reading if you want to find out more. Read more »

If Mircop Ransomware hits your computer, there is a good chance that you lose all your precious photos, videos, and documents unless, of course, you have a backup copy on a removable drive.
