Negozl Ransomware is yet another infection that aims to secretly infect your computer and force you to pay a ransom. We advocate for removing this infection because you might not get the required decryption key even after you have paid. Hence, you must not trust the cyber criminals behind this ransomware. Its developers use scaremongering to force you to pay. Threatening to delete your files if you do not pay the ransom is not the best of tactic when it comes to easing the victim to the idea of complying with the demands. Regardless, we suggest that you delete the ransomware first, but remember that the files will remain encrypted. Read more »

A new ransomware infection CryptoRoger Ransomware was detected on the 21st of June by security specialists. It does not differ much from other existing ransomware infections much because it also encrypts files once it enters the system with the AES-256 algorithm and then demands a ransom. There is also one unique fact about this infection. It has been found that it does not copy itself to different locations after the user opens the malicious file. Instead, it starts encrypting files from its point of execution (POE). Unfortunately, CryptoRoger Ransomware will encrypt all the personal files it finds stored on the computer; however, it will not touch system files because it does not have an intention of ruining your computer. Even though your files will not be unlocked if you delete the ransomware infection from your PC, you still need to do that as soon as possible because new files, e.g. a Microsoft Word document you create might also be in danger. On top of that, research carried out by the specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com has revealed that this computer infection will connect to the Internet without permission every day unless you delete it fully.

Kozy.Jozy Ransomware is another computer infection developed in Russia. Even though specialists consider it to be the Russian ransomware, it does not mean that this infection only spreads in Russia, which means that you might allow this infection to enter your system if you are not careful enough as well. The first symptom that the ransomware infection has found a way to your computer is a bunch of encrypted files. It is not difficult to say that files are encrypted because another filename extension will be added to the files Kozy.Jozy Ransomware touches. You will also simply notice that it is impossible to open them. Researchers working at anti-spyware-101.com have managed to find out that this computer infection uses RSA-2048, which is known to be the asymmetric encryption algorithm, so this means that files will not be unlocked for you even if you remove Kozy.Jozy Ransomware from your computer.

7h9r Ransomware is a new threat that might quickly enter your computer if you tend to open spam email attachments, surf the web rather carelessly, and do not even have a trustworthy security tool installed on your computer. This Trojan has been named 7h9r Ransomware not without a reason. Researchers have decided to call it like that because it adds the .7h9r filename extension to those files it encrypts. Yes, you will quickly find out that all your files are locked if this threat manages to find a way to your system. This ransomware infection is not unique in this sense because all other similar threats, e.g. Cerber Ransomware, Centurion_Legion Ransomware, and Payms Ransomware act the same. This is, they encrypt users’ personal files and then demand a ransom. Many users need to access their files, e.g. presentations, theses, documents, pictures, videos, and music files badly, so they decide to transfer money to cyber criminals. Specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com say that you should not hurry to make a payment because there might be a way to decrypt files free of charge. Read more »

Centurion_Legion Ransomware is a new threat that has been developed to obtain money from users. Specialists say that it is quite prevalent these days, so there is a chance that it will manage to sneak onto hundreds of different computers. If your computer is one of them, you will quickly notice that it is impossible to access the majority of important files. Unlike other ransomware infections that were popular some time ago, Centurion_Legion Ransomware not only encrypts pictures, documents, music, and other personal files, but also touches almost all .exe, .zip, and .lnk files. Fortunately, it leaves files that belong to the Windows OS (system files) unencrypted. This means that you will not need to start your computer in Safe Mode in order to remove Centurion_Legion Ransomware. Of course, we still cannot say that the removal of this computer infection will be easy because this ransomware is far from an ordinary program that has an uninstaller. Read more »
