Payms Ransomware is a serious threat if it manages to “set foot” on your operating system. This ransomware seems to be a new variant of Jigsaw Ransomware, which is reported to be sold on the Dark Web for $139. Infecting your system with this malware serves only one purpose: To extort money from you for decrypting your files. So after encrypting your personal files practically in all directories, you are informed about the payment method. This is a sensitive matter whether you pay or not and is totally up to you. But we do not recommend paying since these criminals may not decrypt your files even if you pay and there could be technical failures too in this process, which could sabotage the decryption. Also consider what your files are worth to you because a few old documents and pictures may not be a big loss. As a matter of fact, you should also be able to find a working file recovery tool since our malware experts at anti-spyware-101.com say that the decrypter used for Jigsaw has been updated and should work for this ransomware as well. Nevertheless, most importantly, you should remove Payms Ransomware right away in order to stop this nightmare. Read more »
