If your system gets infected by .porno virus, you should know that this malware infection is also known as CryptoHitman Ransomware. This is a serious blow to your operating system and your personal files. As you may guess from its name, it is a crypto ransomware that actually encrypts your files and demands a ransom in return for decrypting them. This infection infiltrates your system through a Trojan program; therefore, it is often categorized as a Trojan ransomware. Unfortunately, you may lose all your files if this malware finds a way to your system. You may feel that your only chance to recover your files is to pay the ransom fee, but you should consider that these are cyber criminals and experience shows that they may not even keep their promise.

TrueCrypter Ransomware may well be a test project that cyber criminals ran as a preparation for a bigger hit. But this should not misguide you into believing that finding this ransomware infection on your computer is all fine. On the contrary, this infection could also be a nightmare just like any of its predecessors. Encrypting ransomware programs are probably one of the most dangerous malware infections out there today. This infection targets your most valuable files, such as documents, images, videos, and archives, and encrypts them with an algorithm that is practically impossible to decrypt without the private key. This is how cyber criminals can make a lot of easy money by selling victims this key or an application that can decrypt their files. When the encryption is done, you have to use the installed executable file to transfer your money and hope for the “good will” of these criminals to actually decrypt your files. We do not recommend that you pay the ransom fee, but this is totally your decision. Read more »

Your personal files are at risk of being encrypted by CryptoHitman Ransomware if you have not taken the right security measures to protect your operating system from malware. This malicious infection is primarily spread using spam email attachments; however, its creators might use other methods to infect computers, which is why you have to take care of your system’s security. If this malicious threat has already slithered in, it might have already encrypted files that have such extensions as .java .avi, .jpeg, .mp3, .ppt, .doc, and .java. This devious ransomware detects personal files and silently encrypts them using the AES encryption algorithm. This encryption method has been employed by TorLocker Virus, Enigma Ransomware, Locked Ransomware, and plenty of other infamous infections. The good news is that you will not need to deal with all of these threats at the same time. The bad news is that they are extremely aggressive and vicious. Before we show you how to delete CryptoHitman Ransomware from your operating system, we explain how this threat works. Read more »

Vegclass@aol.com Ransomware is a malicious software that locks not only your personal files but also all third-party programs on your computer, e.g. Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, etc. The encrypted data becomes unusable, and the only way to recover it is to get a unique key that was used in the encryption process. The problem is that this key is known only to the cyber criminals who created the ransomware and used it to encrypt your files. Naturally, you are asked to pay a ransom in exchange of the key, but even if you make the payment, there is a chance that they will not give it up. We advise you to consider paying the ransom only if the encrypted files are extremely important to you. Otherwise, you should remove the malware from your system. If you do not know how to erase it, you should see the instructions below the article. When you are sure that the infection is gone, you can recover the files from backup, provided that you have one.
