However, our researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com also found out the malware does not encipher any data if it finds clues suggesting the victim could be using a Slavic keyboard. Naturally, because of this, users from particular countries might be less likely to encounter this threat. In case you happen to come across it and have no idea what to do now, we would recommend reading our full report to learn more details about GandCrab4 Ransomware. What’s more, since we advise deleting the malware instead of putting up with any demands from the cybercriminals behind it, you will find instructions explaining how to erase it manually slightly below the article.

A new variant of Rapid Ransomware – Rpd Ransomware – has been recently detected by specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com. It has been classified as a ransomware infection right away because it has been observed that this malicious application encrypts files on victims’ computers. It locks pretty much all files it manages to find, including users’ precious images, documents, and all other media files it comes across. There is only one group of files it does not touch – system files. It means that the ransomware infection does not ruin the operating system running on the computer. Research has shown that Rpd Ransomware encrypts all files using the AES encryption algorithm. This means that it might be impossible to unlock them without the special decryptor. If you drop an email to the email address found in the ransom note, you will most likely be offered to purchase it, but you should not do that by any means even if you can easily afford it. Unfortunately, it might be impossible to unlock files without the special decryptor because this malicious application also deletes Shadow Volume Copies of files so that users could not recover them easily. The only thing that works in all the cases is restoring files from a backup. Read more »

help@badfail.info Ransomware is a malicious application that has locked files on your computer if they have all received the V.0.0.0.1{help@badfail.info}.paradise filename extension. We consider this threat dangerous malicious software because it mercilessly encrypts almost all files it manages to find on the affected computer. Luckily, it does not encrypt any system files, so your Windows operating system will not be ruined. It does not lock users’ personal files just for fun. Instead, it seems that it also tries to obtain money from users like similar infections categorized as ransomware: “You have to pay for decryption in Bitcoins. The price depends on how fast you write to us.” We have to admit that there might be no other ways to get files back if files have already been locked by ransomware because they use strong ciphers to encrypt data, but it does not mean that you should send money to malicious software developers. There are no guarantees that you will get the decryption tool from them, so you should not transfer a cent. It does not mean that there are no ways to unlock files. Continue reading to find more.

It is easy to let Everbe 2.0 Ransomware in by making a simple mistake. This mistake could be opening a corrupted spam email attachment that is introduced to you using an incredibly believable message. You could also make the mistake of downloading the launcher of the ransomware by interacting with a malicious downloader/installer. These can be presented on unreliable file-sharing sites, as well as via pop-up scams. If you are fooled into letting the infection in, it wastes no time. First, it deletes shadow volume copies to make the recovery of files more complicated or even impossible. Some Windows users choose system-provided backups, but that is not what we recommend doing because cyber criminals have figured out how to affect internal backups. Instead, we recommend using online storage services or external drives. Hopefully, your personal files are already backed up externally, and the ransomware has no way of blackmailing you. Continue reading to learn more about this. We also show how to delete Everbe 2.0 Ransomware. Read more »

You do not want any threat invading your personal space, but you definitely do not want to face CryptConsole v3 Ransomware. This is a file-encryptor that destroys everything in its way. Of course, it does not encrypt system files because it needs a functional operating system, and, also, it is easy for victims to reinstall their systems. On the other hand, recovering personal files might not be possible. Anti-Spyware-101.com research team recommends relying on file backups. If they do not exist, you might be leaning towards fulfilling the demands introduced to you by the creator of the infection; however, that is not a good idea. Why? The simple answer is that you cannot trust anything that cyber criminals tell you or instruct you to do. Have you already gave in and paid the ransom? Most likely, the promised “automatic decryptor” was not given to you in return. Hopefully, you can find a way to recover files, but, regardless of the outcome, you must remove CryptConsole v3 Ransomware, and we can show how to do it. Read more »

If you are not careful about the security of your operating system, Scarab-Deep Ransomware might attack in a very clandestine way. It appears that the infection could use spam emails to expose gullible and careless users to the malicious launcher. Unreliable installers and unguarded remote access connections could be used to drop malware too. Once installed, the infection can successfully encrypt files that you would call personal, including documents, media content, or photos. The “.deep” extension is added to all of the files that are corrupted. The sad thing is that you cannot restore files by removing the added extension or the infection itself. The only thing that can help is a decryptor, and it is in the hands of cyber criminals. In some cases, free decryptors exist, but Anti-Spyware-101.com research team informs that it does not exist for this malware. To put the cherry on top of the cake, the ransomware also drops another piece of malware, a banking Trojan. The good news is there is a way to delete Scarab-Deep Ransomware and the malicious Trojan at the same time. Read more »

CryptoGod 2018 Ransomware is a ransomware infection our specialists have discovered recently. Even though it is capable of encrypting files, it should not evolve into a large malware campaign, according to specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com. They say that this infection could have been developed for educational purposes only, or it is still in development because it encrypted only one folder at the time of research: %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\test. We are sure there are not many users who have a folder named “test” on their Desktops, so even if they encounter it somehow, they should not find a single file encrypted on their computers. It does not mean that the ransomware infection can stay installed on the system if it has not locked data. There is a small possibility that it will get an update and then will start working as a normal ransomware infection, so it should be erased from the system as soon as possible. You should not find the CryptoGod 2018 Ransomware removal complicated at all because it is not one of those sophisticated malicious infections that not only drop files on affected computers, but also make significant changes in the system registry.
