If you have infected your system with wlojul@secmail.pro Ransomware, you may have just got lucky.

If your files became unrecognizable and they now have a .tron extension at the end, you most likely came across a malicious program known as Autotron Ransomware. The threat is capable of locking different file types with a secure cryptosystem. Unfortunately, the only way to restore such data is with a decryption tool and a unique decryption key. The bad news is that if there is anyone who has a decryptor, it is the malware’s developers, and according to the ransom note they leave behind they want money in return for providing it. Sadly, even if they claim they will not trick you and will deliver the tool as promised, in the end, there are no reassurances they will hold on to their end of the deal. Knowing this we would advise against paying a ransom; no matter how important your data might be. For more details about Autotron Ransomware we invite you to read our report, and if you decide it would be best to get rid of it, you could use the deletion instructions located at the end of this page.

You should see .SKUNK File Extension at the end of your files’ titles if you ever infect your computer with a malicious file-encrypting application known as Skunk Ransomware. If you happen to come across it all your documents, photographs, and other precious files could get ruined in just a couple of moments. The .SKUNK File Extension ransomware’s developers may guarantee they will decrypt locked files once the user pays a ransom, but in reality, there are no reassurances, because once the money is transferred the victim cannot take it back and we doubt these cybercriminals care what happens to encrypted data. Needless to say, if you do not think the hackers behind Skunk Ransomware can be trusted, we advise you not to risk your money. Instead, try to find copies you could use to replace encrypted files, e.g., some copies might be available through user’s cloud storage, social media accounts, removable media devices, etc. Just before attempting to recover any files it is vital to secure the system and erase the malware. To do so, get a legitimate antimalware tool you like or use the instructions available below. Read more »

Assembly Ransomware is a new danger that can threaten your files. Although this ransomware program may have been written by a noob based on the code, it can still encrypt all your important files and demand a rather high ransom note for the decryption. Our malware experts at anti-spyware-101.com say that this badly written malware infection is actually built on the well-known Hidden Tear Ransomware, which is an open-source infection originally used for educational purposes only. However, rookies as well as pro hackers started to use this open-source code for creating their own versions of a ransomware threat and this is how dozens of new variants have seen the light of day, such as Cyberresearcher Ransomware and Horros Ransomware. But even if this particular ransomware is not the most professional job we have ever seen, you need to take it seriously since there is a chance that you may lose all your important files. Hopefully, though, you have a recently saved backup on a removable hard disk or in cloud because you may not be able to decrypt all your files using a general Hidden Tear decryptor. All in all, we advise you to act immediately and remove Assembly Ransomware from your computer. Read more »

Researchers have recently detected a ransomware infection Satyr Ransomware that was not in their database, but an in-depth analysis revealed that it is not entirely a new threat. It turned out that it is a new version of Spartacus Ransomware. It is as dangerous as the original infection, so, believe us, it would not be fun to encounter it. Our malware researchers say that it is one of those malicious applications that mercilessly encrypt files on those computers they manage to infiltrate. Ransomware-type infections act like this not without reason. Cyber criminals behind them program those ransomware infections to lock files so that they could obtain money from users easier. Satyr Ransomware is no exception. It will also demand money from you after encrypting your pictures, documents, music, videos, and other files it finds on your computer, but you should not send cyber criminals a cent because there are no guarantees that you will be given the decryption tool. To make sure that users cannot get their files back using alternative data recovery methods, Satyr Ransomware executes a command (cmd.exe", "/c vssadmin.exe delete shadows /all /quiet) that deletes Shadow Volume Copies of these affected files, but you can still recover all those files from a backup. You need to delete the ransomware infection first. It opens a window that cannot be moved, but we are sure you will successfully delete this infection manually if you read this report first and then use instructions prepared by specialists at anti-spyware-101.com.

When a program is called Blackheart Ransomware, it is probably clear that you cannot expect anything good from it. As you can probably tell, this program is part of the ongoing ransomware epidemic, and it comes forth to profit from your demise.

And that is the main reason computer security experts maintain that everyone should keep a backup of their data. Because removing Blackheart Ransomware would not get your files back. Read more »

Researchers working at anti-spyware-101.com have detected a new ransomware-type infection Nmcrypt Ransomware in the wild. It has turned out that this infection is not exactly a brand new threat since it seems to be a new version of an older crypto-threat NM4 Ransomware. The main thing that distinguishes it from the older version of this ransomware infection is the filename extension it uses. While the previous version used the .NM4 extension to mark encrypted files, Nmcrypt Ransomware appends .nmcrypt to all those files it affects, but there is no doubt that they share the same goal. Cyber criminals develop ransomware infections because they want to obtain money from users, and since they know that it is not so easy to make them send money, they usually set these malicious applications to lock the most valuable files they have. In other words, if the user ever gets infected with crypto-malware, the chances are high that he/she will find all documents, pictures, videos, and many other files encrypted. In such a case, you have only two choices. First, send money to cyber criminals expecting that they will unlock files for you or give you the decryption tool. Second, delete the ransomware infection from your system fully and then restore those affected files from a backup. The choice is yours, so choose wisely. Read more »

Based on the text in the windows displayed by DotZeroCMD Ransomware it seems it is supposed to be a malicious file-encrypting program designed for money extortion. However, even though it asks for a ransom in the mentioned notes, it does not appear to be able to encipher any data even though the displayed texts tell a different story. Thus, before you start to panic or think about paying the ransom, we urge you to check the files on the infected device first. If they can be opened and the system seems to be able to recognize them, as usual, it means DotZeroCMD Ransomware did not do anything to them. There is a possibility the malware could be updated later on, but until it does, we would recommend not to waste any time with it and erase it immediately. In fact, even if it would encipher your data, we would advise removing it just the same since there is always a chance the hackers behind the malware might scam the victim. As always to learn how to eliminate this malicious program we invite you to follow the instructions located below the text. Read more »
