Tron Ransomware is a malicious application that locks your files and shows a warning saying you have only ten days to make a payment to recover them.

As you see, the malware’s creators claim they will decrypt user’s data after he contacts them via email, but they do not explain how it will happen. The question is how can you be sure they have the means to unlock the data damaged by Tron Ransomware or if they will be willing to help you. After all, seeing that the user does not mind paying, the hackers could decide to ask for more money. Unfortunately, under such circumstances, there cannot be any reassurances. Thus, if you do not want to throw out your money for nothing, we urge you not to take any chances. Provided you decide to follow our advice, we encourage you to follow the deletion instructions located a bit below and erase this malware at once.

Skyfile Ransomware is a newly-discovered ransomware infection our specialists have detected while looking for new malicious applications. Since it has been detected only recently and is still new crypto-malware, we believe that it is not distributed very actively yet. Of course, it does not mean that it cannot infiltrate your computer and cause you problems one day. Ransomware infections are quite sneaky threats, so the majority of users do not even notice when they infiltrate their computers. They find out about the entrance of crypto-malware when it is already too late, i.e. when they find their files locked. Users who do not want to end up with ransomware infections cannot leave their systems unprotected. If it is already too late for prevention in your case, we want to encourage you to delete Skyfile Ransomware from your system fully right away, especially if you are not going to send money to its author for the decryption of files. Yes, ransomware infections try to obtain money from victims. If it stays and continues working on your PC, all new files you create will be encrypted in no time as well. We cannot promise that you will delete Skyfile Ransomware from your system very easily because this infection drops a bunch of new files, disables Task Manager, and makes changes in the system registry on affected computers, so we recommend reading this report first before you go to remove this ransomware infection from your system.

Yet another file-encrypting ransomware was found, and it is called Horros Ransomware. Although it should be categorized as a ransomware, at the time of research, no ransom demands were made by the creators of the infection, which is not the most surprising thing, but it is still unusual. It is quite likely that this infection is still in development or that it was created by amateurs. Considering that it was built using the Hidden Tear source code – which is open for anyone – it is highly likely that it the infection was created by someone who did not know what they were doing. Although the threat does not demand any payment to be made in return of software that allegedly would decrypt files (such software is never given in exchange for the ransom anyway), it can encrypt files, which is why Windows users need to keep it away. If it is too late for that, and you need a plan to remove Horros Ransomware from your operating system, keep reading. If you have any questions about the things discussed, post a comment below.

EGGLocker Ransomware is the newest ransomware infection specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com have discovered. At the time of research, it did not lock files on users’ computers and did not drop a ransom note demanding money, so it is safe to say that this malicious application is still in development. Of course, it might be updated soon, so do not be so sure that this infection cannot slither onto your computer and cause problems. Ransomware infections do not need to get permission from users to enter their computers, so it might not be very easy to protect your system against this threat too.

As research conducted by our specialists has shown, this ransomware infection creates a folder named EGG on Desktop, a file EGG.txt, and kills several processes on victims’ computers, but it still cannot be called sophisticated malware because it does not make any major modifications on affected systems.

If Sorry HT Ransomware has invaded your operating system and encrypted your personal files, most likely, there is nothing for you to delete because this threat has the capability of erasing itself once the attack is complete. The purpose of this infection is to make a request for a ransom, and since it can encrypt files, making this request is very easy. If the victims of this malicious infection do not have their personal files backed up online or on external drives, recovering files is not possible without a decryptor and/or decryption key, and the creator of this infection might offer it for a price. This infection works exactly like Mole66 Ransomware, Gedantar Ransomware, L0cked Ransomware, and all other similar infections that our Anti-Spyware-101.com research team has reported quite recently. Unfortunately, ransomware is a group of malware that continues to grow. Although there are security measures that can be taken to protect files and operating systems against it, Windows users often fail to take care of their virtual security in time. We discuss this, as well as the removal of Sorry HT Ransomware, in this report. Read more »
