Ranion 1.08 Ransomware, according to our Anti-Spyware-101.com research team, is an upgrade from the previously reported Ranion 1.07 Ransomware. Both infections were created using a builder that is available to anyone who is willing to pay some money. The previous version; however, was incapable of encrypting files, and the 1.08 version can do that. When it corrupts the files, it also creates a ransom note to introduce the victim to a ransom demand. Without a doubt, this infection was built for financial gain only, and, unfortunately, the cyber criminals behind it do not have any reservations when it comes to reaching their goal. If you have let in this dangerous malware in, the first thing you want to do is check which files were corrupted. It is easy to identify them by the “.ransom” extension that is added to their names. Unfortunately, this malicious threat is likely to corrupt documents, personal photos, and other sensitive data. Hopefully, you have backup copies of these files because restoring the originals is likely to be impossible. What is not impossible is removing Ranion 1.08 Ransomware, and we have created a guide that shows how to do it successfully. Read more »

If you live in Korea, you need to beware of the malicious Korean AdamLocker Ransomware. This dangerous threat is capable of encrypting the personal files stored on your operating system, and, once they are encrypted, you are unlikely to be able to recover them.

Of course, if you remove the launcher right away, the threat might be stopped. However, if you do not delete BaYuCheng@yeah.net Ransomware in time, your files are either encrypted or erased. It is hard to say why exactly this malicious infection was created. One version of it pushes the victims to pay a ransom for an alleged decryptor, but there is also a version that does not even make a ransom demand. Instead, it quickly erases the files.

Ransomware infections are usually identified by their file extensions added to encrypted files. The ".frmvrlr2017" file extension refers to a new strain of ransomware which is known to be a spin-off of one of the latest ransomware threat named Globe. The Globe ransomware is based on the Purge TV series, and, unlike many other ransomware infections, uses a Blowfish encryption algorithm instead of AES encryption. The Globe ransomware has been tinkered several times, resulting in the release of different variants, one of which is the version adding the ."frmvlr2017" file extension.  This version has not been given a new name yet, so it may be referred to differently on different websites. As for this review, it is dubbed ".frmvrlr2017 file extension" ransomware. All the different versions of the Globe ransomware should be removed without paying attention to the requirements to pay money, because paying up does not ensure that the data encrypted will be restored.

Cypher Ransomware is a new malicious threat that is programmed in Python and capable of encrypting your important files. Our malware specialists at anti-spyware-101.com say that this ransomware started to spread at the end of this February and it demands an insane amount of ransom for the decryption key.

We think that even if you cannot get your files back this time, it is important to remove Cypher Ransomware from your system. For the details, please continue reading our article. Read more »
