If a window entitled “onion3 crypt” has popped up on your screen, there is no doubt that a malicious infection called Onion3Cry Ransomware has slithered in. If this malicious infection successfully invades an operating system, it quickly encrypts files that represent photos, documents, and other text and media files. Just like most ransomware threats, this one encrypts files that are considered personal. If these files are backed up externally or online, you do not need to stress about the files that were corrupted on your PC. But if backups do not exist, the malicious ransomware might push you into communicating with cyber criminals and paying a huge ransom for a tool that probably does not even exist. Needless to say, Anti-Spyware-101.com research team does not recommend wasting your money. Does that mean that the files corrupted on your PC are lost for good? While there is a small chance that a free decryptor will become available in the future, it is most likely that your files are lost. In either case, you must delete Onion3Cry Ransomware, and that is what we focus on in this report. Read more »

Finding Exolock Ransomware on your system could mean losing all your important files as this malicious program can slither onto your system without your knowledge and encrypt all your files behind your back. This is done with the intention to extort money from you for the decryption of your files, which, by the way, very rarely happens actually. Our malware experts at anti-spyware-101.com say that this current version that emerged only a month ago, in September, 2017, may only partially work. This means that it could crash upon finishing the encryption; therefore, you may not even see the ransom note screen and may not have a clue as to what has just happened. You should know that being hit by such a dangerous infection can only be cured by having a backup of your files somewhere safe or if malware hunters manage to come up with a free tool to recover your files. Well, right now we do not have knowledge of such a free tool; therefore, it is quite likely that you will lose all your files to this devastating attack. We advise you to remove Exolock Ransomware right away so that you can start with a clean system. Read more »

When your computer gets infected by ransomware, most of the time you are provided with a ransom note in a program window or a .txt or .html file. The Bud ransomware displays a ransom in a program window in which the text is being typed as if someone was typing it in real time. In the ransom warning, the infection informs the victim that pictures and other valuable files have been encrypted and provides instructions how to regain access to the locked data. Our advice is that you disregard the threatening requirements and take action to remove the Bud ransomware. Little cases are known when attackers indeed provide victims with decryption keys or tools. There are only several cases registered when cyber criminals publish the decryption keys of ransomware threats that are about to be abandoned. Even though the ransom warning says that you will surely regain access to your lost data, we strongly advise you against paying up. Read more »

It appears to be RedBoot Ransomware is a malicious file-encrypting program that, besides enciphering your data, can also damage the computer’s system or to be more precise a file called Master Boot Record, which is necessary in order to boot the PC’s operating system. Naturally, without the ability to load the operating system, the computer becomes of no use as you will not be able to perform any tasks with it. However, if you have your Windows boot CD, DVD, or recovery USB, there is a chance the Master Boot Record can be fixed. We will guide users through the fixing process with the instructions available below the article. Also, we would like to stress that if you succeed and the PC can boot again, you should get rid of RedBoot Ransomware immediately. It will not recover enciphered data, but there is no use in keeping it either. Plus, leaving the malicious program unattended could still be dangerous. Users can erase the infection manually while following the rest of our presented instructions or with a legitimate antimalware tool. Read more »

If you have found your files marked with .dian and could no longer open any of them, there is no doubt that '.dian File Extension' Ransomware, a nasty malicious application, has entered your computer and made modifications on it so that it could obtain money from you. This infection encrypts all popular formats of pictures, documents, and other files users usually consider the most valuable, so you will soon find out about the successful entrance of this ransomware infection if it ever shows up on your computer. Are you reading this article because you have already detected it on your system? If the answer to this question is “yes”, you should not worry about those encrypted files now because the first thing you must do is to delete the ransomware infection from your system as soon as possible. You cannot keep its components on your system because you might accidentally launch this infection again and get even more files encrypted. Theoretically, it might be possible to unlock those files with the special decryption tool cyber criminals claim to have, but, of course, this tool will not be given to you for free. Actually, you might not get it even if you transfer the required money to cyber criminals, which explains why we do not recommend sending money to malicious software developers. We cannot promise that you could unlock your files, but we are sure that it might be possible to restore them without the decryptor – we will tell you more about that in the paragraphs that follow.

HeroesOftheStorm Ransomware is not a very harmful threat for sure because, unlike real ransomware infections created for money extortion, it encrypts files located in one folder only and does not even demand a ransom. Also, specialists have observed that it contains bugs and crashes quite often, so, according to them, it is very likely that this infection has been developed for testing purposes, or it is still in development. We cannot promise that a new version of this infection will not be developed. Yes, there is a slight possibility that cyber criminals will update HeroesOftheStorm Ransomware one day and then it will start encrypting files in all locations and demanding money from users; however, no matter what version of this infection slithers onto your computer, you must go to erase it as soon as possible if you have already detected it on your system. The version of this threat analyzed by specialists at anti-spyware-101.com is not very sophisticated, so its removal should not be very problematic either, we believe. Of course, it would be best that you take action only after you read this entire article. Read more »

Mystic Ransomware is truly mystic, in a sense that it appears to have traveled from the past. The ransom note appears to have been created a long time ago because the conversion rates between Bitcoins and US Dollars are not accurate at all. Furthermore, the infection does not add a unique extension to the names of files that it encrypts, which makes it very difficult to figure out which files were corrupted and which ones were spared. It is unclear why this ransomware does that because most threats that come from this group make it very obvious which files were encrypted. InfinityLock Ransomware and Paradise Ransomware are two recent threats that our Anti-Spyware-101.com research team has analyzed, and both of them use unique extensions. Overall, although this ransomware is quite mysterious, we have enough information to help you understand it better. If you are only interested in removing Paradise Ransomware, you will find the instructions below, but we advise reading this report first. Read more »
